Last Minute Ideas For Canada Day
Happy Canada Day to you all! It’s a fairly gloomy one here in Vancouver, but we’re not going to let that stop us from enjoying some Canadian Food and getting out to raise a good ol’ glass of Canadian beer, wine or a Canadian-spirit based cocktail or two! Here’s a couple suggestions for you if you happen to need some inspiration.

Edible Canada in Granville Island
All sorts of great Canadian Food here, every day!
1.) Bison Poutine
This dish is composed of hand-cut fries, chucks of bison, caramelized onions, Quebec cheese curds, topped with a fried egg and bison gravy. Decadent is an understatement. This dish has it all: delicious, rich and comes served in portion that can be consumed between multiple people.
2.) Crispy Fraser Valley Duck Wings
Ditch the knife and fork and grab yourself a napkin! These duck wings have a crispy outside that’s slathered in a sauce composed of brown sugar, fish sauce and sprinkles of cilantro, summoning flavour inspiration from South East Asia. The perfect dish for getting messy and sharing with friends.
3.) House-Smoked Salmon
For a fresher take on a sharing dish, our House-Smoked Salmon served with golden beets, creme fraiche, maple mustard, fingerling chips and dill will not disappoint. Enjoy the beautiful flavour of wild BC salmon with friends as a starter to your meal.
