Chef Garrett Blundell has been trained in French cuisine and worked in multiple restaurants serving these types of dishes over the years.

In the past, Blundell has cooked for restaurants around the world, including one Michelin-starred restaurant and a few French-inspired restaurants throughout B.C.

Now, he is serving up some delicious dishes with his expertise and skill as an executive chef at The Victor in Vancouver.
