Our Story
Seasons: Where the global celebrates the local
Seasons isn’t *just* a restaurant; it is an ideal. One that champions the philosophy that flavor is limitless, yet hews to the constraints of seasons. With the world ever changing, we strive to shatter the age-old customs of food by fashioning experiences that are contemporary and driven by what the season’s harvests.Â
Our philosophy emanates from the truth that ingredients may come from the land, but flavors may come from anywhere. We aim to juxtapose the local and the global by intertwining the bold complex flavors of far-off lands with the fresh, local harvests of Southwestern Ontario. We are proud to embody the local and the global, the best of both worlds right here in Byron.Â

He considers London, Ontario home, and it is where he has anchored his culinary heart. He has built a reputation with his first dining venture, The Bistro in St. Thomas, and now, with Seasons, his second restaurant, he is ready to take the next leap forward in his craft.
For over ten years, Akki leads the kitchen with a unique blend of passion and precision. He believes that cuisine is the highest form of storytelling and elevates local Canadian ingredients to express hospitality through food and connect with his guests. He shifts the culinary perspective and builds it from the global and the local, combined with his boundless imagination and a passion for storytelling from Canada’s seasonal harvest.
“For Akki food is the best means of telling stories through the transformation of the local ingredients into incredible creations, he guarantees that each dish is a unique expression of hospitality that creates an authentic relationship with guests.”
