On this edition of B次元官网网址楾oday in BCB次元官网网址�, host Peter McCully chats with Warren Barr and Lily Verney-Downey of Pluvio Restaurant in Ucluelet.

TripAdvisor recently unveiled its Best of the Best Awards for 2022 and Pluvio Restaurant and Rooms topped the Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Canada category.

The couple opened the intimate 24-seat culinary business in 2019.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 very rewarding,B次元官网网址� said Verney-Downey. B次元官网网址淲e get a lot of cards, letters and even presents from guests after theyB次元官网网址檝e left just thanking us for a wonderful evening. ItB次元官网网址檚 pretty amazing to be able to impact people that much through a restaurant. ItB次元官网网址檚 awesome.B次元官网网址�

Chef Warren Barr was asked about the movement today to create as many items and ingredients on the menu as possible.

B次元官网网址淭hereB次元官网网址檚 all sorts of different ideas about what Canadian food is,B次元官网网址� said Barr. B次元官网网址淏ut I think where IB次元官网网址檝e landed with it is we have all these cultural influences for sure, which is great because thereB次元官网网址檚 just so much to inspire us and for us to learn from and so many sort of resources are drawn as far as culinary inspiration goes. Executing these influences but keeping the product domestic, I think is what makes that interesting.B次元官网网址�

Because the restaurant is fairly small, Pluvio changes the menus fluidly in response to what ingredients are available.

Verney-Downey says they are fortunate to have a wonderful sommelier on staff and in 2020 made a wine specifically for Pluvio with Avril wineries.
