Timber Shuswap

“Timber!” is normally a rally cry to get out of harm’s way, but in the Shuswap, it’s a rally cry to make your way to the latest, and arguably greatest, recent addition to the food scene in this region.

Chef Chris Whittaker of Vancouver’s Forage restaurant fame, opened Timber Shuswap in Blind Bay in July of 2022, a farm to table restaurant featuring upscale Canadian cuisine. Whittaker was inducted into the BC Restaurant Hall of Fame in 2015 and Forage was listed as one of Canada’s 100 best restaurants. He moved to the Shuswap in 2018 taking on the role of executive chef at the Little Shuswap Lake Band's Quaaout Lodge.

With appreciation for the community and passion for local farmers, ranchers, producers, wineries and breweries, the young family’s commitment to feature the very best the Shuswap has been embraced by the locals, as in, if you’re headed to the region, be sure to grab a reservation ahead of time.
