Grumman 78

Grumman 78 has been earning a reputation as quite the trail-blazer in the Montreal street food game, offering both a restaurant in Saint-Henri and a highly successful taco-yielding food truck. “This is chef’s food. Traditionally street food tries to please everyone. We’re going for something much more creative and original,” explains co-owner Gaëlle Cerf.

Formerly the manager at Pied de Cochon, Gaëlle has over 20 years’ experience in the restaurant industry. “I wanted to do something different to traditional food,” she says. Her vision became a reality in 2010 when she teamed up with Marc-André Leclerc and Hilary McGown, who were working on the food truck’s design. "We immediately hit it off," says Gaëlle.

Marc-André and Hilary began to toy with the idea of ​​owning a taco truck after a trip to Mexico, where they fell in love with the concept of upscale street food.
