Db Bistro Moderne Restaurant Now Closed
38 Dinner and $28 Lunch Prix-Fixe Party Continues
db Bistro Moderne Vancouver is pleased to announce the continuation of special Dine Out Vancouver prix-fixe pricing, all summer long. “It was an easy decision for us,” comments General Manager Chris González. “Our loyal clientele asked, and we answered with an enthusiastic commitment to continue the $38 and $28, three-course, prix-fixe menus we originally created during the popular Dine Out promotion.”
Nathan Guggenheimer has been busy in his db kitchen, since he assumed his new role as Chef de Cuisine last month. “Like all of Daniel’s great chefs, Nathan wants to see guests enjoy the full three course experience, so together we decided to continue the prix-fixe party right through the summer – even out onto the outdoor patio when it opens in June”, continued the restaurant’s general manager.
Db Bistro Moderne Vancouver and sister restaurant Lumière have more reasons to celebrate than just a successful spring season. Partner – Chef Daniel Boulud, whose impeccable standards and culinary vision direct the two Vancouver restaurants, just received two important culinary awards for his namesake Manhattan restaurant. DANIEL was recognized with a prestigious James Beard Award for ‘Outstanding Restaurant’. Each year the latter goes to only one restaurant in the United States that serves as a national standard-bearer for consistent quality and excellence in food, atmosphere, and service. Candidates must have been in operation for at least 10 or more consecutive years.
Barely two weeks earlier DANIEL, was ranked number eight in Restaurant Magazine’s list of the “World’s 50 Best Restaurants”. This placed DANIEL among the only three United States winners included among the top ten. Both accolades come in the wake of DANIEL having earned the prestigious three star rating in the 2010 Michelin Guide. Only five New York City establishments share that honour.
Db Bistro Moderne and Lumière co-owners David and Manjy Sidoo are of course very pleased for their partner Daniel Boulud. “We couldn’t be happier for him and his Dinex Group team, and we are extraordinarily proud that he chose to partner with us here in the great culinary city of Vancouver. We join the entire culinary community and our clients, in congratulating Daniel on his continuing successes. We invite everyone to experience that same exceptional cuisine and attention to detail here at Daniel’s Vancouver restaurants, Lumière and db Bistro Moderne, ” says David.
Chris González invites patrons to join in the celebrations and partake of the regular a-la-carte menus, or sample the continuing $38 and $28 prix-fixe menus. “Returning Dine Out clients will see changes to the menu as the season progresses, so they can continue to benefit from the special pricing and enjoy a varied menu.”
To kick things off, Chef Guggenheimer suggests a $38 dinner menu including choice of: Soup du Jour, or Country Pork Terrine ‘Grand-Père with wild mushrooms, English relish and housemade pickles, or Spring Salad with beet carpaccio, mesclun, shaved crudité and hazelnut dressing; followed by Rock Hen Duo with spaetzle, asparagus and sweet and sour jus, or Bouillabaisse Provencal of BC spot prawns, squid, halibut and garlic rouille, or Roasted Potato Gnocchi with sugar snap peas, tomato confit, and meyer lemon hollandaise; and finished with Bittersweet Chocolate Bar with chocolate crémeux and raspberry sorbet, or Tarte au Citron with almond sweet dough, milk foam and cassis sorbet, or Rhubarb Sundae of oat crumble, vanilla ice cream and ginger foam. And of course, optional pairings of gorgeous BC and other wines, are suggested by Sommelier Kevin Van Hullebush . Three-course prix-fixe dinner $38, lunch $28. Prices do not include tax and gratuity.
