Hot Off The Grill

What's new in the world of culinary travel.

YOU MAY FEEL as though you've left the rest of the world behind as you journey to remote Clayoquot Wilderness Resort near Tofino but you'll be welcomed by some of Canada's most sophisticated cuisine. This all-inclusive Relais & Châteaux resort, comprised of luxury tented accommodation tucked at the edge of the UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve on Vancouver Island, features Pacific Northwest Asian-inspired cuisine created under the direction of celebrated Executive Chef Michael Pataran. Culinary highlights include `Faith' the nine-course chef's tasting table as well as dishes featuring unique ingredients foraged from the rainforest, sourced from local suppliers or plucked fresh from the sea. You can feel good about eating here — Clayoquot Wilderness Resort is a member of the Ocean Wise program, which ensures all seafood is local and sustainably harvested. Meals are served within the Cookhouse Dining Room, a grand timber building with a wood-burning fireplace, open kitchen and floor-to-ceiling windows. Open May 16 through September 15, 2019. www.wildretreat.com
