I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked “what’s your favourite restaurant?” and my answer is simple. I don’t have one. For me, when all is said and done it comes down to the food, so I follow the chef more so than the restaurant, and in this case I follow Chef Hamid Salimian.

I guess you could say I grew up watching Anna Olsen’s baking show Sugar. I would always get so jealous that she could fit 3 recipes in one half hour episode. I attended her Edible Canada at The Market Dinner where she featured a multicourse dinner. See her recipe for Fiddlehead Salad!

It’s the 35th World Association of Chefs Societies (WACS) in Daejeon, Korea and Chef Tobias MacDonald from La Belle Auberge is the representative for the Americas. I was honoured to be invited to attend Chef Tobias’ final practice run for his Global Chef’s Menu at La Belle Auberge.

Behind me was the skyline of my beautiful city and on my plate was the rest of the world. It was a refined style and exploration of unique ingredients executed with very subtle and delicate flavours. The flavours were simple, but very finely tuned. It was the work of a passionate chef.

It’s a new French bistro and if it can remain as consistent as the both times I’ve tried it, then I’m looking at a new local favourite that is here to stay. It’s a neighbourhood restaurant with affordable prices for the area. The food is rich, but it’s still catered for West Coast tastes.

It supports local suppliers and seasonal ingredients, and it’s a very West Coast version of Canadian cuisine. The food is fresh and good quality and it offers sophisticated versions of the basics that are still very approachable.

It’s an upscale restaurant serving Pacific Northwest and West Coast cuisine, but on occasion I felt a disconnect in the theme of the restaurant and the approach to the menu. I was on the Boneta board for the most part, but there were some hit and miss dishes.

Canada’s best culinary talent under one roof, in one kitchen, on one evening. This will be an epic experience. A recap of the Taste of Talent benefit dinner presented by the BC Culinary Arts Foundation & Canadian Culinary Federation.
