The GOODS from Bistro Pastis

Vancouver, BC | Autumn is a wonderful time of year in France; les marchés overflow with stunning produce, there’s a crispness to the air and a golden hue to the light. During this season of harvest home cooks and chefs alike begin to introduce sturdier foods to their menus. For the month of October, Bistro Pastis will be honouring the harvest with a series of special prix fixe menus. The first one, which runs from October 2 – 14th, and priced at $49 for three courses, celebrates the lowly squash in all its magnificent and flavourful versatility. We think Chef Tobias Grignon’s variations on the theme of ‘squash’ will sate both stomach and soul. Reserve here or call us at 604-731-5020. Menu after the jump…
