Metropolitan Hotel Vancouver’s, Diva at the Met, has introduced the Power Lunch. Designed for those who lack the time to linger over lunch, this four-course set menu is served in its entirety while staying true to the refined and creative cuisine for which Diva is known.
Diva’s new four-course Power Lunch menu changes twice weekly, offering a soup, appetizer, a choice of two main courses, plus dessert, all brought to the table at the same time, and for just $28.

“The Power Lunch offers guests the opportunity to entertain business clients over a full lunch without having to commit to a couple of hours out of the office,” says the Metropolitan Hotel Vancouver’s Executive Chef, Hamid Salimian. “Because the menu is changed at least a couple of times throughout the week, it allows us to make sure that we’re offering creative dishes that reflect what’s in season and currently inspiring us in the kitchen.”

The Power Lunch is available on weekdays from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm. All four of the menu’s components are arranged on one tray and brought to the table at the same time, eliminating any wait between courses. A sample menu would include roasted yam soup to start, an albacore tuna taco appetizer, pork cheek confit as a main course, and chocolate mousse layer cake for dessert.

This year marks Diva at the Met’s 15th anniversary. In recognition of the occasion and the restaurant’s influential role in Vancouver’s culinary progression, the Div[a]ine Evolution event was held on March 10, 2011, bringing back all of the restaurant’s former executive chefs for a dinner to celebrate Diva at the Met’s culinary journey, and the impact Diva has had on the city’s dining scene through mentoring a generation of young chefs.
