Harry Kambolis is a Vancouver-based restaurant entrepreneur and businessman. With a family background in hospitality, Kambolis had a vision of transforming the Canadian restaurant industry and in less than a decade, created three restaurants – Raincity Grill, C Restaurant and Nu – that have earned critical acclaim nationwide, including a national award for Best Restaurant in Canada. Kambolis was the first restaurant entrepreneur to base an entire menu off of locally sourced ingredients and produce in the now widely followed 100-mile diet and in doing so, helped define Pacific Northwest cuisine.

A passionate environmentalist, Kambolis is a founding member of the Vancouver Aquarium’s Ocean Wise program and aims to make C Restaurant a flagship of sustainability with the help of Executive Chef Robert Clark, business partner and 2009 recipient of Vancouver Magazine’s Green Award. In his spare time, Kambolis is the Director of Greenscape Capital and also works tirelessly with the David Suzuki Foundation as well as the Marine Stewardship Council. Kambolis’ other accomplishments include bringing socially responsible products to Canadian consumers and defining eco-luxury in his recently launched online newsletter, Ethical Luxury (www.ethicalluxury.ca).
