The GOODS from Painted Boat

Sunshine Coast | Re-opened on May 1 with new Head Chef Marcus Bugoy at the helm, The Restaurant at Painted Boat Resort Spa & Marina is painting palates with flavor. Already known for its creative coastal cuisine at The Restaurant, Bugoy has skillfully paired his innovative fervor for modern cooking techniques with his ability to create delectable French inspired dishes in developing a new menu. Whet your appetite with Ocean Wise coastal delights such as Albacore Tuna “Crudo” garnished with squid ink aioli, an egg yolk emulsion, chives and radish or a Tian of Dungeness Crab featuring avocado, cucumber and local petit greens drizzled in a lemon mustard emulsion. Savour delectable Lobster Tortellini served amidst fava beans, a warm tarragon vinaigrette and lobster, but save room for a refreshing dessert.

“Bugoy is a gold medal contender in the culinary scene,” says Ryan Schmidt, General Manager at Painted Boat Resort Spa & Marina. “We are very lucky to have him join our team to showcase the creative coastal cuisine that we pride our self on at The Restaurant.”

Having cooked for the likes of George W. Bush and Jean Chretien when the G8 Summit came to Kananaskis, AB, as well as Bob Costas, Matt Lauer and some of the Olympic athletes during the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, B.C., as well as finishing second in the Canadian Culinary Federation’s competition to determine who would be part of the Canadian team for a 2011 competition – Bugoy is a star on the international culinary scene.

A feast for your eyes as well as your stomach – The Restaurant, located in Madeira Park on the Sunshine Coast – is perched directly behind the marina with unobstructed views of the harbour. Open glass doors surround the dining area and allow guests to enjoy the breathtaking views from inside the dining room or on the patio deck.
