Cookhouse

The heart of the Outpost in the new ranch-style cookhouse, with its towering double-sided fieldstone fireplace, outdoor lounge, showpiece open-kitchen, and wrap-around viewing decks.

Flanking the outdoor lounge are the resorts' trademark 'bistro' and 'family' dining tents, whose individual charms have inspired many memorable occasions — several remarkably romantic betrothels and milestone celebrations among them.

Tables, set for two to twelve, groan under the weight of heirloom oil lamps, sparkling silver and the requisite dozens of candles.

Chef May presides over the 40'-long open-kitchen bar, serving up an ever-changing menu of his critically-acclaimed modern natural cuisine. Choose a seat at the bar for a casual (no less fabulous) evening, or a view table when a floor-to-ceiling window on the wild is on the menu.

Should the balmy Clayoquot summer show a flare for the dramatic, the indoor lounge affords an ideal spot to relax and watch the wild go by.
