What Our Guests Say:

For the last two years as part of a university course on Zion National Park, I have brought students to the Zion Ponderosa Resort for lodging and meals.... The meals at Zion Ponderosa have been the real highlight of our stays.... Francesca Van der Stappen (Frances), the chef, and her staff have been great to work with, and we have been pleasantly surprised both years with the meals we have enjoyed (wonderful soups too!). Frances has worked with us pre-trip on food requests and plans, and she has come up with a few extras each year for us too. There have been some unexpected “home-made” cookies (excellent by the way) and fruit as extras, and she made a cake for our group when she found out it was one of the student’s birthdays. I have also very much appreciated the personalized service our groups have received from Frances and David, and I recommend stopping by for dinner even if you don't stay the night. Frances has made us feel like we were visiting her home rather than a dining room, and she has been great at coming to our tables and interacting with students. - Sam Schroyer - University of Utah

"We can't say enough good things about Frances the new chef at Zion Ponderosa. She was VERY accommodating." - The Olsens

"One of the best surprises was our welcome dinner at the Blue Belly Grill--the food was absolutely outstanding! Chef Francis and her staff really outdid themselves . . . everything was so great. We had no idea we'd find such amazing food." - Bunches Family

"Heard it was the best! That was right! WOW! The BEST of the Best!!! I love it all!!!  My wife loved the Pork Chop and I loved the Fish. We will be back to see our good new friend, Chef Francesca.  Thank you so very much. Fantastic Customer Service. Really felt right at home." - Will

"We were expecting beautiful scenery and a quiet clean cabin.  Much to our surprise and delight we also found a world class chef, Francesca P. van der Stappen.  On our first trip to the dining room she greeted and listened attentively as I described a list of food allergies that I must contend with.  She immediately assured me that my palette would be well taken care of and she was right!   We were at the resort for three meals and the cuisine was exceptional.  Anyone who enjoys a culinary experience as well as an escape to the outdoors will find the Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort a memorable experience." - Susan & Ron




Francesca P. Van der Stappen Meet Our Chef

Francesca P. Van der Stappen

Francesca was raised in northern Utah, and has cooked all of her adult life.  Her first restaurant experience was at the beloved Dia-Enko-Tei, Utah's first truly authentic Japanese restaurant.  From there Frances took her trade to the best restaurants in the Salt Lake valley; as well as Park City. 

She was privileged to work with Michael Henson at The Barking Frog, and subsequently at the 350 Main Seafood Co.

She owned and cheffed at her own award winning Pocatello, Idaho restaurant the Golden Wheel Grill. Back to Northern Utah Frances operated the prestigious Wildflour Catering service for several years. 

Her love of food and family took her next to Louisiana, where she worked with her mentor and teacher Kim Kringlie at The Dakota restaurant.  While Frances was at The Dakota as Chef de Cuisine; the restaurant won the prestigious Zagat rating of 28 for food, “excellence to perfection.”   Her beloved father, Frank was retired in St George, so Frances returned to the west to be near him. After an 18 month stint at the prestigious Green Valley Spa; Frances has come on board at Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort, and looks forward to the relaxed atmosphere and the beauty of Zion; her favorite place on Earth.
