Chef in Residence, Fluke (Winter)

Born and raised in Evangeline, Prince Edward Island, Chef Greg Arsenault grew up by the ocean with a lifelong love of shellfish. His first job was fishing quahogs and clams for his uncle, and a career aptitude test after high school set him on the path to the culinary arts, drawn to the fast-paced energy of the kitchen.

Greg trained at the Culinary Institute of Canada in Charlottetown, completing an internship at Fox Harb’r Resort before joining The Five Fishermen in Halifax, where he advanced to First Cook. Returning home, he honed his skills at several Island restaurants, including The Home Place in Kensington — where he created the 2015 PEI Burger Love winner, The Cabbage Patch, and won the Clammin’ and Jammin’ bar clam contest.

In 2021, Greg opened La Rose Bistro in Cavendish with his family, named for his daughter and inspired by his Acadian roots. After four seasons, he is excited to begin his next chapter as Head Chef at Fluke at The Hotel Acadia.
