For Executive Chef Kristian Eligh, every dish begins with the ingredients, the season, and the connection to Vancouver Island’s land and sea.

After cooking in some of North America’s most acclaimed kitchens, Chef Kristian returned home to Victoria with a vision: to create a restaurant that celebrates the extraordinary bounty of British Columbia through intentional cooking, genuine hospitality, and a deep respect for the people behind every ingredient.

Hear him share the philosophy behind Marilena and what continues to inspire him every day.
