Winnipeg chef Alex Svenne has been named the executive chef at the Inn at the Forks.

Svenne, who along with his wife Danielle founded Bistro 7 1/4 and worked in many of the city’s top restaurants, will head the hotel’s banquet and catering services, room-service facilities and a new restaurant scheduled to open in September, a press release says.

“The new restaurant at Inn at the Forks will be about food, fun and community, and I look forward to the opportunity to cook in front of my guests and to get to know them through the dining experience,” Svenne is quoted as saying in the release.
