We’ve pivoted to a hyperlocal approach for our new Arbutus Room dinner menu with approximately 90% being sourced from within 100km of us!
šVancouver Island has farmers and producers doing extraordinary things and we want to help them showcase the fruits of their labour. We want people to taste the difference of something picked at peak ripeness, in season, from the field two days ago.
š§āš¾Supporting local isnāt always easy, but we believe the payoff is worth it. Weāre here to celebrate the difference that fresh, local, and in-season ingredients can make ā not just for your taste buds, but for the future of sustainable food systems.
Some of those extraordinary groups that we are proud to source from:
– South Island Farm Hub – Victoria
– True Grains ā Duncan
– West Coast Mycology ā Metchosin
– Saanich Organics ā Saanich
– The Citrus Shack ā Duncan
– Portofino ā Saanich
– Ultimate Microgreens ā Saanich
– Finest at Sea – Victoria
Our goal is to honour our restaurantās namesake and find a harmonious culinary voice in this amazing landscape. Refined, seasonal, contemporary West Coast cuisine, borrowing global techniques, with a focus on honouring the history and traditions of the land we occupy, the seasonal local bounty and a collaboration with the amazing farming community on southern Vancouver Island.
