Salzburg born Chef Vanessa von Schellwitz combines her talent with salmon recipes  with tasty local ingredients, Omega 3 Free run eggs, wild caught cold smoked sockeye salmon, local Yukon Gold potatoes sautéed in butter, olive oil and garlic butter and topped with Vanessa’s own Herbes de Provence. The lox omelette uses a cream cheese base and eggs are whipped to provide a fluffy consistency. The eggs themselves come from the happy, happy chickens at one of several local suppliers from the pastoral settings of Saanich.

Our guests love our seafood omelettes and lox omelette and other creative breakfast dishes.
