Davide Invernizzi - Lead Culinary Enthusiast / Executive Chef
Food has always been my way of connecting—with people, places, and culture. I grew up in Milano in a family where hospitality was a way of life. My grandfather ran a bar, and my earliest memories are of the kitchen: the scent of simmering sauces, the rhythm of service, and the joy of sharing a good meal.
Over the past 15 years, I’ve brought that passion around the world—from the vibrant kitchens of Spain and Australia to the precision of Amsterdam’s Michelin-starred Taiko Restaurant, where I refined my approach to Asian fusion cuisine. In Switzerland, I led the team at Union Brasserie to earn 13 Gault&Millau points in 2019, staying true to my Italian roots while embracing global influences.
Today, as Executive Chef at Canopy by Hilton Toronto Yorkville, I bring together tradition and innovation to craft dishes that reflect my journey—rooted in heritage, inspired by travel, and driven by a commitment to excellence. Each plate tells a story, bridging my past around the globe with the dynamic energy of Toronto’s culinary scene.
