Vancouver, BC | With Olympic mayhem and meals served in tents now a distant memory, those looking to revel in local fare and fresh flavours at exceptional value can take refuge at Westend favourite, L’Altro Buca. For the next few weeks, chef Andrey Durbach is highlighting the arrival of springtime ingredients with a new menu featuring twenty items under twenty-five dollars, family-style dining options, and prix fixe price breaks. Diners can choose from items such as salad of king crab served with wild prawns, avocado and tomato and basil dressing; grilled asparagus served with housemade pork cheek bacon and poached egg, finished with Parmigiano Reggiano; handmade fazzoletti pasta with osso buco ragu and gremolata; roasted Rossdown Farms chicken served with olive oil mashed potato, lemon, rosemary, confit garlic and fresh baby artichokes.

About L’Altro Buca
L’Altro Buca is located in the former Parkside location in Vancouver’s beautiful west end. Owned and operated by the chef and business partner team of Andrey Durbach and Chris Stewart, L’Altro Buca is also an extension of the original La Buca in Kitsilano.
Dishes at L’Altro Buca are inspired by traditional Italian cuisine, where simple and rustic flavours take centre stage. Join us for a glass of prosecco at the bar, or a classic spaghetti on our lush outdoor patio.
