Explore the dinner menu

Two chefs. Their own garden.

The season starts
in Saanich.

Chefs Louise Lu and Milton Rebello grow produce at Liv’s Edible Gardens. What grows there helps shape the menus in their South Oak Bay kitchen.

It’s the thinking behind Liv: start with the ingredients, follow the season, and give people a welcoming place to enjoy them.
