The GOODS from Wildebeest

Vancouver, BC | Wildebeest will help guests show — and share — their love by hosting a special Valentine’s Day dinner service in its intimate Gastown dining room on Thursday, February 14.

Created by Executive Chef Ian McHale, Wildebeest’s Valentine’s Day menu features a three-course feast that offers guests a choice of such indulgent dishes as Atlantic turbot with Salt Spring Island mussels, wild boar belly with burnt onion consommé and grilled bison flat iron. Each couple will also enjoy a Valentine’s dessert for two of dark chocolate mousse with espresso crumb, cocoa nibs and milk ice cream.

Tickets to Wildebeest’s Valentine’s Day dinner service — which also features such add-on enhancements as seared foie gras, spot prawns, scallops and butter-poached lobster — are $69 per person plus tax and gratuity, with special ‘Double Date’ tickets for four-tops available for $64 per person++. Optional 3 oz. and 5 oz. wine pairings selected by Wine Director Christina Hartigan are also offered for an additional charge.

Bar Manager Alex Black will also help get guests in the mood via a Valentine’s Day feature cocktail called ‘Hastings Club’. A lovers-friendly libation inspired by the ‘Clover Club’, Black’s unique spin on the classic cocktail mingles gin, orgeat, chocolate vanilla syrup, champagne vinegar and egg white and is finished with hibiscus dust.
