A FAMILAR FACE, IN A NEW SPACE

Chef Emily Butcher brings signature style to Bar Accanto.

Bar Accanto, the sophisticated and cozy companion to Nola, has quickly become a favorite destination for those seeking a vibrant dining experience since its opening in April 2023. Now, it’s poised to turn a new page with the arrival of a familiar face at its helm: Chef Emily Butcher.

Chef Butcher is stepping into her new role as Executive Chef at Bar Accanto and Burnley Place Hospitality. Her culinary approach, which draws deeply from her Canadian-Chinese upbringing, has already made waves. With this new adventure, she’s adding European and Mediterranean techniques to her repertoire, creating a menu that is both an evolution and a departure from the lively creations she’s known for at Nola.

Also listed as one of EnRoute Magazine’s Best Restaurants in Canada, Bar Accanto is the newest and most exciting addition to Burnley Place Hospitality's growing lineup.
