Oliver & Bonacini Hospitality says Canadian restaurateur Peter Oliver has died at 74, after a battle with cancer. He entered the spotlight in 1993, when he partnered with chef Michael Bonacini to create a restaurant empire that runs 29 properties serving 30,000 guests a week and putting on more than 10,000 events annually.
Oliver got his start in the restaurant business in 1978, when he opened a small sandwich shop at Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue named Oliver's Old Fashioned Bakery.An obituary from Oliver & Bonacini said he loved teaching about nature's interconnectedness at their family cottage on Lake Baptiste.
My condolences to Andrew and Marc, whom I knew as a teen from campponacka.
Truly a remarkable and renouned restauranteur. I remember his little restaurant, east side of Yonge north of Eglinton. I worked at Yonge/St. Clair, living on Oriole Pkwy. Had my first Eggs Benny (and 2nd, 3rd, etc.) at Oliver's in the early 80's. Loved Auberge, Canoe.
