News from Scout supporter Cru Restaurant

Vancouver, BC | Epicureans have more reasons than ever to visit neighbourhood favourite CRU Restaurant. CRU now offers a fresh new small plates menu, an updated wine list, plus the three-course Prix-fixe for only $38 all summer long.

CRU just won the Best Small Plates category in the Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards for the second year in a row. Inspired by this prestigious win, CRU is launching new seasonal menus, offering guests a variety of exciting new flavour combinations. The Small Plates menu will still feature favourites like the Crispy Duck Confit and the crowd-pleasing “Cellar Door” Caesar, but guests can also try intriguing new dishes like…

Chilled Octopus Salad, ponzu Asian slaw, sweet chili sauce
BC Spot Prawns Salad, lemongrass-infused melon, passion fruit jalapeño vinaigrette
Pan-seared Qualicum Bay Scallops, on lentils and pancetta, with lime aioli
Grilled Local Asparagus, lemon mascarpone and a soft-poached egg

CRU’s Prix-fixe menu continues to be an amazing value at $38 per person. Guests will, however, be faced with the daunting task of deciding which option to select for each course. Starters include

Beef Tenderloin Carpaccio with caper berries, truffle aioli and shaved parmesan
Citrus-cured Roasted Sablefish creamed leeks and oven-dried tomato

Deciding on a main course is equally challenging:

Baked Ricotta Flan – puy lentils with grilled, marinated & pickled vegetables
Roasted Pork Loin – crushed potatoes, oloroso sherry morel cream
Pan-seared Halibut – brandade croquette, vegetables “a la greque”

And, finally, the diner is faced with choosing a sumptuous dessert item:

The “Grand Cru” Chocolate Torte – vanilla sour cream mousse, thyme & sour cherries
Little Goat Cheese Cake – citrus sablé, port-stewed rhubarb
Basil & Lemon Semifreddo with white chocolate ganache and fresh berries
