We believe high quality ingredients are integral to great food preparation and presentation. That’s why we source them from local, Canadian producers, greenhouse growers and dedicated farmers that meet our high standards. Our values are rooted in a culture of culinary freedom that empowers our team to use the freshest ingredients and cook great meals from scratch, not from pre-made packaged goods or cans. Our blend of local sourcing, culinary craftsmanship, and inherently healthy menu choices gives our guests confidence in choosing their unique, daily meal selections.

Our Chefs just can’t help but inspire our guests with food that’s worth staying for. 

Dana is unlike any other food service provider in the Canadian marketplace. Creating and serving food that we prepare from scratch, using fresh ingredients we source from Canadian farms and suppliers has always been our singular passion
