Born in Victoria, British Columbia alongside the Pacific
Ocean, Chef Eugene Cheng has always felt that salt water flows through his veins. He launched his culinary career as a finalist of MasterChef Canada Season 5. The judges critiqued his food, calling it “pure genius” and called Eugene “one of the most creative home cooks we’ve ever seen in all five seasons."
 

Inspired by the world at large, Eugene is on a culinary
mission to bond people through experiencing food in
unique and innovative ways. Having travelled to 77 plus
countries, Eugene brings a varied arsenal of culture,
flavour and technique back to his Pacific Northwest style
of cuisine. Eugene Cheng is currently working with & consulting onboard mega yachts. 

During his free time, Eugene curate’s exclusive pop-up & private dining experiences throughout Vancouver.

Chef's Perspective:

"Within each dish I try to accomplish two things:

1)highlight local and sustainable treasures which are in-season

2)transcend the typical dining expectations by presenting food as an experience that will stimulate and excite you

.
Growing up on Vancouver Island and living beside the
Pacific Ocean my entire life, seafood has always played
a significant role in my creations. I’m proud of the local
ingredients found in our region, so I do my best to promote and honor them."
