BC’s Finest Ingredients Showcased at Casual Kitsilano Restaurant
Oakwood Canadian Bistro is delighted to launch its new fall/winter menu showcasing BC’s finest ingredients. Following a successful opening this summer, the casual, welcoming room is quickly carving a name for itself as Kitsilano’s favourite neighbourhood restaurant. Perfect for cozy fall and winter dinners, the warm, 85-seat bistro features a roaring fireplace and 16-seat communal table made from reclaimed fir, oak and cedar.
Executive Chef Michael Robbins—a rising star in Vancouver’s culinary community—prides himself on Oakwood Canadian Bistro’s food philosophy, which focuses on fresh, house-made dishes crafted from locally sourced products. The small, seasonally changing menu caters to market availability and the sustainability of the products. All meats are organic, local and free of hormones and antibiotics, while the seafood is sustainable, seasonal and Ocean Wise certified. From the breads and pastas to the butchery and sauces, all products are made in-house with quality and consistency.
Oakwood Canadian Bistro’s straightforward dinner menu features Canadian classics alongside the international melting pot cuisine that Canada is renowned for. Menu highlights include French Onion Soup with caramelized onion, beef broth and smoked cheddar crostini; Sezmu striploin steak and frites with Kennebec hash, onion jam and dijon hollandaise; herb potato gnocchi with tomato sauce, zucchini, olives, fried sage, parmesan and pesto; and the acclaimed AAA Burger made with hand-cut meat, house-made poppy seed bun, buttermilk fried onion and smoked cheddar. With a reasonable price point of $7 to $26, the Oakwood Canadian Bistro offers a fun, unpretentious dining experience.
Enjoy your weekends a little more with brunch at the Oakwood, featuring a tasty selection of dishes for only $10 each.
