Originally from Anjou, Maryse Benny has been involved in the restaurant business since her youth. She remembers helping her father, Jean-Marc Benny, at lunchtime when she was in school. He was one of eight brothers who co-founded the company in 1960. Working for the family business was Maryse’s first student job. She has held almost every position: cook, cashier, manager and accounting clerk. This allowed her to acquire a thorough knowledge of the company’s operations. In 1987, she gained her first experience in management at the family rotisserie in Repentigny.

Maryse Benny is now the owner of several rotisseries on Montreal’s North Shore. At the openings of her restaurants, she welcomes each member of the community who stops by as if she were welcoming them into her own home. Before opening the Terrebonne location in La Plaine in September 2022, Maryse already owned rotisseries in Repentigny (1983 and 2011), Pointe-aux-Trembles (1987), L’Assomption (2019) and Mascouche (2020). A new restaurant opens in Lachenaie in 2024. Now, more than 50 delivery cars serve these regions to meet the growing customer demand.

Today, Maryse is the mother of four children. Two of them, Tanya and Samuel, are following her footsteps in the family business. Tanya gained her first management experience at the rotisserie in Pointe-aux-Trembles and then took over management of the Repentigny location in 2015. Meanwhile, Samuel rose through the ranks—from kitchen helper to business partner—while completing his studies. Maryse is co-owner of the Terrebonne location (La Plaine), alongside Tanya and Samuel: A beautiful family story just like we love them at Benny&Co.

Maryse and her team are eagerly waiting for you to discover, or rediscover, the relaxed atmosphere, and unique flavours of Quebec’s Benny&Co. family rotisseries.
