Nestled on Stanley Park’s Ferguson Point for 30 years, The Teahouse is going back to the tradition that made them famous, and they’re looking for your memories. On May 14th, at a gala event in the park to celebrate their 30th anniversary, The Teahouse will officially drop “Sequoia Grill” from its title and revert back to its original name. To help re-launch one of Stanley Park’s main attractions, Vancouverites are invited to share their memories of the Teahouse for a chance to join in the May 14th festivities and to win one of three exciting vacations.

Janet McGuire, new Teahouse Manager and past owner of the Beachside Café says, “We’re going back to the tradition that set the Teahouse apart from the rest. The Teahouse has become such a landmark in this city because of the people who have experienced so many wonderful occasions here. Countless engagements, anniversary celebrations – you name it, it has probably happened here.” General Manager, Mona Trivedi agrees, “We want to recognize the people who have allowed us to be a part of the big moments in their lives.”

Recently joining the Teahouse is Executive Chef, Carol Chow. Chow’s career began with mentor John Bishop. She then began a ten-year stint with Janet McGuire at her Beachside Café in West Vancouver before six years as Executive Chef of the Hart House. Chow says, “My passion for fine cooking stems from the appreciation of satisfied diners. That’s what I love about the opportunity to cook at the Teahouse. It’s all about giving the people who dine here an unforgettable experience. They have, after all, made this restaurant what it is today. This is a beautiful spot and for 30 years it has been the backdrop to some very memorable events.”

With operations beginning in 1979, the Teahouse boasts fresh local ingredients and classic West Coast cuisine, resulting in comfortable, contemporary dining… as well as the best sunset view in the city.
