The GOODS from Ubuntu Canteen

Vancouver, BC | On Monday, October 21st, after a brief summer hiatus, Ubuntu Canteen is bringing back their monthly dinner series, Farm to Table, Farm to Bottle.

This month they will be pairing Sakes from Namino Oto Sake Brewery, with a local, organic and thoughtful multi-course menu from Chef David Gunawan.
