About The Chefs
Fernando Brasil
On the small island of St. Jorge, Azores, Fernando was born. From a young age, he carefully watched his mother and grandmother spend hours in the kitchen using fresh, local ingredients, to prepare their traditional family recipes, and thus his appreciation of cooking was ignited at just seven years old.
After working at several restaurants, he formalized his training at George Brown College, graduating with a diploma in Culinary Arts, and achieving his Red Seal Certification. This led to roles at several prestigious hotels and catering companies, in Hamilton and Toronto.
With only the finest ingredients gis delectable menus cater to a broad range of tastes, while his constant attention to food and cooking trends keeps his cuisine innovative and original.
