From land to sea Café Brio's menu focuses on regional products. Flavour pairing comes naturally when using products that come from the same region. Sauces are often kept simple or light as not to mask the natural flavours found in our local quality ingredients. As a member of the ICC I am committed to supporting local farms and products. We have had strong ties with the organic farming community from day one. I am lucky to be able to sit down with Tina Fraser and help plan crops for the following year so that we receive the best possible products in their peak season. Other farms are following suit so that we have strong local farm resources almost year round. Beyond organics my commitment is to BC farms first for produce. We are also fortunate to be so close to the Pacific Ocean. Local varieties of wild seafood are ordered on a daily basis and freshness is a given as sometimes these fish are literally only hours out of the water. We seldom stray from local varieties as there is fresh fish available year round off the waters of Vancouver Island. All of Café Brio's poultry products come from Lyle and Fiona Young at Cowichan Bay Farms. In 2001 they received the BC SPCA's award for their humane treatment of livestock. Beyond poultry the Youngs are also dedicated to preserving rare breeds of livestock. I am a strong believer in supporting and promoting quality Canadian products. Therefore all of our beef is Alberta beef graded AAA or better. With such a strong bounty of fresh local products and a professional kitchen staff we choose to make everything on our menu from scratch. In that manner we are able to ensure the products are handled properly. Our menu is reprinted daily so that we are able to serve the best possible products in their freshest form. From the farms to our kitchen to your plate, enjoy!
