Fine Dining at Jade Quintharos

A Culinary Journey

Where Pacific flavors meet artisan technique

Chef at Work

Honestly, it's about the ingredients

Look, we're not gonna throw fancy French terms at you or pretend every dish is revolutionary. What we do here is pretty straightforward - we get incredible ingredients from local farms and coastal suppliers, then we don't mess 'em up.

Our head chef, Marcus, spent fifteen years bouncing between Michelin kitchens in Europe before moving back to BC. He'll tell you himself - the best meals aren't complicated. Fresh wild salmon needs maybe three ingredients. A perfect tomato in August? Just salt and good olive oil.

The menu changes with what's actually in season, not what sounds trendy. Sometimes that means we're out of certain dishes by 8pm on a Saturday. That's just how it goes when you're working with real stuff.

Meet the Team

The folks actually making your dinner

Chef Marcus Chen

Marcus Chen

Executive Chef

Trained in Lyon, raised in Richmond. Marcus brings West Coast sensibility to classical technique. He's obsessed with fermentation and has a sourdough starter that's older than most relationships.

Pastry Chef

Sophie Beaumont

Pastry Chef

Sophie's desserts have made grown adults cry. She worked under Pierre Herme in Paris but says the berries here in BC beat anything she found in France. Her lavender honey tart? Yeah, it's a problem.

Sommelier

James Pritchard

Head Sommelier

James knows the Okanagan Valley better than most locals. He'll actually listen to what you like instead of pushing the priciest bottle. Also happens to have a killer collection of natural wines if that's your thing.

Private Dining & Events

Got something special coming up?

Private Dining Room

We've got a private dining room that seats up to 18 people. It's perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, business dinners, or whatever you're celebrating.

Marcus can work with you on a custom menu - maybe you want that salmon dish but with a twist, or you've got someone who doesn't eat gluten. We're flexible.

The room's got its own entrance, wine display, and a view of the kitchen if you're into that sort of thing. We can also do wine pairings with each course - James gets really excited about this stuff.

Sunday Brunch Is Coming Soon

We're working on something special for weekend mornings. Think buttermilk pancakes, eggs benedict that doesn't suck, and bottomless mimosas. Sign up below and we'll let you know when we launch.
