ANTHONY MARZO

Executive Chef

Think globally, eat locally is Executive Chef Anthony Marzo’s motto as he brings his European culinary style to hyper-local cuisine in ARC.

Tony has a Diploma from Dubrulle French Culinary Institute and his national Red Seal. He completed the Canadian Apprenticeship program where he received the Third Year Apprentice of the Year scholarship and was the winner of the CFCC Jr. Chef Blackbox competition.

After his studies Tony traveled extensively through Europe, immersing himself in local cultures and food before settling in London where he spent two years honing his skills at three different Michelin starred restaurants: Rhodes 24, Club Gascon and Wild Honey.

Since returning to British Columbia, he has worked at two of Canada’s top Relais & Chateaux Diamond studded hotels: The Wickaninnish Inn and Langdon Hall, Country House Hotel. Just prior to joining ARC as Executive Restaurant Chef, Tony owned the successful Vancouver restaurant Kessel & March.
