Heartwood Kitchen
Tofino’s loss is Ucluelet’s gain, and in this instance it comes in the form of Chef Ian Riddick, the new owner/operator of the Heartwood Kitchen. Chef Riddick is the former executive chef at Delta Hotels and Resorts in Kananaskis in Alberta and more recently the Long Beach Lodge Resort in Tofino. He was instrumental in all aspects of the kitchen, including the breakfast to dinner service in the great room and the multi-functional catering requirements that took place on a daily basis. Chef Riddick is hands-on and is absolute in his commitment to meeting and exceeding the wishes of his guests.
Heartwood Kitchen is located in the old and very quaint Matterson House on Peninsula Road, which has been remodeled to offer a modern, clean take on the family style dining experience. Guests are encouraged to relax and enjoy the thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented food as they soak in the ambiance of small town hospitality.
Dinner is presented Tuesday to Sunday from 5.00pm to 9.00pm with additional brunch on Thursday to Sunday, starting at 9.00am. Please check website for seasonal changes.
Great food and quality service with a fine locally crafted beer or glass of your favorite wine to accompany your choices is what Heartwood Kitchen is all about. We look forward to seeing you. Reservations are highly recommended.
