The Chef's Table at SkyVu, Vaughan
Five courses cooked in front of you by Chef Amit, each paired with an Ontario wine. Six seats a night and a theme that changes through the year.
What Is a Chef's Table?
A chef's table is a small dining experience where guests sit close to the kitchen and eat a set multi-course menu chosen by the chef. There is no ordering from a menu. The chef decides what is served, cooks it in view of the table and talks guests through each course.
At Golden Flame, the Chef's Table seats six guests at the SkyVu Event Centre. Each evening is a five-course tasting menu that runs for about two hours, cooked and served by the same team from start to finish.
Most chef's tables in the GTA are in downtown Toronto. This one is in Vaughan, at 231 Cityview Boulevard, with parking on site and a room in the same building if you would rather not drive home.
Your Evening,
Step by Step
About two hours from the moment you sit down to the last plate.
Arrive
Come up to the SkyVu Event Centre, check in with our host and take your seat at the table.
Meet the Chef
Chef Amit introduces the theme for the evening and where the ingredients and ideas come from.
Five Courses
Each course is cooked in view of the table, explained by the chef and paired with wine.
Finish
Dessert, a final word from the kitchen, and time to ask the team anything about the meal.
A Menu That Keeps Changing
Every Chef's Table menu is built around one theme, usually a country, a region or a cooking tradition. When a theme ends, the whole menu changes, so a return visit is a different dinner.
Moroccan Spice Markets
Slow-cooked tagines, charred flatbreads and the warm spice blends of Marrakech and Fes.
Japanese Kappo
Counter-style Japanese cooking built around seasonal fish, broths and precise knife work.
Coastal Italy
Seafood, handmade pasta and simple sauces from the coastlines of southern Italy.
Ontario Harvest
A menu built entirely on what Ontario farms and producers are growing that season.
These are examples of the themes we plan to cook. The opening theme will be announced to the waitlist first.
Meet Chef Amit
Meet Chef Amit
Chef Amit Poojari has spent more than 20 years creating dining experiences, from the JW Marriott Mumbai to head chef on a premier cruise line and leading the kitchens of top steakhouses in the GTA. He has also been featured on Food Network.
The Chef's Table brings all of that to one table. He sets each theme, writes each menu and cooks in front of you, with the same Golden Flame team that runs our cafe downstairs.
Ontario on the Plate, Ontario in the Glass
Whatever the theme, we start with what is local and in season, and every evening is paired with wine from an Ontario winery.
Local Produce
Vegetables and fruit from Ontario farms, chosen for what is at its best that week.
Ontario Meat
Locally raised meat and poultry, bought from Ontario farms and suppliers we know and trust.
Premium Ontario Wine
Wines from our partner Magnotta Winery, included and paired with every course by our sommelier.
Book the Whole Table
The Chef's Table can be booked privately for a group of up to six guests. It works well for client dinners, team celebrations, birthdays, anniversaries and rehearsal dinners.
Chef Amit can build a menu around your group, whether that means a specific cuisine, a favourite dish or dietary needs across the table. For larger events, the SkyVu Event Centre has four spaces for up to 279 guests.
Chef's Table Questions
About the Chef's Table
When does the Chef's Table open, and which nights does it run?
The Chef's Table opens in November 2026 and runs Monday to Thursday evenings, by reservation only. Join the waitlist to hear about the first theme and opening dates before bookings open to the public.
What is included in the evening?
Each evening is a five-course tasting menu for six guests that takes about two hours. Chef Amit cooks and explains each course, and a sommelier pairs each one with a wine from our partner, Magnotta Winery in Ontario. The wine pairing is included.
How do I book, and how far ahead?
The Chef's Table is reservation only, and bookings must be made at least one week in advance so the kitchen can plan the menu and source ingredients. Details on any deposit and the cancellation policy will be shared when reservations open.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies?
Please tell us about any allergies or dietary needs when you book. We will adapt dishes where we can. Some themes are harder to change than others, so the more notice we have, the better.
How is the Chef's Table different from Golden Flame Cafe?
Golden Flame Cafe is our everyday cafe and bar lounge on the main floor of the hotel, open seven days a week with an a la carte menu and no booking required. The Chef's Table is a reserved, five-course tasting menu served on set evenings upstairs in the SkyVu Event Centre, with the chef cooking and presenting each course.
Where is the Chef's Table, and is there parking?
The Chef's Table is at the SkyVu Event Centre, inside TownePlace Suites by Marriott Vaughan at 231 Cityview Boulevard, Vaughan. Parking is available on site.
