The GOODS from Wildebeest

Vancouver, BC | Wildebeest’s chefs and bartenders are stirring up another great dinner on Monday, July 10th featuring a four course menu paired with variations on a classic cocktail: The Old Fashioned. This mid-1800’s mainstay is traditionally spirit-forward and always built and slowly stirred, never shaken. Honouring these roots, this evening will offer modern interpretations using surprising liquors, assorted sweeteners, and fresh garnishes, resulting in lighter, playful and more refreshing takes.

Creating a proper Old Fashioned requires skill, attention, and an element that is often overlooked — time. Chef Alessandro Vianello’s menu plays off the origin of each base spirit creating a unique pairing between each dish and accompanying cocktail. This evening will feature the Old Fashioned like you’ve never seen it before.

Tickets are $97, all inclusive of menu, cocktails, taxes and gratuity.
