The Royal X Breakfast Club: Jen Agg

A special morning of conversation, connection, and hospitality insight.

Join us at The Royal Hotel for an intimate edition of The Breakfast Club featuring acclaimed restaurateur, author, and hospitality leader Jen Agg. Known for creating some of Canada’s most celebrated restaurants, including The Black Hoof and Grey Gardens, Jen has spent the past two decades challenging the way we think about restaurants, leadership, and workplace culture.

This thoughtful conversation will explore the stories behind Jen’s latest memoir, Table Boss: How to Build a Restaurant When Your Life Falls Apart (A Love Story), which reflects on building a career in hospitality while navigating profound personal change. With her signature honesty and wit, Jen will share insights on resilience, reinvention, and what it means to lead with purpose through uncertainty.

Guests will leave with a deeper understanding of the realities of running an independent restaurant, the importance of thoughtful leadership, and the lessons learned through a career shaped by creativity, perseverance, and a passion for hospitality.

Enjoy a beautiful breakfast at The Royal while connecting with a remarkable community and hearing from one of Canada’s most influential voices in the culinary world.
