The GOODS from Fraîche

West Vancouver, BC | Carol Chow is thrilled to be joining West Vancouver’s Fraîche Restaurant as executive chef beginning April 24. A North Shore native, Carol has been working overseas for several years in London and Shanghai, as a private residence and consulting chef. Previous posts as executive chef at Gusto di Quattro, Teahouse in Stanley Park, Hart House, and the old Beachside Café round out her experience.

Carol considers herself a flavour forward chef; a philosophy that takes the guess work out of enjoying great food. Her exquisitely simple style will be evident in every dish she produces for the restaurant and its guests, at every occasion: dinner, lunch, and brunch. Carol is looking forward to making the menu at Fraîche a notch more approachable. A natural teacher, she is devoted to guiding the next generation of chefs and never misses an opportunity to pass on her knowledge and passion for food.

Fraiche’s interim chef, Jason Harris, will be moving on to The West Coast Fishing Club. Fraîche proprietors, Barbara Inglis and Paul Chalmers, thank him for his dedication to Fraîche and Beachside before that, wishing him well on his departure as planned.

Renowned as one of West Vancouver’s most celebrated dining experiences Fraîche Restaurant offers food that celebrates the best of the west coast, steadfast service and inspiring panoramic views. Fraîche recently received Gold for Best North Shore dining in the 20th Annual Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards (2012) and was named one of Canada’s Top Ten Best New Restaurants of 2008 by enRoute magazine.
