Schell: Cove welcomes de Montreuil

After taking time away from the restaurant scene to produce a retail line of his sought-after pizza shells, local chef Grant de Montreuil was feeling the pull back into the busy life of executive chef.

“I was missing it,” he says. “Food is my artistic outlet and I needed to satisfy that need.”

Serendipity intervened, and the temptation de Montreuil needed presented itself, landing him happily at the helm of The Bonfire Grill at The Cove Lakeside Resort in West Kelowna.

DeMontreuil’s new spin on the menu offers a wide range of toothsome creations to choose from. Nothing fancy though—DeMontreuil style focuses on “approachable, rustic, real food.”

DeMontreuil also likes to focus on local, seasonal ingredients when possible, and is looking forward to re-establishing relationships with his favourite local farmers and suppliers. It has always been important to him to “make sure the farmers are represented on his menu.”
