One of Canada’s most visionary chefs, Darren MacLean brings his signature blend of artistry and storytelling to EIGHT. Known globally from Netflix’s The Final Table, he is passionate about redefining Canadian cuisine through a lens of sustainability, culture, and connection. At EIGHT, MacLean doesn’t just serve food — he guides guests through a sensory journey that is both bold and deeply rooted in the land he calls home.

EIGHT explores what Canadian cuisine truly means — beyond ingredients, beyond borders. The menu reflects a dynamic tapestry of influences, from Indigenous foodways to immigrant culinary traditions. Every dish tells a story of place, movement, and memory, challenging the idea of a singular Canadian flavor.

With just eight seats, EIGHT offers a rare opportunity to connect directly with Chef Darren MacLean in a fully interactive setting. Hidden behind NUPO, the experience feels like a secret supper — intimate, theatrical, and deeply personal. Reservations are extremely limited and curated nightly, with no accommodations for dietary restrictions to preserve the integrity of the culinary vision.
