\"IMG_4264\"I love a good oyster bar, even if oysters are the only forte. However, when there is the addition of a cocktail program, a serious scotch selection and a menu that showcases local products, I’ll spend more than a few moments checking it out. Recently I lunched at such a place – The Blackbird Public House & Oyster Bar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4270\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chef Alvin Pilay is in charge of the menu here and I am giving what I have tried so far a big stamp of approval. Lunch started with some fantastic oysters from Sawmill Bay, the Read Island Gems<\/a> served up creatively with a bacon and sherry vinegar mignonette, a few Royal Miyagis<\/a> with wasabi horseradish cocktail sauce and a Sawmill Bay Beach Gem or two with cucumber and kombu.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4271\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next up the Tempura Albacore Tuna salad made a welcome appearance. Garnished with avocado mousse, nori, yuzu, cucumber, cilantro and sesame, the dish was so irresistible that I easily finished it. But hey, no guilt, this place is Ocean Wise<\/a> and this is sustainable seafood.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4272\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The savoury portion\u00a0 of the meal finished with a Duck Confit salad with Fraser Valley beets, aged balsamic vinegar and arugula; another winner, very good, almost enough even by itself.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4276\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Luckily dessert was a bit lighter, a frozen lemon bar with Italian meringue, with rhubarb and pistachios. Refreshing and a nice nod to the just appearing local rhubarb.<\/p>\n

Of course some excellent cocktails were involved. Trevor Kallies runs the bar here so you can expect and receive some glasses full of glee.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4264\"<\/a>
\n Vintner’s Brunch<\/strong>
\nVictoria Oaken gin<\/a>, Luxardo Cherry Morlaco Sangue, Charles & Charles Cabernet Sauvignon, Scrappy’s Cardamom bitters, lemon zest. A good sipper with a nice whack of flavour and good dash of booze.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4274\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One to Grow On<\/strong>
\nGolden Grahams infused Absolut Elyx vodka, egg white, egg yolk, Pale Ale, Averna Amaro, simple syrup served in a mini milk bottle with striped paper straw. The ultimate adult milkshake.<\/p>\n

It’s not often great food, good drinks and a cool room come together – this works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
