The GOODS from Bistro Pastis

Vancouver, BC | “…you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.”

This is your last chance to experience Executive Chef Tobias Grignon’s three-course prix fixe dinners in homage to the centenary of Julia Child. These menus have proven very popular over the summer so why not book a table for you and friends to enjoy and share … just as Julia would have wanted. Get the details and menu after the jump…

Reservations are a good idea: 604-731-5020 / www.bistropastis.com

As Julia would say “Bon Appetit!”
