The GOODS from Opus Bar & La Pentola

Vancouver, BC | OPUS Hotel is gearing up for a fun and festive holiday season: La Pentola has a range of seasonal menus that are perfect for sharing family-style with friends and OPUS Bar is the hottest place to get the party started with a creative cocktail.

This December, make a yuletide toast at OPUS Bar and sip a spirited cocktail like The Variation, made with Tanqueray, maraschino, Crème Yvette, pressed lemon and lavender; or the Little Chile with pisco, Campari, fresh citrus, egg white and orange blossom water.

“The holidays are a time for celebrating with family and friends and we’re thrilled to be a part of this special time of year,” says La Pentola’s Chef Travis McCord. “Our Christmas and New Year’s Eve menus combine indulgence with imagination to offer an Italian inspired feast for the festive season.”

About La Pentola

Rustic Northern Italian inspired cuisine at La Pentola inside OPUS Hotel. Simple, handmade pasta and traditional nose-to-tail meat and fish dishes served family style are the focus of this award-winning Vancouver restaurant.

“La Pentola is inviting and warm. Ditto the service. The food is rustically elegant, a distillation of real Italy and the food is similar to their northern Italy-based La Quercia and La Ghianda offerings – they zero in on great ingredients and capture the Italian soul. Their pilgrimages and work experience in ‘Slow Food’ Italy is evident”. Mia Stainsby, The Vancouver Sun

Hip coffee hang out by day, complete with cozy fireplace and serpentine style royal blue banquettes, OPUS Bar transforms into a sexy and sophisticated space at night. Thursdays through Saturdays DJs spin classic old-school hiphop and 90s beats to a laid-back crowd at the intimate bar.

Timeless and reinvented cocktails ($13-16) are offered alongside an impressive wine list and a select beer program. Guests of OPUS Bar will enjoy cocktails complemented by bar bites from Chef Travis McCord of the hotel’s award winning restaurant La Pentola. Creamy burrata, zesty shrimp tartines, grilled cheese sandwiches and charcuterie or cheese boards ($8-32) make for perfect night-time nibbles. All of this while industry host and General Manager Leo Wondergem expertly conducts service in the room.
