Chef Frederic Royer
Private Chef In Whistler
Get to know me better
Between refined high end dining and classic European cuisine, I cook to achieve impeccable standards from traditional cuisine
I have lived in Whistler for over eight years where I have had the pleasure of working in first class food establishments. I am a Red Seal chef and have about 15 years of professional cooking experience through steakhouse, fine dining, hotels and much more. One of my last position was Chef de Cuisine at the Trattoria di Umberto where I had the opportunity to further develop my skills and creativity with daily creation and menu development. Then I pursued my education through the WSET courses (level 3 certification) and by taking a bartending position in the front of the house of the Bearfoot Bistro where I learned proper customer service, to take care, get to know the customer and be his guide through their dining experience. I acquired knowledge on fine wines, which became a primary focus for me, as well as spirits and cocktails. My passion doesn't only reside in the food but in all dining aspect, there is always more to discover and apply.

More about me
For me, cooking is...
art that can be eaten
I learned to cook at...
The hotel school of Saint Adèle in Quebec, but every restaurant I worked in has thought me much and more
A cooking secret...
Based on quality ingredients, I work with only the best suppliers in the region and I am inspired with traditional dishes from all over the world
