LET'S FACE IT, VANCOUVER HAS YET TO BE COMMENDED FOR ITS FOOD TRIP POTENTIAL
CALLING FOODIES AROUND THE WORLD. DISCOVER VANCOUVER. IT'S NEXT TO SEATTLE.
THIS IS MY FAVOURITE RESTAURANT IN ALL OF VANCOUVER. THE FIRST PLACE I TAKE FRIENDS WHO VISIT.
THE LOCATION IS NOT WHAT US VANCOUVERITES CALL WELCOMING. LOCATED IN BLOOD ALLEY, A TINY, OFF BEAT STREET IN GASTOWN (Vancouver's Soho). THE SALT TASTING ROOM IS A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE ALL TOGETHER.
THE MENU IS SIMPLE.
GUESTS ASSEMBLE A TASTING PLATE FROM THE CHALKBOARD'S SELECTION OF
10 CHEESES
10 MEATS
10 CONDIMENTS
THE SELECTIONS CHANGE CONSTANTLY, MAKING IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE THE SAME SALT EXPERIENCE TWICE.
WHAT I DO, HOWEVER, SINCE I KNOW AS MUCH ABOUT PAIRING WINE, CHEESE, AND MEAT AS I DO ABOUT ASTROPHYSICS...I SUBMIT MYSELF TO THE OH SO TALENTED WAITSTAFF.
MENU GOOD FOR TWO
THAT THEY CHOOSE FOR YOU
BUTCHER PLATE ($15)
(3 meats + 3 condiments)
+
CHEESE MONGER PLATE ($15)
( 3 cheeses + 3 condiments)
+
WINE FLIGHT ($15)
(three 2 oz. tasters)
...or if you are visiting British Columbia for the first time...
BEST OF BC PLATE ($15)
(mix of 3 locally produced items = 3 condiments)
