One of the city’s most well-known and loved chefs, Vikram Vij, is famous for his namesake Vancouver-based restaurant, Vij’s. Open since 1994, the institution was described as “easily among the finest Indian restaurants in the world” by The New York Times. Chef Vij has earned global recognition for his culinary career, cookbooks, and industry advocacy, highlighted by the Michelin Guide and James Beard Awards, alongside appearances on Top Chef Canada, Chopped Canada, and Dragons’ Den, among many others.
For the Market, Chef Vij is launching Peacock, a new Indian concept which will serve Vij’s Samosa Chaat salad with beets and candied walnuts, Jennifer’s Salt Fish Curry, and Vij’s family Chicken Korma with pickled chillies.
