The Cress Story
Cress Restaurant, a business dedicated to improving our food system, through sustainable practices, local sources, and refined flavours. The cornerstone at Cress is seasonally bold flavours, with a dynamic and elegant wine menu that showcases the food. Cress combines food & wine with professional service that makes dining a truly wonderful indulgence, so guests can “celebrate our land and relax in our community”.
This has led to Cress’ devotion to support local food charities, initiate a program to decrease food waste, and champion the sustainability movement. Cress has relationships with where their food comes from, with the individuals who are growing them: the farmers, the fishermen, the cattlemen. Sustainability rests on the principle that we must meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations.
