Our new fall and winter menu is a virtual cornucopia of signature festive fare that evokes the warmth of the season and offers the perfect way to get cozy with contemporary twists on comfort-food classics.

Hearty entrees and mains on our new menu showcase the very best of BC’s farms, fields and pastures in selections such as French Tarragon Chicken with Burgundy cream, Kuterra Salmon (crispy salmon skin, quinoa & corn with herbs, charred kale, bannock croutons, Saskatoon berry & apple reduction), Spice-Crusted Lamb (pumpkin seed romesco, spaetzle, charred broccolini), Miso and Black Vinegar Duck Breast (5 spice caramelized fennel, orange, gai lan, ginger rice) and more.
