Prices are per guest, in Canadian dollars, and depend on how many are eating. Where a menu has more than one band, read the row for your party size.

Menus, with the price per guest for each party size

In their own words

It all began in a kitchen in the Atlas Mountains, where the scents of cumin, coriander, and fresh mint filled the air. As a child, I watched my mother cook with patience and passion, shaping my approach to food.

In the Canadian Rockies, my style fused North African roots with local flavors to create warm, refined cuisine. My journey through kitchens like Fairmont and Le Fouquet’s deepened my respect for ingredients and pursuit of excellence.

Every plate I create tells a story — of heritage, journeys, and shared moments around the table.
