GRANT MACDONALD
Restaurant Chef
YEW Restaurant & Bar at Four Seasons Hotel
Vancouver, BC
Vancouver, BC
Grant Macdonald is thrilled to be back in Vancouver. "The food scene here is incredible," says
the chef of YEW restaurant & bar, who spent 14 years working in Montreal's Le Club Des Pins and in three of David Bouley's New York restaurants.
Chef Grant revels in the quality of the local, seasonal ingredients at his disposal, creating dishes like Qualicum Beach Scallop Crudo and house-cured Coho Salmon for his unique menus.
Macdonald's goal for both the restaurant and its dynamic bar scene is to create simple food that is never simplistic. One of his signature dishes involves pairing local tuna with charmoula, a Moroccan sauce rich in lemon, herbs and spices.
"There is so much local bounty," he says, "from the Qualicum Bay scallops to the Sidney Island venison. The quality of ingredients here is amazing."
