The GOODS from Latitude

Vancouver, BC | Latitude re-opened with a bang last week, revealing a new bar-forward menu, succinctly complementing the Latin American-inspired cocktails. Chef Lisa Henderson has expanded upon her already popular menu with a selection of Venezuelan & Colombian street food Arepas (stuffed white corn pocket, cooked on a hot grill until crispy featuring wild prawns with arugula and smoked paprika mayo; braised beef with black bean, queso blanco and tomatillo salsa; and chorizo with avocado and tomato confit – all $4 to $6).

Nick Devine is back behind the bar, turning up the heat with an authentic Latin cocktail list, “made the way they should be made” and a large selection of tequilas, including his own habenero-infused “no gringos” concoction – if you’re game! A good selection of regional beers and wines at affordable prices round out the bar list. Full food, wine and cocktail menus availavle at latitudeonmain.com.
