Meet the team.

  • After graduating from the Culinary Arts program at SAIT at the age of 21, Jonah worked his way up to Chef de Cuisine in some of Calgary’s busiest restaurants. Most notably, Alloy under Chef Rogelio Herrera.

    In 2011, he staged under Chef Gregory Short at the famed Michelin-starred Masa's in San Francisco. There, he began to appreciate the bounty of California cuisine and how mindful it was to seasonality; in turn, he fell in love with cooking all over again.

    Jonah now finds himself in Vancouver as Chef and Owner of the brand-new Bar Bravo serving globally sourced sustainable seafood, focusing on a dry-aged fish program and oyster bar all with an open kitchen in the heart of the dining room.

    When he is not at work he can be found at a local park spending time with his wife and two kids.

  • Meet Jon, partner and operator of Bar Bravo. 

    The dream of opening a seafood focused restaurant has been nearly a decade in the making and with the help of some great partners and friends, Bar Bravo has found its home in the Fraserhood area of Vancouver.

    Having been born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia, amazing seafood and boisterous hospitality was always in abundance. He honed his craft shucking oysters at the likes of Rodneys Oyster House Vancouver & Toronto, with stints at the Drake Hotel Toronto and Trans Am (RIP) along the way. 

    You can always find Jon chatting up everyone who walks through the doors of Bravo, endlessly ribbing his staff and sharing his love of oysters with all who will listen. 

  • Meet Megan, our mucho talented Sous Chef here at Bar Bravo. 

    Megan did her culinary schooling at Vancouver Island University. After she put the books down, she began sharpening her knives at such establishments as Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, Hawksworth, Black & Blue before walking through our doors. 

    She's our anchor in our kitchen, a heavy metal enthusiast, a connoisseur of fine cats and an all around amazing human. Her infectious laugh, personality and patience (mostly for Chef Jonah’s dad jokes) are unmatched and we’re beyond lucky to have her on our team. 

    Cheers all around to our amigo Megan!

  • Meet our partner Loui, though we're sure most in Vancouver already have. To say he’s a larger than life human being, with a one of a kind personality, would be an understatement.

    A proud Greek and family man, Loui’s family immigrated from a small town in Greece to Saskatoon, where he was born and spent his formative years. Following in his families hospitality footsteps, Loui brings his passion for good times to our Bravo family.

    For years he could be found behind the bar at Vancouver institutions Balthazar & Rodneys Oysters House Vancouver. 

    So come by Bar Bravo for a few belly laughs and complimentary bear hug from our partner Loui!

  • Meet our lead cocktail slinger and Bravo’s first bar manager, Dani. 

    This well travelled individual is originally from Frankfurt, made a pit stop in St Louis, and has now made Vancouver his home.

    Don't be fooled by his Bass Pro Shop hat collection- his talents behind the bar, passion for hospitality and charming personality, nicely balance out his self proclaimed 'trucker-chic' style.

    Come by for a drink and say hi to our guy and that world class moustache sometime soon. Cheers all around to you Dani!
