Introducing Adam Jordan as our Chef de Cuisine // Adam grew up in Dublin & Ontario before moving to Vancouver in 2018.  His first experience cooking, was at a canteen in high school where he started as a dish washer.  He really enjoyed the pressure of working in a kitchen as well as making guests happy with the food that he made.  He saw how much passion and drive it took to succeed, and decided to dive in to the industry head first.

Adam worked under Chef Finbarr Higgins at the 5-star hotel, The K Club in Dublin, The Greenhouse with Chef Mickael Viljanen, and Chapter One, another Michelin star restaurant with Chef Ross Lewis.  Each endeavour helped Adam to learn the most about technique, fresh produce and operating at a high standard.

Adam thrives working closely with Chef Mike Robbins as they creates the weekly changing Tasting Menu at AnnaLena.  He enjoys being able to change the script as new items become available throughout the season from local farmers and suppliers.

Congratulations Adam!
