General Manager – Crush Wine Bar & Restaurant
Mark Moffatt moved from his native New Brunswick to Jasper, Alberta to follow his love of skiing over 20 years ago; after joining Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge he quickly became enamored with the hospitality industry, and his passion for wine and food began to grow. It was there that he developed a palate for great wine, food and service, three things he wants to bring to you daily.
With a wealth of industry experience behind him from high profile establishments- The Wildflower at Chateau Whistler, The Rimrock at the Palliser Hotel, Buffalo Mountain Lodge, reds bistro in Toronto, and most recently Chez Victor at Hotel Le Gemain- he now takes on Crush Wine bar in Toronto. He is also an accredited Sommelier completing his WSET Level 4, and then completing the Sommelier Diploma Program through the International Sommelier Guild, and now pursuing his MS. At Crush he oversees one of the city’s most eclectic wine programs, nurturing and growing the acclaimed list carefully to pass on value, quality and diversity to the guests. His ambition is to provide unique wines which compliment the food that ultimately lead to a memorable dining experience.
He regularly attends industry wine tastings keeping his palate and knowledge razor sharp to provide his guests informed wine suggestions to enhance their dining pleasure. “Delivering absolute satisfaction to everyone that enters our doorway” is his number one priority, he says, while motivating, managing and training his team “to deliver the highest service levels in Toronto, giving our guests an exceptional, unmatched dining experience.”
