Chef Lukas
Lukas, a dedicated Red Seal Chef with extensive experience in prestigious venues like The Empress Hotel, Saveur Restaurant and the Union Club, in Victoria, discovered his culinary passion unexpectedly. Initially working at Boston Pizza as a young adult, it was his father's suggestion to try culinary school that ignited his interest. From the first day, he was hooked. His career was significantly shaped by his mentorship under Chef Boban Kovacheivich at Harrison Resort and Spa, a relationship that lasted 12 years and profoundly influenced his cooking style.
Lukas describes himself as a classically trained French Chef, with beef bourguignon epitomizing his culinary approach - versatile and timeless. He values the connection with nature in his work, sourcing ingredients from fishermen and ranchers to foraging in the forest. Lukas draws inspiration from his surroundings, enjoying off-roading in his jeep and experimenting with his favorite ingredients sourced locally from the Pacific North West.

Allergies & Dietary Restrictions
Please advise of any dietary requirements at the time of booking. We aim to make as many of our dishes free of common allergens such as dairy, gluten, eggs and nuts. Modifications to dishes can be made to accommodate for allergies and food preferences, although we cannot guarantee that any menu item will be completely allergen-free. Because the Treetop Tapas & Grill works from one menu, the Endless Tapas dining experience is not suitable for vegans. Instead, a vegan charcuterie platter is available to be enjoyed alongside family and friends dining in the restaurant.
