Yaletown’s celebrated OPUS Vancouver Hotel and Elixir Bistro are delighted to announce the arrival of Acting Executive Chef Felix Turianskyj.
With over 15 years experience in the culinary world, Turianskyj comes from within the OPUS Hotel Group family. The native Montrealer garnered much acclaim while serving as both Executive Chef and General Manager of KOKO Restaurant + Bar at OPUS Montreal. Chef Turianskyj’s vision and passion for excellence lead the way in executing a menu that perfectly emulated KOKO’s cosmopolitan, sophisticated environment.
Turianskyj’s career began with his studies at the Institut de Tourisme et d’Hôtellerie du Québec. He then took on the role of sous-Chef at the Manoir des Érables, and was later appointed Chef for the Délégation du Québec in New York. Turianskyj then returned to Québec, where he further demonstrated his talents at chic Mont-Tremblant restaurant Aux Truffes.
Bearing Taiwanese, French and Ukranian ancestry, Chef Turianskyj grew up surrounded by global culinary influences. His passion for travel and culture took him to the Sheraton Club des Pins in Algiers, Algeria, the deserts of Qatar at the Intercontinental in Doha, and to Q’BA, New Delhi’s pre-eminent dining establishment. He has acquired a wealth of experience, from catering expansive events in the desert to planning formal dinners honouring political dignitaries, heads of state and royalty; he is ideally poised to lead OPUS Vancouver’s culinary team and will be responsible for OPUS Bar, Elixir Bistro and OPUS Catering.
