Our Chefs’ Philosophy
In Tune with Nature
Our Cuisine is in tune with nature and our Sea to Fork, Farm to Table approach. – it interprets the concept of ‘nature’s generosity’ by celebrating the trilogy of fish, vegetables, and Livestock. A meal curation more in tune with nature and better for your health.

At Huckleberry we showcase great produce. Locally sourced and seasonally relevant. Kind to the planet around us. Sustainable fishing, exclusively grown vegetables from our restaurant garden. This is healthy and natural food, prepared to perfection.

Embody a sense of Discovery
When we curate an epicurean experience, as a team we question a lot and step outside the comfort of Serving fine food “picturesque” that doesn’t taste nice.

Flirting with transgression to raise questions about birth discovery and creativity, searching for answers no matter how awkward, the need to develop critical awareness and discover new horizons.

We want to shake up your preconceptions, feed your curiosity, satisfy the hunger of risk, tickle your sense of humour, jog your memory, and get a reaction. We want to challenge your certainties, play with your contradictions, and show you ours.

BEAU’S BAR
Dedicated to Beau Robinson who retired in 2013 after over 50 years of service at Rosedon, Beau’s Bar is located in the main house in the Huckleberry Restaurant.

Beau often said “You name it, I can do it!” and was considered the heart of the house with a sense of humor and a ‘can do’ attitude. Beau’s Bar offers cocktails as unique as he was.

OUR WINE
We’re thrilled to announce that our hard work and dedication has officially been recognized for the Award of Excellence by Wine Spectator! When curating our wine list, we followed a simple philosophy: Never cut corners;quality ingredients yield quality products.

The majority of wines we sourced have been recognized and certified by several international bodies for their organic and bio-dynamic practices in the winemaking process.

We have also taken extra steps to highlight vintners that produce vegan wines as well as wines with little to no added Sulphites. Exceptional experiences call for exceptional drinking, let us provide you the perfect pairing. Find your new favorite here, at Huckleberry.

Organic
For a wine to be certified organic by the USDA, it must conform to a number of regulations. It should be free of synthetic additives and GMOs, and contain no added sulfites.

Additionally, growers must pass inspection each year, and satisfy all qualifications each time. Crafting an organic wine takes time and effort — the end product, however, makes it all worthwhile.

Biodynamic
First put forth by Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner in 1924, the concept of biodynamic viticulture complements traditional organic farming methods.

Steiner noted the importance of ecological harmony: Soil fertility, plant growth, and livestock care, he believed, were interrelated, and should be treated as a single system.

Special soil supplements are used, and planters follow a calendar determined by astronomical configurations. The end result is a clearer, vibrant wine, with more floral notes and enhanced longevity.

Sustainable
What good is wine today if it robs the world of wine tomorrow? Meeting at the junction of the organic and the economic, sustainable farming encourages growers to simply do what they can.

By conserving water, using cover crops and green manures, and sticking to responsible methods that make financial sense, farmers can raise an environmentally-friendly harvest while protecting their business, ensuring the proliferation of mindful farming worldwide.
