Frederic Jaros

Frederic Jaros is equally accomplished in savory cuisine and pastry—a duality shaped by a cinematography family background that gives his work a theatrical edge.

After graduating from ITHQ, Quebec’s premier culinary school, he became the youngest manager at Montreal’s Le Filet. In 2015, he moved to Italy and joined Contraste Milano, where he served as the one‑man pastry team and helped the restaurant earn its first Michelin star.

In 2019, he moved to Shanghai as a founding member and Executive Pastry Chef of Da Vittorio Shanghai. The restaurant earned a Michelin star within three months and has held two stars since its second year.

In 2024, he launched his own projects: TING, a theatrical chef’s table with seasonal tasting menus, and VERIE Bakehouse, a neighbourhood bakery applying Michelin‑level precision to viennoiseries and celebration cakes.
