The GOODS from Blacktail

Vancouver, BC | Gastown’s Blacktail invites guests to experience an unforgettable evening of gastronomic adventure as Chef Geoff Rogers of Blacktail (Vancouver), Chef Nick Nutting of Wolf in the Fog (Tofino), Chef Cam Dobranski of Brasserie and Wine Bar Kensington (Calgary), Chef Murray McDonald of Fogo Island Inn (Newfoundland) and Chef Scott Vivian of Beast Restaurant (Toronto) sharpen their knives for The Love Of GAME dinner. On Thursday, March 19 at 7pm, these Canadian culinary masterminds join forces to create a one-time-only six-course menu with an exclusive focus on game meats, matched with cocktails, craft beer and local wine pairings.

Guests will experience an inventive and cutting-edge menu, as these leading chefs bring their distinct styles and favourite regional flavours to the table. To begin, guests are welcomed with canapés and a cocktail at Blacktail Lounge, and then make their way upstairs to the dining area. The five chefs then present one course each, showcasing their region’s finest wild bounty. For a sweet finish, the chefs will combine their creative power to create a buffet spread of tantalizing desserts.

A portion of ticket sales will be donated to Food Banks Canada, which helps support a network of over 500 food banks across the country. The organization leads national initiatives that assist Canadians in need of essential food, and also finds long-term solutions for hunger that will reduce the need for people to use food banks in the future.

Tickets for this event are limited and on sale for $175 per person, including tax and gratuity. Guests will enjoy a reception cocktail and canapés followed by a six-course menu. Each course is paired with either local wine, beer or a cocktail featuring spirits from The Liberty Distillery and Odd Society. Purchase your ticket here.

About Blacktail

Tucked among Gastown’s trademark brick buildings, Blacktail shines a spotlight on some of BC’s overlooked and most humble ingredients. Wild edibles are the inspiration behind daily dishes, while a range of thoughtfully selected wines by the glass and bottle showcase the best varietals from our region.

Outdoor meets indoor in the welcoming, woodland-inspired interior designed by studio Ste. Marie and guests are encouraged to unwind over an adventurous and satisfying meal in a delicate and warm setting.

The name Blacktail represents the restaurant’s commitment to wild, local, beautifully curated food. Representing the masculine spirit, the name Blacktail is taken from an indigenous deer primarily found on the West Coast, which speaks to the rough and wild ingredients incorporated into the dishes. Symbolizing the feminine, the word evokes a gatherer of flowers and organic materials, who arranges these items in playful and attractive ways.

Blacktail offers an approachable and appealing wine list, guiding guests through a modern collection of notable and rare local varietals that complement flavours and aromas from the kitchen.

Blacktail’s interior design draws its inspiration from BC’s wild natural beauty. Vancouver designer Craig Stanghetta of Ste. Marie Art + Design invites us to escape to the forest, using organic and natural materials to evoke the comfort and freshness of a floral woodland grove. The minimalist space is lined with grand art deco windows containing built in vitrines; gently frosted, they house wild blossoms and other oddities. Guests dine among fresh living greenery and warm indigenous woods softly lit by custom, handcrafted lighting by Good Animal that cascade from the restaurant’s ceilings and walls.

“Don’t go to Blacktail looking for a spring arrangement. For food made from the best B.C. has to offer, however, this Gastown eatery should be your next dining destination.” — Anya Levykh, WE Vancouver, April 24, 2014

“Open since April, Blacktail knows its greens—and proteins, too. The Vancouver restaurant boasts share plates aplenty, all conceptualized by executive chef and co-owner Jimmy Stewart (previously of Top Chef Canada and Whistler’s Bearfoot Bistro).” — Katie Nanton, NUVO Magazine, May 25, 2014
