About the Cuisine & Meals:

The Retreat fee includes all dinners and brunches prepared by Doe Bays award winning restaurant.

Doe Bay supports local farmers by using in-season ingredients in everything they make. The island has an abundance of farms, foragers and fishermen they draw on for all their fresh ingredients.

Esteemed Chefs Abigael Birrell & Ande Janousek draw from what is available fresh on the islands, the surrounding waters and land of the region, and take organic and seasonal fare to a new level of excellence.

Meals are enjoyed in their dining room over the water, where we will feature delightful organic vegetables and fruits grown for them by a network of local Orcas farmers. Often the food you will enjoy with us was harvested just hours before they prepare it, bringing you the peak of flavor and vitality.
