The GOODS from Au Comptoir

Vancouver, BC | With 2017 on the horizon, Au Comptoir is inviting guests to join in the joie de vivre as it ushers in the new year by offering a pair of exclusive, four-course dinners on Saturday, Dec. 31 that showcase the acclaimed Kitsilano neighbourhood bistro’s classic, Paris-by-way-of-West-Coast fare.

Au Comptoir co-owners Maxime Bettili and Julien Aubin are pleased to offer New Year’s Eve revellers seating options between 5:30 and 6:15 p.m or 8:00 and 8:45 p.m., available for $95 per person plus tax and gratuity.

Highlights of Executive Chef Dan McGee’s sumptuous French-inspired menu include ‘bavarois de panais’ (parsnip mousse, compressed apple, walnut, caramelized honey, Kir Royale), ‘ballotine de saumon fumé’ (house smoked salmon ballotine, beets, crème fraîche, horseradish, parsnip chips), ‘faisan rôti’ (roasted pheasant breast, pithivier, salsify, spinach, morel sauce), among others, as well as a dessert course of ‘déclinaison autour du chocolat’ (hazelnut chocolate layer cake, cocoa bean infused ice cream and mandarin chocolate tart) by Pastry Chef Franck Buiron.
