I have had the privilege of working with Chef Kyle and it has been inspiring to watch him cook a variety of beautiful dishes. He demonstrates an incredible passion while also prioritising sustainability which is very important in this day and age. Not only are the meals super flavourful but also leave a positive impact on the environment, we need more chefs like Kyle!! Would definitely recommend to anyone, thank you Kyle!

Had an amazing experience at Green Artichoke. The private dining service was incredible, fine dining quality food with exceptional service. Every dish had a gourmet feel with a comforting intimate explanation from the chef. Super fresh local ingredients, highly recommend.

Kyle has a passion for the art of food and cooking. I was fortunate to be served a well-prepared, delectable meal of 4 courses that included interesting ingredients and flavour combinations I’d never experienced before. Each course was presented with an eye to detail from placement to garnish, enhancing the aesthetic of the dish. I especially enjoyed the oysters plated on rocks under a glass dome, infused with applewood smoke. The smoky applewood taste combined with the plump, silky oysters was outstanding. I appreciate Kyle’s emphasis on using locally-sourced ingredients and sustainable cooking practices. I highly recommend Kyle’s services! Whether you hire him for catering or cooking lessons, you won’t be disappointed!

Had a fantastic experience recently at a long table dinner with Chef Kyle. His knowledge of the unique food culture of Vancouver Island, combined with his ability to work with and bring out the best in locally-sourced foods, make for a dining experience like no other. Already thinking of events I’d like him to cater.

I had the pleasure of photographing an event for Green Artichoke. Kyle was great to work with, very professional and accommodating. His food is a photographers dream and tasted every bit as good as it looked. I look forward to working together again in the future.

I had the opportunity to attend a long table dinner hosted by Green Artichoke catering. There’s so many great things to mention:1. They brought us through not just the what (we were eating), but the why as well. For example the first course was an oyster dish and the chef discussed how they were using for shellfish due to its sustainability.2. Green artichoke puts together super welcoming atmosphere. I felt super comfortable despite not knowing anyone else.3. Obviously the food was great! Won’t get into specifics, but let’s just say the best oyster I’ve ever had, a true western Canadian falafel, beef three ways and the most delicate soufflé. It was awesome.

Chef Kyle created an incredible dinning experience. We were so amazed at his knowledge of locally sourced food and the 5 course tasting menu showcased that.I will recommend to anyone looking for something away from the normal restaurant experience to book with the Green Artichoke.
