About the Chefs
Matthew and Wendy Jamieson arrived in Victoria from southern Ontario after running their very successful restaurant, The Woodside, for 10 years.
Matthew grew up in New Canaan, Connecticut, helping at his grandfather's hotel. He trained in Paris at La Varenne Culinary Institute and went on to own three successful restaurants in the Toronto area, as well as being chef trainer at Ryerson University.
Wendy graduated from the University of Guelph with a Bachelor of Commerce in Hotel and Food Administration with Honours and recently attended Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts Institute in Ottawa, studying Pastry and Cuisine.
Together they bring their years of great experience, highly trained skills and love of good food to share with the West Coast. Matthew specializes in seafood and has a love for boating and jazz music. Wendy specializes in pastry and loves gardening and collecting cookbooks.
