Brian Bradley

Pastry Chef

They say cooking is an art and baking is a science, but for Brian Bradley, the story behind the dish is also crucial. As an award-winning pastry chef, he balances creativity and precision to create desserts, breads, baked goods and stories you won’t find anywhere else. He earned his Red Seal in both baking and cooking and has more than 30 years of experience working in Victoria’s leading establishments, including Tombo Eats, Fol Epi Organic Bakery, Marina Restaurant and Murchies Tea and Coffee. For Brian, inspiration comes from past experiences, as well as his vast library of pastry books collected over the years. Relentlessly curious, his approach to making desserts is original and playful, and he often spends his downtime taking online courses and learning from fellow colleagues in Victoria. At Janevca, his creations reflect the whimsy of this unique heritage setting with an ever-changing and dynamic seasonal approach. Trust us, you’ll want to leave Janevca on a sweet note.
