Wellness Brunch | Chef Alana Maas

A vibrant lakeside morning shaped by bold flavour and thoughtful cooking.

Chef Alana Maas brings her confident, flavour-forward approach to this four-course wellness brunch on the shores of Alta Lake. An award-winning chef and winner of Chopped Canada, Alana has led some of Vancouver’s most respected kitchens, including Cru Restaurant and The Hart House, building a reputation for both her technical precision and her dynamic, engaging presence in the kitchen.

With roots in a deeply food-centric upbringing and formal training from Dubrulle Culinary School, Alana’s style blends refined technique with an instinctive, intuitive approach to ingredients. Her passion for mentorship and leadership, including her role with Les Dames d’Escoffier Vancouver, comes through naturally as she shares her perspective and insights throughout the experience.

Set against the calm of the lake, this intimate brunch unfolds course by course, each dish designed to feel nourishing, balanced, and full of character. Guests are invited to engage with the process or simply settle into the setting, enjoying a meal that reflects both the season and Alana’s bold culinary voice.

This is a morning that brings energy and ease together, grounded in good food and shared experience.

Bright flavours, open air, and a table worth gathering around.
