Experience Hospitality Style Dining
Imagine eating delicious restaurant-quality meals each day, lovingly prepared by a chef with over 25 years in the kitchen. Meet Chef George, our Director of Hospitality and Chef. He’s assembled a team of Red Seal Chefs and in-house bakers to bring our residents elevated dining, all day.
“I love working here at The Residence at Orchard’s Walk,” says Chef George. “My favourite part of my evenings is going out into our dining room and chatting with [our residents] about food and hearing about what they would like to see on our menus.”
Join our Resident Food Committee
Chef George works with our residents to learn more about their favourite meals. He never needs an excuse to talk about good food, including hearing about everything from your nostalgic favourites to that memorable seaside dinner you had while in Greece, celebrating your 20th wedding anniversary.
Residents are encouraged to share their input on the types of food they would like to see on upcoming menus by joining the Resident Food Committee.

Speaking of menus, residents are always raving about the variety of meal selections. If you’re looking for food in a variety of styles, cuisines, and ingredients, Chef George provides it, never compromising on quality and service.
