    At Nupo, the à la carte menu is executed with the meticulous precision and detail that’s characteristic of world-class establishments.

    For chef Darren MacLean, Nupo is about honouring his mother’s influence on his cooking (her maiden name, Nuponnen, inspired the restaurant’s name). Nupo is an ode to her love of plants and vegan food and factors heavily into the plant-based and fish-forward menu.

    A night at Eight is welcoming, interactive and educational, while also being undeniably delicious.

    With eight seats, up to 20 courses, a high-profile chef, a $300+ price tag and a race to snag reservations as they’re released throughout the year, it would be easy to dismiss Eight as unattainable. But, a night at chef Darren MacLean’s table is welcoming, interactive and educational, while also being undeniably delicious.
