The 2011 BC’s Best Market Dinner schedule was released today – always our busiest day of the year for bookings. And for good reason – some of our dinners sell out within days of being posted!
Join us – and BC’s Best Chefs – for a gourmet feast in an incredibly unique and iconic setting – Granville Island Public Market, after-hours. Enjoy a multicourse market-inspired dinner with sommelier selected wine pairings in an intimate venue that is unlike any other in the province. The Market Dinners will continue in our brand new space on Granville Island – Edible at the Market – when construction is complete in the second part of 2011.
What can you expect? A chance to spend an interactive evening with a professional and well-known chef, a multicourse meal prepared in front of your eyes, BC’s top wines paired with each course, black linens and candlelight in the working market after hours, gracious serving staff and hosts, plus a 10% discount in the Edible BC Retail Store and on future tour bookings purchased that night.
Your chef will prepare seasonally inspired sumptuous dishes while you watch, taste and enjoy. Since the goal of the evening is just to relax and enjoy the experience, we will email you a copy of the recipes and wine pairings from the night along with photos documenting the food and evening.
Each night is limited to only 20 guests. Electronic gift certificates are available.
