Advisory Board Member: Chef Peter George

Peter George grew up in Southern Ontario's farming heartland and credits this for his commitment to fresh market food and locally grown produce. George is a graduate of George Brown College, Toronto and according to him, what he sees when he looks out from his kitchen window in the sky is “his immediate shopping area”. He commissions custom grown herbs, produce and other ingredients from local farmers and vintners.

For more than 12 years, he has been leading the culinary team at the award-winning 360 The Restaurant at the CN Tower, one of Toronto's finest dining experiences, located at the top of the world's tallest building and Canada's Wonder of the World.

As part of a greening project, there is an extensive organic herb garden on CN Tower grounds. In season the garden produces over two dozen varieties of annual and perennial herbs as well as edible flowers and an assortment of vegetables. George harvests daily while in season to supplement 360's kitchen. Chef George has introduced an innovative new menu for 360, incorporating his own signature — the roots of cooking with a modern flair.

The collective efforts of Chef George and his team have been recognized with several international awards, including DiRoNA (Distinguished Restaurants of North America), a Best of Award of Excellence from the Wine Spectator magazine and WHERE Magazine's Most Romantic Restaurant.

360 Restaurant is a sought after location for entertaining as are the various unique event spaces at the CN Tower thanks to Peter George and his team who ensure the quality of the culinary experience at Toronto's ultimate event venue for 2 to up to 2,000.
