The name of Vancouver’s latest dining concept, SUYO, is derived from an indigenous South American word for “homeland.” The inspiration for the name comes from a conversation that chef/co-owner Ricardo Valverde had with his father when they were immigrating to Canada 24 years ago. The younger Valverde asked his father what they would be doing upon arrival, to which they elder responded: “let’s build patria,” Spanish for “homeland.” If SUYO’s cuisine is any indication, then its new homeland is and will be filled with delicious food that speaks to disparate homelands the world over.
