Meet the Chef: Chef Michael Gover

Mountain Room Chef Michael Gover

Executive Chef Michael Gover entered Yosemite in 1982 with just a backpack and a guitar, with the intention of camping for a week or two. Instead, he stayed to master his craft in the kitchens of Yosemite. Chef Gover creates unique, flavorful and healthy dishes for his guests, using only the freshest, in-season ingredients for his recipes. He is also cognizant of those with special dietary needs, so that all his guests are satisfied.

Chef Gover works closely with his Sous Chef and his staff to not only offer an outstanding menu for The Mountain Room, but also to prepare and provide cuisine for many of the Park's year-round and seasonal dining outlets.

Testimonials

“The Ahwahnee surpassed all our expectations on the occasion of our 30th anniversary. Every detail was splendid and memorable - right down to the rose petals on the bed in the shape of a heart, and the cheery rubber duckies! The dinner in the dining room was regal, and the champagne flowed with splendor, as did the Yosemite Falls just outside our balcony. Altogether, a perfect place for a seasoned romance, or the start of a new one... ”
– Edward M. from San Diego, CA
