Lindsay Porter

Chef – London Local

Porter was the executive chef at Mercer Catering for several years before becoming the chef at El Cortez, Have Mercy and Woodwork. London Local joins a number of new, independent restaurants in the Ellerslie area, including Workshop Eatery and Pampa.

Over a decade ago, Lindsay and Evonne came together over a bond of appreciating good food. After years of collaborating, following Culinary Arts school, Chef Lindsay Porter and Owner Evonne Li decided to open an independent restaurant, combining Lindsay’s English heritage and award-winning creative cooking skills, along with Evonne’s extensive experience with front of house and human resources. The result is a space that is contemporary, rustic, and comfortable, while still focusing on the most important aspect – delicious food.
