KEITH PEARS

A CHEF'S LOVE OF SHARING

A chef shaped by family, driven by curiosity,
and inspired by the simple pleasure of bringing people together.

At Pears, Keith brings his culinary journey back to the table. Asian influences meet a global perspective, with inventive dishes designed to be passed around, discovered together, and enjoyed in good company.

It is a restaurant built on a familiar idea: some of our best moments happen over a meal with friends and family.

KEITH PEARS,
A STORY ROOTED IN FAMILY

Keith's inspiration to cook began with his grandmother and mother. Long before professional kitchens and international competitions, family showed him how food could bring people closer.

Growing up in Vancouver in a family of chefs, he spent his childhood around his grandparents' café. The energy of the kitchen and the generosity of a shared meal became part of the way he saw hospitality.

Pears carries that feeling forward. It is a place to make time for one another, to order something for the table, and to stay for one more conversation.

KEITH PEARS,
A CUISINE MADE TO CONNECT

For Keith, cooking is a balance of craft and curiosity. Familiar flavours become a starting point for something unexpected, with Asian influences woven through a globally inspired menu.

The idea of sharing sits at the centre of Pears. A dish passed from one person to the next gives everyone a chance to discover a new flavour, compare a favourite bite, and enjoy the experience together.

Thoughtful technique and playful ideas meet a generous spirit. The result is food that invites people in, with a sense of occasion that feels just as right for an evening with friends as a family celebration.
