The GOODS from Painted Boat

Sunshine Coast | Re-opening May 1, 2014 with Head Chef Michael Riley at the helm, The Restaurant at Painted Boat Resort Spa & Marina’s menu will highlight the abundance of fresh ingredients available on the Sunshine Coast and use locally sourced Ocean Wise fish and seafood. Riley has skillfully created a West Coast Pacific Rim style menu that is elegant, refined and delightfully surprising.

We source many of our ingredients from local purveyors on the Sunshine Coast or on our own,” says Ryan Schmidt, Manager at Painted Boat. “This includes organic produce from Henry Reed Organics farm, Three Sisters Organic Farm, and Green Room Organics Farm located in Gibsons, BC, sturgeon caviar and meat from Northern Divine in Sechelt, BC, organic sable fish from Totems Farm in Jervis Inlet, BC, as well as local wild mushrooms and sea asparagus foraged by Chef Riley.”

Complementing the regional menu is our gold medal winning wine list from the Vancouver International Wine Awards. Handpicked by Canadian Rocky Mountain Resorts Wine Director, Brad Royale, the wine menu has been selected from across the globe in hopes of providing a well-rounded selection of unique offerings. The wine menu includes some older vintages, rare varietals and interesting taste profiles.

Boasting a distinctly modern, coastal feel, 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 breathtaking views from inside the dining room or on the patio deck.

The Restaurant will re-open on May 1, 2014 for dinner from 5 p.m. to close, Wednesday to Sunday. And starting May 19, 2014, The Restaurant will open seven days a week for dinner as well as lunch on the weekends. Full summer hours – 11 a.m. to close – will take effect from July 1 to September 3, 2014. Reservations can be made by phoning the restaurant at 604-883-3000 or [email protected].
