Moments Hospitality Collective has officially launched in British Columbia.
Rooted in the province’s diverse and vibrant communities, the six-strong restaurant group comprises some of BC’s most beloved dining destinations; Water Street Cafe, 2nd Floor Gastown, Qualicum Beach Cafe, Nanoose Bay Cafe, Deez Bar and Grill, and the soon-to-open Greenview Taphouse in Nanoose Bay, said the Collective in a news release.
“Moments Hospitality Collective is our love letter to BC.,” said founding partner and director of operations Eli Brennan. “Each restaurant is integral to a place we call home, and a community we’re proud to be a part of. We’re not just creating places to eat, we’re creating spaces to be welcomed, to celebrate and to belong.”
Founded by longtime leaders in the Vancouver and Vancouver Island hospitality scene, Moments Hospitality Collective (MHC) is focused on offering unique yet inclusive dining experiences, entwined by a shared belief that hospitality should be heartfelt and that restaurants should feel like home. “Moments” reflects the company’s ethos; to provide meaningful, shared experiences that create lasting memories, it said.
Before ownership, Founding Partner and Director of Operations, Eli Brennan, worked with some of Vancouver’s most prominent restaurants including Cardero’s and The Teahouse in Stanley Park, alongside Founding Partner and Culinary Director Chef Alan Tse.
Also leading the kitchens as Culinary Director for Water St. Cafe, 2nd Floor Gastown and Qualicum Beach Cafe, Tse brings decades of experience and a reputation for excellence, where his dishes balance consistency with creativity and celebrate the best of BC’s regional ingredients. MHC’s two Operating Partners are Sandy Grant and Todd Bright, Operating Partner and General Manager of Water St. Cafe and 2nd Floor Gastown, and Operating Partner and Vancouver Island Regional Chef of Qualicum Beach Cafe, Nanoose Bay Cafe, and Deez Bar and Grill respectively.
The team also comprises Marketing and Communications Manager, Kaitlyn Brennan, and Nanoose Bay Area Operations Manager, Lynsee Yee. Together, they celebrate the best of British Columbia; its places, its people, and the stories that unfold when they come together around a table.
