OUR FOOD PHILOSOPHY  

A Taste of the Kootenays
At Island Lake Lodge, we take you on a culinary adventure rooted in the land, the people, and the season. From foraged berries, to produce sourced from local farmers and ingredients hand-selected from neighbouring artisans, each dish is crafted with intention and a sense of place, reflecting the essence of the Kootenay region. 

Where Innovation Meets Tradition
Our kitchen is a space where collaboration, experimentation, and originality thrive. We celebrate tradition while embracing innovation, curating dishes that are both grounded and imaginative. Every plate is infused with passion and creativity, created not only to nourish but to inspire.

Carefully Curated, Refined Dining 
Our meals are designed to fuel, to invigorate, and to provide a culinary experience that complements the adventurous spirit of our guests. With a focus on sourcing organic ingredients and embracing the rhythm of the seasons, we bring the freshest flavours directly from the mountains to your plate, for an elevated dining experience that is intentional and distinctive.
