Meet Chef Prasad Chavan

A culinary master hailing from Mumbai, India — where growing up near the ocean gave him a lifelong love of seafood and spice. He earned a Bachelor's degree in Hotel Management and Tourism from Mumbai University, then cooked at JW Marriott in India and aboard Royal Caribbean cruise lines.

Prasad immigrated to Canada in 2011, honing his craft at Moxies, Fairmount Park Lodge, The Hotel Saskatchewan, Executive Royal Hotel Regina, and Hecla Resort. In 2019 he took the helm as executive chef at Kelowna's Best Western (97th Street Pub) — where he discovered a love of wine that led him to the cellar door, including Peak Cellars. Today he is chef at the Okanagan Golf Course.

Now based in Lake Country, Chef Prasad brings Mumbai spice to the Okanagan harvest: Indian and global menus built on local ingredients, for private dinners, weddings, and events of every kind. Vegetarian, vegan, halal, and gluten-free guests are always considered, never an afterthought.
