The realization of culinary passion. That’s the story behind Calgary’s Vero Bistro Moderne, located in Calgary’s always-vibrant Kensington neighbourhood. Owner and chef Jenny Chan launched the restaurant in 2008, serving what she terms “modern interpretations of Italian and French cuisine," sometimes inspired by her Chinese heritage.
Vero Bistro means “true bistro” in Italian. “She named it that because she wants to stay true to her passion, which is cooking,” explains Vero Bistro manager, Michael Berg. Born in Hong Kong, Jenny came to Canada as a teenager. She graduated from the SAIT Polytechnic culinary program earning her Red Seal accreditation. “She loves Italian cuisine,” explains Michael, adding that, prior to opening her own restaurant in what was once a T-shirt shop, Jenny worked for five years in the kitchen at La Dolce Vita Ristorante where she honed her Italian cooking skills.
