News from Scout supporter Refuel

Vancouver BC | refuel neighbourhood restaurant & bar, the West 4th Avenue eatery specializing in casual Northwest cuisine, announces a special menu created for Valentine’s weekend.

From February 12-14, refuel owners Robert Belcham and Tom Doughty invite guests to relish a romantic three-course or four-course menu that reflects refuel’s emphasis on affordable and honest, down-to-earth Northwest fare.

After savouring the ultimate aphrodisiac—a fresh local oyster amuse bouche—guests will linger over delicious dishes that celebrate the highest quality local, seasonal ingredients. Dishes include creamy onion soup, roasted bone marrow, crispy Humboldt squid, wild BC salmon, hand rolled potato gnocchi and Sloping Hills pork.

The ultimate dinner for two? Opt for a whole polderside duck or an 18oz 35-day dry aged ribeye steak. And because no romantic dinner is complete without something sweet, the dessert list highlights a trio of decadent choices, including peanut and chocolate parfait with honeycomb, cheesecake with house preserves, or apple and pear crostada with sour cream ice cream.

The three-course menu is $49 per person and the four-course menu is $59 per person (see complete menus below). Refuel’s regular à la carte dinner menu is available February 12th and 13th but not on the 14th. Call 604-288-7905 to reserve. Menus and further details after the jump…

Open for lunch and dinner daily, with special brunch features on the weekends, the refuel menu has an incredible selection of snacks, sides, starters, mains and plates to share that utilize quality ingredients and offer excellent value.
