Holiday Parties, Gift Inspiration and More From Mt. Pleasant’s Burdock & Co.

The GOODS from Burdock & Co.

Vancouver, BC | Winter is almost here, which means it’s time to start planning for the Holidays and New Year’s! Whether you’re searching for an atmospheric locale for the office holiday party, or seeking an intimate space to close out the year with the apple of your eye, Burdock & Co’s dining room and family-style dinners will elevate your holiday feasts from decent to dazzling.

Ethically sourced and farm-to-table, Burdock & Co’s menu transforms with the seasons, providing diners with fresh, approachable fare meant to be enjoyed by everyone at the table. Each beautifully presented dish tells a story of the local artisans and growers who harvested its ingredients, and patrons can rest assured that everything on their plate is sustainable and from nearby farms. The

mouthwatering menu is complemented by key components to any holiday gathering: an award-winning natural wine list as well as craft beer and cocktails. The eatery’s weekend brunch – recognized as the best in the city in the 2018 Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards – invites friends and family to escape the cold and indulge in daytime favourites like vegan avocado smash, French pancakes and rice congee.

Burdock & Co’s sleek space is perfect for hosting small holiday parties and special occasions for up to 34 guests; seating includes a central communal table, and five seats each at the kitchen and cocktail bars. To ensure guests leave buzzing about their unforgettable experience, organizers can ramp up the fun with add-ons like sparkling wine and canapé service, raw oyster bar or edible gift bags. Consider incorporating an experiential component with a guided wine tasting led by Michael Hiram, Burdock & Co’s general manager and seasoned sommelier ($300 additional charge). Whatever your pleasure, Burdock & Co’s talented staff can accommodate either full or half buyouts with the latter beginning at 8:00 p.m. For more details, as well as availability and pricing structure, please contact [email protected].

Get ahead of holiday gifting with the perfect stocking stuffer, hostess gift or Secret Santa giveaway: Burdock & Co: Poetic Recipes Inspired by Ocean, Land and Air, an exquisitely presented collection of Chef Andrea Carlson’s favourite recipes. Named among the Top 10 Fall Cookbooks in Chatelaine, the book is an alluring ode to the coastlines, forests, valleys and farms of the Pacific Northwest, with stunning photos and hypnotizing language. A seamless combination of cookbook and coffee table art piece, the book costs $35, and is available at online retailers and bookstores across Canada.

The fun doesn’t stop at the Holidays! On New Year’s Eve, Burdock & Co will offer seatings for quick fun or leisurely decadence. Revellers with post-dinner plans can book an early meal at either 6:00 p.m. or 6:30 p.m., and graze on light fare before continuing their journey ($79 per person, plus tax and gratuity). Merrymakers keen to settle in for a night of feasting can book the second seating at 8:30 p.m. or 9:00 p.m., where a grand culinary adventure awaits ($119 per person, plus tax and gratuity). Ticket prices include food only; wine pairings are available at an additional cost. Space is limited, so scoop up your ticket well in advance on Eventbrite, or by calling 604.879.0077.

A Burdock & Co will remain open throughout most of the holiday season, though will be closed December 25 and 26, as well as January 1 and 2.
