Red Tree Lodge and Restaurant welcomes Debra Brygadyr Cook to its kitchen. Debra is a local of the Elk Valley having worked in many of its restaurants in the past years in various positions, most recently as Head Chef of Mojo Risin. Debra will be continuing her Head Chef role in the Red Tree Restaurant utilizing her expertise to put her own Fernie flare on the restaurant’s International fare.

NONSTOP Ski & Snowboard, a family operated British company specializing in ski/snowboard instructor and improvement programs in Fernie purchased the Lodge in May 2007. The hotel and restaurant underwent an extensive refurbishment. The restaurant has been in operation since December 2007 and is quickly becoming a popular dining spot with locals and visitors for family dining, friendly get-togethers, meetings, parties and weddings.

“We are very excited to have Debra join our team as Head Chef. Her reputation as a great chef precedes her in the Fernie area. Having had the pleasure of tasting the great food she has produced at Mojo Risin, Lizard Creek Lodge and The Wood I know she will bring the Red Tree Lodge menu to the next level,” says Dave Richards, Director of Canadian Operations, NONSTOP Adventures.

Guests will experience dishes in the “spirit of the 100 mile diet”. Served in a relaxed, friendly Fernie atmosphere, the goal is to provide excellent quality food at an affordable price while utilizing as many local flavors as possible. Debra has reinvented the menu with her own personal spin and the mouth-watering dishes will be available July 1. Highlights of the new menu include a larger breakfast selection that will be served 7:30 a.m. daily as of July 5. The delectable tapas menu will be appealing to everyone with a large variety of selections great for sharing. Come try it out on the NEW patio with a beverage and a friend!!

“I am excited to continue my career at the Red Tree Lodge and look forward to seeing all my favorite people,” comments Debra.

The Restaurant is open year round for breakfast, lunch, dinner and tapas daily from 7:30 am to 11 pm. The hotel guestrooms are now in full operation for the summer season.
