On this edition of 害羞草研究所楾oday in BC害羞草研究所�, 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.

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

害羞草研究所淭here害羞草研究所檚 all sorts of different ideas about what Canadian food is,害羞草研究所� said Barr. 害羞草研究所淏ut I think where I害羞草研究所檝e landed with it is we have all these cultural influences for sure, which is great because there害羞草研究所檚 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.害羞草研究所�

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.
