Timothy Charles

The executive chef of Newfoundland’s iconic Fogo Island Inn—a Relais & Châteaux property that is also No. 57 on Canada’s 100 Best—Timothy Charles began his career at another legendary island R&C property, the Wickaninnish Inn in Tofino. From there, he honed his craft on sailing ships through the Caribbean, South Pacific, and Antarctica before landing on Fogo Island just as the Inn was being built in 2012. He went on to become sous chef, rising through the ranks to his current role. Today, Chef Charles celebrates the wild, fished, farmed, foraged, and hunted bounty of this region, transforming it into dishes worth travelling across the country. @t_s_charles @fogoislandinn @sevenseasonsfarm
