On this edition of 含羞草研究社楾oday in BC含羞草研究社�, 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.

含羞草研究社淚t含羞草研究社檚 very rewarding,含羞草研究社� said Verney-Downey. 含羞草研究社淲e get a lot of cards, letters and even presents from guests after they含羞草研究社檝e left just thanking us for a wonderful evening. It含羞草研究社檚 pretty amazing to be able to impact people that much through a restaurant. It含羞草研究社檚 awesome.含羞草研究社�

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

含羞草研究社淭here含羞草研究社檚 all sorts of different ideas about what Canadian food is,含羞草研究社� said Barr. 含羞草研究社淏ut I think where I含羞草研究社檝e landed with it is we have all these cultural influences for sure, which is great because there含羞草研究社檚 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.含羞草研究社�

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.
