Dining atmosphere

The Enchanted Table

Where culinary artistry dances with ancient mysticism

Signature dish

Our Philosophy

Look, we're not gonna pretend every dish comes with some magical spell attached. But there's definitely something special happening in our kitchen that's hard to put into words.

Chef Morgana's been experimenting with seasonal ingredients and flavor combinations for over fifteen years, and honestly? She's created something pretty unique. You won't find these recipes anywhere else because she literally won't share them with anyone.

The dining room itself has this atmosphere that guests keep asking about - maybe it's the lighting, maybe it's the century-old architecture, or maybe there really is something mystical going on. You'll have to come see for yourself.

The Twilight Tasting

  • Wine pairing available
  • Approximately 2.5 hours
  • Reservation required

$145 per person

Sunrise Ritual

  • Daily 6:30 AM - 11:00 AM
  • A la carte or prix fixe
  • Fresh pressed juices
  • Vegetarian & vegan options

Chef at work

Meet Chef Morgana Vale

She's not big on interviews or TV appearances, but she'll chat with you if you catch her during service. Trained in Paris, worked in Tokyo, somehow ended up in Vancouver and decided to stay.

Her approach to cooking is... well, she calls it "intuitive gastronomy" which sounds pretentious until you taste what she creates. She's serious about sustainable sourcing - knows most of her suppliers by name and visits their farms personally.

The mystical theming? That was actually her idea. She's got this whole philosophy about how cooking is basically modern alchemy. After trying her food, it's hard to argue with her.

"Food should transport you somewhere else, even if just for a moment. That's the real magic - not the smoke and mirrors, but the experience itself."

Dining Policies Worth Knowing

Smart casual dress code after 6 PM - we're not super strict but sneakers and gym wear don't really match the vibe. Kids are welcome but honestly, the atmosphere works better for ages 12+. We hold reservations for 15 minutes, then we've gotta release the table. Cancellations are fine, just give us 24 hours notice if you can.
