The GOODS from Wildebeest

Vancouver, BC | This weekend, Wildebeest presents the first in a new series of Sunday dinners. Join us this Sunday for roast chicken, featuring whole Rosedale ‘Bresse’ chickens, revered for their flavour due to perfect fat distribution and superior texture. These locally raised chickens are directly from the Bresse line, the world’s only AOC bird, national bird of France, chicken of choice of Chef Heston Blumenthal, and the first of their kind to be served in Vancouver. Dinner for four is $140 and in very limited supply. Please email us at [email protected] to book your dinner. Menu after the jump…

About Wildebeest

Wildebeest invites you to experience unabashedly adventurous, yet simple cooking at its finest set against the history of the Vancouver neighbourhood of Gastown. Explore whole-animal cookery paired with a diverse selection of Old and New World wines and a carefully crafted cocktail list. Set in a refurbished 19th century building, the multi-level space offers a front house cocktail bar & lounge, open-concept kitchen complete with large kitchen tables, an inviting dining room with banquette seating, and an intimately-set underground wine bar.

The gastronomically daring menu focuses on whole-animal cookery prepared with the utmost integrity. Each and every component has been thoughtfully nurtured by the kitchen from field to finish. Working closely with surrounding farms and farmers to raise animals and grow custom produce, the team at Wildebeest has crafted a menu unlike anything yet explored in Vancouver.
