Chef
Gregor, after a year of traveling, is back for our
2008 season! When a person thinks of cutting
edge cuisine in British Columbia they often think
of high-end restaurants in the lower mainland, or
funky bistros in Nelson, but usually not the Cariboo.
That has changed. In the heart of the Cariboo, at
the end of the road and in the middle of nowhere,
is a five-star restaurant at Elysia Resort on Quesnel
Lake serving fresh and locally raised food, often
organic, whenever possible.
Chef
Gregor, our chef at Elysia Resort, has brought the
resort's restaurant up a notch. With us now since
2005, Greg has brought an amazing array of dishes
to the central interior of British Columbia. His ability
to experiment with, and mix unusual flavors sets him
apart from the norm. He also maintains and harvests
his own organic garden, right on the resort property.
You will often see him running out the back door of
the kitchen to pluck something for the meal he is
preparing.
Greg
sources out local and organic products whenever possible,
including 4H Lamb and locally raised, hormone free,
government inspected beef.
Greg
has also vastly improved our wine list and brought
in some wonderful wines from around the world to pair
with his amazing creations.
New
for 2008! This year we are going to try
something a little bit different. We are not going
to offer a full dinner menu including daily features.
Rather, Chef Gregor will prepare only 2 or 3 fresh
menu items each night, and you will see a feature
board when you enter the dining room. We believe that
this will enhance even further Greg's creative abilities,
guarantee the absolute best possible degree of freshness,
and provide even more variety than previously offered.
Bon
Appetit!

What
one guest, a Senator from Oregon, had to say:
"I have had the good fortune of eating
in fine restaurants around the world, and I would
rate Chef Gregor's food and presentation right
at the top! Excellent food in an exceptional setting"

Cooking
Your Catch
The
fish caught in Quesnel Lake are considered to be some
of the sweetest and tastiest fish anywhere, due to
the clean, clear, deep water that they swim and eat
in. If you like eating your catch, we would be happy
to cook it for you in an array of different ways!
Or,
we can
smoke your catch so you can take it home and share
some of the memories. . . and, it's oh so good!
Gourmet Picnic Lunches
Bottom
line, we make awesome lunches. If you are on any of
our plans or packages, we custom make your lunches
every morning, in order for you to take it with you
on your all-day adventure. Your lunch consists of
pop or juice, coffee or tea, water, a morning snack,
fruit, an afternoon snack, and a Dagwood-like sandwich,
thick with your choice of meats, veggies and cheese.
We will adapt to any diet.
Even
if you are not on a plan or package, we are happy
to make you a lunch "To Go!"
If
you want something extra special, we can do that too!
We have been known to make romantic lunches with fruit,
cheeses, homemade bread, and wine, right down to the
checkered tablecloth. Or, we can build you a shore
lunch box, complete with everything you need to light
a fire on shore, and cook your catch (Don't worry,
we include hot dog makings just in case you get skunked!).
Theme
Dinner Events
One
of the best ways to enjoy the excellent cuisine at
Elysia Resort is at an eclectic and enjoyable theme
event.
For
example, August is our annual Hawaiian Luau; a Hawaiian
dinner menu with roast suckling pig on a spit, Hawaiian
music & a limbo contest. Fresh 'n' fruity Mai
Tai's or Elysia Tropical Kisses await you! Wear a
hula skirt if you dare!
