“The most memorable meal on this Vancouver visit was lunch at West.”
Seattle Times, 2010
“Every dish is magical and certainly distinctive to the seasonal offerings of Vancouver. Gremolata’s picks? We love the “West” Seafood Chowder with its innovative lemon cleansing finish and the filet of smoked sablefish “en papillote” with fresh uni shitake mushroom salad and smoked tea broth. Both dishes are truly divine for their ability to provoke discussion at the table. The clear signs of a creative chef executing brilliance.”
