OUR STYLE

Whether you're joining us for breakfast, lunch or dinner you'll always find a friendly face ready to help out with local advice. Enjoy a glass of BC wine, ice cold draft beer, or take in the breathtaking mountain vistas while sipping a cappuccino. Spend the evening with us for a four course meal, drop in for a resupply on groceries, or pick up that unique gift you've been searching for. At the Truffle Pigs Café you'll find what you need in an atmosphere that is simply envigorating.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

The truffle pig is a creature willing to get into the muck to root out wonderful things to eat. Likewise, at the Truffle Pigs Café we go to great lengths to create our own recipes using fresh quality ingredients. The result is that our food is creative, tasty, and beyond pretense.

We also believe in using organics wherever possible, non-medicated meats, and try to cater to those people who have food allergies and dietary constraints. We believe that children have a place in restaurants, great food should be an affordable experience, and food, energetic conversation and beverage are the true three sisters. We serve real food to real people in real time.

OUR ROOTS

Just ask the staff - Jennifer Coffman and Sean Cunningham are “spun like tops”, “focused and driven”, “bosses to be reckoned with”, have type “A” personalities and bring passion and energy to the food, beverage and retail business. When their parents visit from North Bay and Toronto, they have no choice but to work in the kitchen’s dish pit (as do close personal friends). These two truffle pigs spend their non working hours with their son or having dinner parties with friends and family.

Jennifer Coffman’s cakes, pies, cookies and squares are all inspired by the gods. She has an uncanny sense of food fusion, can make a mess in any kitchen and produces wonderful delectably delicious delights. Jennifer has created all of Truffle Pigs' salad dressings, is involved in all food matters at the cafe / bistro, serves on a regular basis, has unending energy for her 2 year old son and laments the fact that she has little time to hike and climb.

Sean Cunningham, Jennifer’s husband and partner, is the Café and Bistro’s head chef. His picturesque plates are summoned in a snap and scarfed down in seconds. His visionary recipes up the creative ante. Arousing delicious results from disparate flavours is his specialty.

How to get here

The town of Field is located on the Trans Canada Highway, so you can get to us very easily. From Halifax to Calgary and anywhere in between, take the Trans Canada Highway west towards the B.C. border. The entrance into the province of B.C. is also the entrance to Yoho National Park, so continue down a very large hill - the Kicking Horse Pass - and in the distance you'll see Field approaching.

From Vancouver take the Trans Canada east into the mountains, over Rogers Pass, past Revelstoke and Golden and continue into Yoho National Park. Only 40 minutes to go! As you pass the turn-off to Emerald Lake, you'll see the town of Field at the far right end of the valley.

Turn into Field, cross the bridge, and do not leave this road until the Truffle Pigs Cafe is on your right hand side.
