A family canteen
turned into a real restaurant.
Le Chaudron de Fonte was born in 2014, in Trois-Rivières, when Marc-Antoine Bellefeuille took over his mother's family canteen to turn it into a restaurant in its own right — without ever betraying the recipes he grew up with.
Our approach
Local products
Nothing frozen — we cook with what the Mauricie region offers.
A family story
Every dish carries a handed-down recipe, revisited but never betrayed.
Big tables, celebrated
A relaxed atmosphere, made to welcome groups.
Marc-Antoine Bellefeuille, chef and owner
We cook like at home: local products, nothing frozen, and a relaxed atmosphere where big tables are celebrated.
A cook for 15 years, trained at the ITHQ, Marc-Antoine took over his mother's family canteen in 2014 to turn it into a real restaurant — while keeping the recipes he grew up with. He now leads a kitchen team of 6, a young and passionate brigade.
