A contemporary French restaurant that takes inspiration from Canada’s luscious bounty and rich ‘red earth’
COVID-19 has been top of mind since the virus has been hitting a little closer to home in Markham, and we have come to the difficult decision to close Terre Rouge temporarily for three weeks to ensure the health and safety of our staff and patrons. Health and safety concerns of our guests and employees come first and we want everyone to be comfortable dining at Terre Rouge.
Thank you for your love and support! We will be back shortly.
Above all, the warm and sophisticated ambience makes for an elegant respite in downtown Markham. That said, Terre Rouge is the perfect contemporary French dining establishment for a romantic tête-á-tête, rendezvous with family and friends or private party.
Bon appetit!

Our Team
FORREST LIU
EXECUTIVE CHEF
Chef Forrest began his career at a young age at the prestigious Three on the Bund by Jean Georges.
He was influenced by his mentor Chef Jean Georges Vongerichten’s contemporary French cooking style and technique, which lead to stints at Jade 36 under Chef Paul Pairet and Chef Fabrice Giraud. Subsequently, with years of experience within contemporary French kitchens, Chef Forrest moved to Canada and attended George Brown College where he obtained his diploma in Culinary Management.
Over the years, Chef Forrest has worked in some of Toronto’s best restaurants including One Restaurant, Canoe, George, Lee Restaurant, Bent Restaurant, Le Select Bistro, Toca at the Ritz Carlton and Carmen’s Steak House.
HIEU NGUYEN
GENERAL MANAGER
Hieu’s hands-on approach and attention to detail oversaw every aspect of the front of house management at some of the most distinguished restaurants in Toronto including Far Niente, The Fifth, Cru, Fred’s Not Here, Alice Fazooli’s and others.
Travel has always inspired and ignited his passion for hospitality. While exploring and pairing a myriad of flavours and wines in Spain, Hieu recognized the simple satisfaction and understanding of what true hospitality meant — creating a memorable experience.
At Terre Rouge, Hieu is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the restaurant and, above all, ensuring the quality of guests’ experiences.
AARON LAZARIDIS
SOUS CHEF
A Markham native, Sous Chef Aaron graduated from the George Brown College, completing his diploma in Culinary Management. Over the years, Aaron has created menus and managed stations in restaurants across the Greater Toronto area, including Far Niente and Modus Restaurant.
He believes the most flavourful contemporary French dishes are made from scratch, using high-quality and locally-sourced produce. Aaron is a passionate chef who is always eager to delve deeper into French cookery.
Since 2018, Aaron has become an asset to the Terre Rouge team, representing the restaurant at culinary events across Ontario.
KARAN TSOI
ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER
Though classically trained as a Chef, Karan loves nothing more than a perfectly paired wine accentuating the characteristics of a meal.
Learning to become a Sommelier, she loves discovering new wines and sharing her knowledge with guests, while elevating their dining experience. Karan credits her passion for wine to her love of languages. Growing up, she appreciated learning various languages as it translated to her desire for a deeper understanding of cultures.
For Karan, understanding the complexity of wine is undeniably fascinating and inspiring, crossing a myriad of subjects from geography to agriculture and linguistics.
