On this edition of sa国际传媒楾oday in BCsa国际传媒�, host Peter McCully chats with Warren Barr and Lily Verney-Downey of Pluvio Restaurant in Ucluelet.

TripAdvisor recently unveiled its Best of the Best Awards for 2022 and Pluvio Restaurant and Rooms topped the Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Canada category.

The couple opened the intimate 24-seat culinary business in 2019.

Itsa国际传媒檚 pretty amazing to be able to impact people that much through a restaurant. Itsa国际传媒檚 awesome.sa国际传媒�

Chef Warren Barr was asked about the movement today to create as many items and ingredients on the menu as possible.

sa国际传媒淭heresa国际传媒檚 all sorts of different ideas about what Canadian food is,sa国际传媒� said Barr. sa国际传媒淏ut I think where Isa国际传媒檝e landed with it is we have all these cultural influences for sure, which is great because theresa国际传媒檚 just so much to inspire us and for us to learn from and so many sort of resources are drawn as far as culinary inspiration goes. Executing these influences but keeping the product domestic, I think is what makes that interesting.sa国际传媒�

Because the restaurant is fairly small, Pluvio changes the menus fluidly in response to what ingredients are available.

Verney-Downey says they are fortunate to have a wonderful sommelier on staff and in 2020 made a wine specifically for Pluvio with Avril wineries.
