Chef Candace Hartley, who ran the Empress Dining Room at the world
famous Empress Hotel prior to her arrival at Dunsmuir Lodge conference
centre in 1997, is regarded as one of the top chefs in Canada today.
Candace has developed and nurtured ties to over 40 local growers
and ranchers who provide Dunsmuir Lodge with a constant supply of
some of British Columbia's finest and most specialised and organically
grown products. Special emphasis is also given to the abundance
of fresh seafood provided by the surrounding waters. Our cuisine
is a modern classic style that combines these products into artful
presentations that will excite both the eye and the palate.
