What to do for Dine Out Vancouver<\/h2>\n

I started writing my weekly picks and it ended up being so Dine Out Vancouver heavy that I decided to do a whole post on a couple of my ideas. So here’s my\u00a0Dine Out Vancouver 2018<\/a>\u00a0 <\/strong>suggestions and there’s so many choices that I’m not\u00a0 going to pretend that I have time to look through many of them, but I will give you some recommendations based on past experience and the menus I’ve seen. If you are looking for some great tips and value picks, head to my friend Dianne Chow’s site,\u00a0Fabulously Frugal<\/strong><\/a>, for her recommendations, and we’re even checking out one of her picks, Bimini’s<\/a>,<\/strong> on Sunday, as it’s only $20 and offers great value. Tammy Kwan has also done a fantastic job on rounding up new spots to check out in the Georgia Straight<\/a>, so give that a read too!<\/p>\n

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

Edible Canada<\/h3>\n

I’m always a fan of Edible Canada’s<\/strong> <\/a>menus and this year the restaurant is highlighting Indigenous cuisine as Chef Tobias Grignon, is collaborating with Chef Rich Francis , one of Canada\u2019s most well-known Indigenous chefs. I’ve had the privilege of sampling Francis’ cuisine several times and Grignon’s many, and can assure you this will be a delicious combination. Selections include crispy oysters with pork jowl and sea asparagus, hot smoked sockeye salmon with flavours of the medicine wheel, grilled elk medallions with Anishinaabe wild rice, bison with onion bannock, brown butter roasted pacific ling cod with three sister ragout, buttermilk brined crispy turkey leg with squash puree, and more.<\/p>\n

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

Chicha Restaurant<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Over at Chicha<\/a><\/strong>, on Broadway near Main Street, where we eat often, we’d suggest grabbing a pisco sour or two and bring friends to share.\u00a0 They’ve got a great vegetarian menu and a carnivore version too, including a quinoa salad with lots of other flavours, causa beet with whipped potato, lima bean and rice cakes topped with spicy butternut squash and winter veggie stew and those Peruvian caramel shortbread cookies known as alfajores.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

The Cascade Room and The Union<\/h3>\n

The Cascade Room<\/a> <\/strong>offers great value at $30 with selections such as the apple and parsnip soup or goat cheese salad, a venison burger, or chicken tikka masala and end with a cheese plate or chocolate brownie to finish.<\/p>\n

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

The Union represents Southeast Asia and has vegan and gluten-free options. Start with the Manju Masala feature cocktail ($12), a blend of chai bourbon with spiced coconut milk, and order up dishes including Sweet and Sour Soup or Som Tum Salad and a Roghan Josh Lamb Curry, Malaysian seafood curry, or an Indian Thali with vegetables, rice and naan. For dessert, indulge in a slice of flourless chocolate cake served with coconut gelato, or cap the meal with a Ho Chi Minh Coffee – Vietnamese coffee with cardamom cacha\u00e7a (a sugarcane spirit), vanilla syrup and sweetened condensed milk.<\/p>\n

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

Ocean Wise Pop-Up Cafe<\/h3>\n

Another great experience can be had at the Vancouver Aquarium\u00a0 where there’s the\u00a0Ocean Wise\u00ae Pop-Up Caf\u00e9<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong> on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings throughout the Festival, form Friday, Jan. 19 to Sunday, Feb. 4. Chef Ned Bell has a 3-course menu created from recipes in his new cookbook, Lure (which I have and love) including a\u00a0Torched Albacore Tuna Tataki Salad,\u00a0Fanny Bay Clam Chowder, Arctic Char or Wild B.C. Salmon,or and his amazing Sea “Weed” Brownies\u00a0<\/b>pictured above.\u00a0<\/b>Dinner service will take place at the Ocean Wise Pop-Up Caf\u00e9 at Vancouver Aquarium on January 19, 20, 21, 26, 27, and 28 as well as February\u00a02, 3, and 4.\u00a0There are two seatings per night at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Each seating lasts 1.5 hours.\u00a0<\/span>Tickets are limited and cost $62.35 per person (inclusive of tax and service charges). \u00a0www.vanaqua.org\/oceanwisepopup<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

H2 Rotisserie & Bar and H Lounge<\/h3>\n

We recently checked out H Lounge and adored it. (POST HERE)<\/a>, and for Dine Out Vancouver there’s even complimentary valet parking and dine-and-stay packages. H2 Rotisserie & Bar offers guests a three-course menu for $30 per person, with an optional ‘flight of local taps’ for an additional $9. Start off with organic baby kale salad or mushroom bisque, move on to rotisserie chicken pot pie or winter squash ragu, and finish up with peanut butter panna cotta or cranberry apple crumble.<\/p>\n

H Lounge pairs is $40 per person and includes a choice of heirloom tomato & cold-pressed avocado or ponzu seaweed salads, seared diver scallop or 28-day aged striploin entr\u00e9es, and tri-chocolate mousse cake or green tea passion fruit mousse. Wine pairings, ranging from $10 to $14 per glass, are available.<\/p>\n

There’s also the World Chef Exchange Dinner<\/strong><\/a> here on January 30th. The evening begins with yellow corvina (braised or \u2018chaud-froid\u2019), and abalone and black truffle hot & sour soup, as well as baked blue abalone with herbed butter. Guests\u00a0then have a choice of\u00a0entr\u00e9es prepared two-ways, featuring Kung Pao lobster with macadamia nuts and lobster and wagyu beef cheek surf & turf, before finishing off with creamy almond tea pudding or tarte aux poires Normande.<\/p>\n

This Beijing-meets-Vancouver collaboration combines the skills of H Lounge Executive Chef Alex Mok and visiting Executive Chef Jacky Fan from the Westin Beijing Financial Street. To complement the two chefs\u2019 artistry, each course will be paired with the sommelier\u2019s choice of vintage wine. The suggested pairing for the first course is the premium bartender\u2019s handcrafted Chinese gin & tonic, featuring chrysanthemum and cilantro infused gin, house-made bitter melon and Chinese five-tonic syrup and quinine plum caviar.<\/p>\n

Tickets for the World Chef Exchange dinner on January 30 at 6:30 pm are $131 per person, including beverages, taxes and gratuity. Tickets here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Australian Day at Cafe Medina<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I might be from New Zealand, but that doesn’t mean I harbour any resentment towards Australian’s, and in fact my great grandfather came way of Australia, and not on one of those prison ships, but that’s another story. People all over the world will be happy to celebrate Australia Day with culinary walkabout at Cafe Medina’s\u00a0Australia Day Wine Dinner<\/strong> on Friday, January 26<\/strong> at 6:30 p.m.<\/strong> as part of the 2018 Dine Out™ Vancouver Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n
