Bistro Provence
Owners
When the opportunity arose to purchase Bistro Provence, the search for a
small business that our whole family could grow with came to an end.
Originally from Saskatoon, Ed & Marcella Povhe happily packed up 3
kids and headed to the foothills. The Bistro will be a new challenge
for both now that all the children are in school full time. Ed knows
what he likes, especially when food is involved. He has always dreamed
of having a small restaurant, a place of his own. Marcella has many
years experience in catering and food preparation.
With Nicolas our leader and French Chef extraordinaire having over 20
years of international culinary experience and Jill our ever patient
guide, we are happily jumping in with both feet.
The Bistro has been a staple of fine French cuisine in Okotoks for over
30 years. The Povhe Family will continue the tradition of offering fine
French food in a warm casual atmosphere.
Executive Chef
Nicolas Desinai, the Executive Chef at Bistro Provence hails from Brittany, France.
In the past 20 years Nicolas has gathered an impressive international resume in the
art of food preparation. He was trained in France and has perfected his culinary
skills in such places as the French Riviera, Switzerland, Thailand, Dubai and New
York city. Nicolas has travelled the world, and has called Canada home since 1998.
He moved to Calgary in 2000 to work as Executive Chef at Priddis Green Golf Course.
We are proud to say, Nicolas has been the Executive Chef at Bistro Provence since 2005.
Head Server
The delightful Jill Jenkins started her career at the Ginger Tea Room here in
Okotoks. When the Tea Room closed, Jill worked at the Bistro, formerly called La’
Petite Table under a previous owner. After two and a half years at Divine down the street,
Jill is back with us, and always extends a warm welcome to her many friends
and former customers.
