The GOODS from Bistro Pastis

Vancouver, BC | From April 5th through May 1st get in touch with your inner Ilsa and Rick and join Bistro Pastis for a journey to Casablanca to explore the cuisine of Morocco. Briefly a French protectorate (1906 – 1956); Morocco’s cuisine reflects the cross-pollination of flavours and ingredients acquired through a culinary history that includes influences taken from Arab, Iberian, Berber, Jewish, Ottoman, Spanish and French culinary traditions.

Each of the two prix fixe menus runs for two weeks – Menu #1 from April 5th through 17th and Menu #2 from April 19th to May 1st and is specially priced at $42 for three-courses. This is your opportunity to try such famed Moroccan dishes as Harira (tomato and lentil soup), Kofta (meat balls), Couscous Royal, Ras El Hanout (a spice blend of more than 30 ingredients) and Bastilla (a special-occasion dish of savoury filling encased in a puff pastry shell).

Owner John Blakeley has also brought in a special selection of rosés to complement the Moroccan flavours. They will be available by the glass, half litre and bottle.

With each of the three courses offering a number of options, you could find yourself returning a few times throughout the month to sample each menu’s culinary delights as you exclaim “Play it again John.” You never know, after a dinner this good, you may be inspired to break into La Marseillaise.

Reservations are always a good idea and can be made by calling 604-731-5020 or on-line at www.bistropastis.com.
