Our culinary program is focused on showcasing the rich flavours of the Kootenay region. We prepare those ingredients thoughtfully, to curate beautiful dishes. By partnering with local farmers, foragers, and artisans, we ensure that our dishes reflect the seasonality and bounty of our beautiful environment. Our menu features wholesome, hearty meals that are crafted to replenish, invigorate, and create an experience that is like no other.
We embrace a farm-to-table approach, emphasizing organic and ethical ingredients. Our kitchen is dedicated to minimizing waste and maximizing flavour, with a focus on creating dishes that honour the land and the people who cultivate it. We celebrate the traditions of mountain cuisine while infusing each plate with a touch of innovation, offering a unique dining experience that complements the adventurous spirit of our guests.
In our kitchen, every voice is important. We foster an environment that promotes creativity, originality and a high level of execution. This allows us to collectively craft dishes that are prepared with passion, pride & personality.
