Why they're an Icon
Executive chef: Patrick Hennessy
MICHELIN 1 Star2024- MICHELIN 1 Star2023
From the OpenTable editors: The influence of chef Patrick Hennessy’s stints at prestigious kitchens, including New York's Eleven Madison Park, shines through in Barbara’s Michelin-starred tasting menu. An open kitchen gives diners a front-row view of the magic, as Hennessy transforms local ingredients into dishes like stracciatella with smoked couscous. The B.C.-centric wine list is just as locally rooted.
