Blissful Bites: Il Posto

Posted on May 2, 2026 by Sarah Toigo & Associates

Chef Terry Pichor and his partner, Julie, opened Il Posto in April of 2018. Julie grew up in Tsawwassen and with a father in restaurant business, she always knew she wanted to eventually open a place to call their own! Terry, originally from Manitoba, has been cooking in Vancouver for the majority of his career. A winner of two regional titles in the yearly Gold Medal Plates competition, Pichor is best known for his long-standing position as executive chef of the Relais & Châteaux property Sonora Resort. Prior to that, the chef worked at Four Seasons Vancouver and, more recently, helped open Vancouver Island’s Summit Restaurant at Villa Eyrie Resort, which was shortlisted for Canada’s Best New Restaurants 2017 by Air Canada enRoute magazine.

The chef is thrilled to be cooking in a more causal and simplistic style, yet staying true to his roots - using high quality, fresh ingredients from local sources. Both Terry and Julie have loved connecting with this community, bringing a fresh spin on Italian dining, and having Il Posto adopted as a neighbourhood spot for locals and visitors alike! 'Italian' can mean so many things, but for Il Posto - it means rustic, sharing and connecting.
