A new chapter for Chef
Page.

It bears simpler culinary

rid

tales than previous chapters,
but it is no less satisfying.
Indeed, for those who prefer
fine foods with their happy
endings, it will be a most
enjoyable serving.

But first a foreword into
the past: Gerard Page joins
Michel Segur in the launch of
Chez Michel restaurant in West
Vancouver way back in 1979.
The North Shore’s western-
Most province gets its first
authentic French bistro. And

of the longest serving and
most consistently enjoyable
French food sagas north of
Burrard Inlet.

Page later departs Chez
Michel to stoke the fine grills
of La Belle Sole, another
French-style restaurant in West
Vancouver — this one in 3 sec-
ond-storey location overlook-
ing Bellevue Avenue that now
houses Mark Sager’s Infiston
restaurant.

La Belle, too, meets with
much local success. But after
six years of running the West
Vancouver restaurant with two
other partners, Page sells La
Belle and embarks on assorted
culinary adventures that
include a stint at the Pan
Pacific Hotel, a returr: to
France and a stint at the Chef
and Carpenter restaurant in

Curtain down. Much applause.
Mais, non.

Monsieur Page has aspira-
tions well beyond Chez
Michel’s kitchen. He is a high
energy French chef. He oper-
ates his own catering business;
and he can sec himself in his
own kitchen in his own restau-
rant.
