And now, holiday news aside, the owners & staff of Trafalgars Bistro and extremely excited to let you know about some big changes in the air.
First & foremost, we are pleased to introduce you to our new Head Chef, Chris Beltrano. After almost 3 years with us and quickly moving up the ranks, Chris has proven to be an inspired & inspiring presence both on the line and off. Chris’s focus as we move into 2010 will be seasonality, simplicity and sustainability. He is committed wholeheartedly to the Oceanwise program, and ensures that all products used are of unparalleled quality. We look forward to helping him launch a “Farm to Table” program this spring through partnership with Cherry Lane Farms in Richmond. (Farmer Miles Smart is already preparing the land for our first early season crops!) Under Chef Beltrano’s careful eye, we have been able to drop our menu prices heading into the holiday season – our 3 course dinner menu is now $35, and lunch prices took a similar tumble. Our menu will be updated more often that in the past, so please check in to our w
We have also just expanded & fine tuned the details on our catering program. For your staff meetings or office lunches we have a wide variety of options such as charcuterie plates, rare tuna platters, and assorted sandwiches and desserts (see website for two page menu).
And lastly, we are going to be closing January 4th for renovations and are hoping to reopen on January 12th. As Stephen laughs, “we’re in need of a little facelift- it happens to the best of us!”
So mark your calendars: in January we’d love you to swing in and be reacquainted with a new old favourite!
Happy Holidays from our Trafalgars Family to yours.
