La Prep’s CEO Naveen Seth firmly believes that dining is not just about food, but about people as well. During his childhood in India, eating was an opportunity to get together with family, friends, and colleagues to share one of life’s simplest pleasures: a good meal. Later, after operating a string of highly successful businesses in Ontario, he decided to start catering lunches at his Ottawa-based IT business on Fridays. In doing so, he became well acquainted with several restaurant owners in the area and began cooking with them, which reignited his childhood passion for food and set him off on a new career path. In 2000, Seth acquired the Master Franchise rights for the Montreal-based La Prep brand (then known as Café Supreme) for southern Ontario. Over the next 18 years, he opened 35 successful locations in the GTA area until he finally purchased the entire brand in November 2017. Since taking over the reins, he has made it a priority to share his dining philosophy by introducing the two key concepts of “Find Your Balance” and “Social Bistro” .
