Truffle hunter, Launie Fairbairn will be out hunting for truffles for the dinner and you get to meet her adorable truffle dog, Fancy at the dinner. This is a great excuse to share some wine with a few friends and tuck into a luxurious, fine meal this winter.⁠ ⁠ @swallowtailtours @brunofeldeisen ⁠ Chef Bruno will be showcasing the finest fresh truffles from Europe and BC to turn Xmas dinner on it’s head. Six rich, lovely courses of truffles cooked in Bruno’s traditional French style. Long table seating at a secret location in Mount Pleasant. BYOB, wine pairing list available upon request.⁠ ⁠ 🍄Truffle Menu⁠ ⁠ Hokkaido Scallops Crudo, “Petite Salade” Black Truffle Vinaigrette Tangerine Zest⁠ Roasted Black Cod, Winter Squash, Black Truffle Broth⁠ Fennel & Butternut Squash Al Dente Risotto, Shaved Pecorino, White Truffles⁠ Lamb Shank, Truffled Mashed Potato, Thyme Jus⁠ French Brie, Honey Alba Truffle Drizzle, Garlic & Wild Herbs Toasted Baguette⁠ Dark Chocolate & Black Truffle Mousse, Candy Cap Mushroom⁠ Meringue⁠ ⁠ Details: Swallow Tail secret supper club in Mount Pleasant ( address to be given upon booking). Since the location is BYOB our sommelier is happy to pass on wine pairing recommendations for you to bring; a nice pinot noir from France or bubbly always goes perfectly with truffles or if you prefer, a nebbiolo from Italy’s Barolo area where the famous Alba truffles grow.⁠ ⁠ Private Dinner Clubs in Vancouver | Truffles in Vancouver | Truffle Dog | Underground Supper Club | Secret Supper Club⁠ ⁠ #truffledinner #supperclub #holidaydinner #truffles ⁠
