It is with regret that OPUS Hotel Vancouver’s General Manager, Nicholas Gandossi, announces the departure of Don Letendre, Executive Chef of OPUS Hotel Vancouver, Elixir Bistro and OPUS Bar. A member of the opening team, Letendre has been with the company for eight years and has made many valuable contributions to its success.

“From the beginning, Don was extremely passionate about the Elixir and OPUS Bar brands, which clearly showed through his professionalism and dedication” says OPUS Vancouver General Manager Nicholas Gandossi. His focus and determination were building blocks for Elixir’s early successes, which allowed the business to grow in other areas, most notably in OPUS Catering. We certainly will miss his leadership and humour, which we have all seen, and come to understand over the past eight years.”
