I create seasonal, thoughtfully sourced menus inspired by travel, the ocean, and the true origins of ingredients.

Mike Sonier

I cook seasonally, with coastal roots and ingredient-driven technique.

I bring over 20 years of experience as an executive chef and restaurateur, focusing on seasonal, carefully sourced ingredients, skillful technique, and thoughtfully paired menus. Raised in the Maritimes and now based on the West Coast, I blend East Coast tradition with the abundance and diversity of my current surroundings.

I spend time foraging, fishing, hunting, and sourcing ingredients firsthand, and I’m deeply influenced by travel and the communities I’ve learned from through cooking and shared meals. I offer experiences ranging from multi-course tastings to relaxed family-style meals, backyard barbecues, and passed canapés—always tailored to the occasion.

I keep things honest and let the ingredients speak for themselves.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook to create connection

Cooking is about connection—from the ingredients to the table—and I use that mindset to bring people together, slow down, and enjoy the moment.

I learned early and built a lifetime of craft

I started learning at a young age from my grandmother, and I’ve carried that foundation through decades of work as an executive chef and restaurateur.

I let ingredients lead

I keep my cooking honest by letting ingredients speak for themselves, building dishes around natural, ingredient-driven flavours and sound technique.
