Featured Chef: Michael Blackie, Perspectives Restaurant |
 February 24, 2004. Overlooking the eighth green of the exclusive Marshes Golf Course and nestled inside Brookstreet Hotel, Perspectives Restaurant opened in Ottawa in June of 2003. After only three months of operation, Perspectives was awarded the coveted four-diamond rating from CAA/AAA. Executive Chef Michael Blackie credits his staff for helping him raise the bar to make the restaurant a spectacular success and not your typical hotel eatery. Chef Blackie was born in Leicestershire, England, and raised in Montreal. Following his apprenticeship, he worked as chef with Jamie Kennedy at the Founders Club, a private food establishment at Toronto's Sky Dome. Mr. Blackie also held positions as Sous-Chef at Toronto's Westin Harbour Castle, Executive Chef at the Pierre Marques in Mexico, Executive Sous-Chef at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong. Prior to joining Perspectives, Chef Blackie was the Executive Chef at the Oberoi in Bali, Indonesia-an exclusive five-star facility, voted the #1 boutique resort in 2002 for commitment to quality and guest services by Leading Hotels of the World. Perspectives Restaurant's eclectic menu offers something for everyone and many Asian dishes have been inspired by Chef Blackie's time in both Bali and Hong Kong. Chef Blackie is proud to support local creators of quality ingredients, including Ace Bakery. PERSPECTIVES RESTAURANT  Send this article to a friend. previous article | next article  |
