With Winter now in the rearview, we’re celebrating the arrival of Spring — and Summer soon to follow — with the debut of an all-new menu of fresh, West Coast-inspired fare from the team at The Lazy Gourmet!

Grab your picnic blankets, head out to your hand-picked park, backyard or beach and get set to soak up all that the majestic Pacific Northwest has to offer with a new mouth-watering lineup of food and drink favourites guaranteed to tempt eye and palate alike.

Our 2025 menu refresh includes a show-stopping collection of Appetizers, hearty and healthy Salads, gourmet Burgers and Handhelds, one-of-a-kind Chef’s Stations, Bars and Culinary Innovations, Hot Lunch Packages, crowd-pleasing Platters, decadent Desserts and creative Cocktails that evoke our culinary team’s core philosophy of bringing the West Coast’s freshest flavours into focus.

The new Appetizer lineup includes an array of hot, cold and classic appetizers like Sake Lamb Tartare with cured egg, crispy capers and Asian pear, Sichuan Style Chicken with pickled cucumbers and shallots and garlic aioli on wonton crisps, Moroccan Spiced Bison Striploin with curry yogurt and micro mint, Duck Confit and Mango with Habanero Mango Chutney wrapped in a green onion pancake, Parmesan Aubergine Bites with tomato jam and crispy basil and Nori Wrapped Teriyaki Salmon with horseradish crème fraîche and yuzu pearls, among others.

And what better signifies that spring and summer season has finally arrived than a bountiful BBQ menu brimming with burgers and handhelds? We’ve got the bases covered with Classic Angus, Impossible, Grilled Herb Chicken Breast or Salmon Fillet Burgers with an array of mouth-watering add-ons that include brie, havarti, cheddar or goat cheese, pickled jalapeños, bacon, mushrooms, sautéed peppers, spinach and onions and gourmet slather-on sauces such as tartar and BBQ and chipotle or Sriracha mayo.

Our new lineup of Chef’s Stations, Bars and Culinary Innovations elevates events to new heights with bespoke dining experiences that include Porchetta al Pastor, Slider & Milkshake, Torched Aburi-Style Sushi and Pan-Fried Gnocchi Stations, Build Your Own Taco and Bao Bars and an interactive Chocolate Bar Painting Chef Station where guests can custom create their own decadent masterpieces.

Spring and summer’s farm-freshest ingredients get their share of the spotlight in a new lineup of salads that includes Lemon Dill Potato, Herbed Barley & Tomato with tomato vinaigrette, Kale & Red Cabbage with carrot-ginger dressing, Mixed Greens with creamy coconut-tahini green goddess dressing and a modern take on the classic Waldorf, with romaine, roasted apple, dried cherry, radish, celery and Prosecco vinaigrette.

Our party perfect lineup of Platters features crowd-pleasing nibbles and noshes aplenty with entries like the West Coast Seafood (candied salmon, garlic prawns, seared BC Albacore tuna, scallops), Sushi Maki (100 pieces of salmon, tuna, vegetable, California and dynamite rolls artfully arranged and served with shoyu, wasabi and pickled ginger), Vegan Antipasto (eggplant tartare, melon with crumbled tempeh, grilled bread, artichoke tapenade, roasted cauliflower, vegan cheese, roasted peppers and olives) and others, including a Mezze Platter, Classic Cheese and Charcuterie, Satay, Whipped Honey and Herb Ricotta Dip and more.
