Five years.
Five years of seeing Tetsu’s name on the Michelin Guide Vancouver list, and last night, we found ourselves once again in a room filled with the people who make this city’s dining scene so special.
But perhaps the most beautiful part of this journey has never been the list itself.
It is the faces behind it.
The chefs whose tables we have shared. The restaurateurs we have come to know. The friends and fellow industry members who have, in turn, found their way to our counter at Tetsu.
There is something special about watching a dining community grow together, one table, one conversation, one plate at a time.
To still be here, five years on, surrounded by people we admire and a community we are proud to be part of, is a privilege we never take for granted.
Thank you, Michelin Guide, for another year, and for giving us another reason to pause, look around, and appreciate how far we have come.
