TORONTO, ON (February 12, 2026) – is proud to announce the launch of the Global Chef Series set to premiere on March 6 and 7, 2026, with a two-night residency from Felipe Schaedler, the celebrated São Paulo-based chef behind Banzeiro. The residency kicks off a year of refined and rare international culinary collaborations at the hotel.
The Global Chef Series is an exclusive culinary program welcoming internationally acclaimed chefs for highly limited collaborations at Restaurant. Each residency pairs a celebrated guest chef with Park Hyatt Executive Chef Jonathan Williams to craft immersive, multi-course tasting menus bringing the distinct flavours and signature dishes of the chef’s home city to Toronto for a brief moment in time. Each residency will be complemented by a curated selection of fine wines and spirits, selected to enhance and elevate each menu.
Chef Schaedler’s cooking is defined by rare ingredients, ancestral techniques, and a deep respect for Brazil’s biodiversity. His Toronto appearance marks a highly anticipated Canadian debut, with a tasting menu inspired by the flavours, textures, and stories of the Amazon.
The multi-course tasting menu presented by Chefs Schaedler and Williams is priced at $165 CAD per person, with an optional wine pairing available for $95 CAD per person. Reservations are now available via .
“Our guests are curious, well-traveled, and eager for experiences that feel meaningful and transportive,” said Eduardo Bressane, General Manager, Park Hyatt Toronto. “Park Hyatt has always been about offering experiences that feel truly rare - the kind of moments our guests can’t easily find anywhere else. By bringing these internationally renowned chefs to Toronto, alongside our own exceptional Chef Jonathan Williams, we’re continuing that commitment, connecting our guests to world-class talent and cultural experiences in our distinct setting.”
