The GOODS from The Parker

Vancouver, BC | The Parker is excited to launch this year’s spring menu. With the freshest produce from local curated farms starting to show up, Chef Felix has delivered a beautiful selection of tempting spring fare sure to lure any palate.

Watermelon, jade, and icicle radishes are made gorgeous nestled in kalamata olive soil ($12). Grilled asparagus with spring garlic, mustard emulsion and a perfectly poached egg ($15) are a beautiful complement to incoming Rosé season. They can sneak into the five course Chef’s Choice Menu ($35) along with the first heirloom tomatoes of the year and some off-the-cuff creations using foraged ingredients and fresh offerings from local farms. Cattails anyone?

Don’t miss the new cocktails on the bar and patio: The Eternal Sunshine makes bold promises with vodka, fresh sorrel and aloe juice garnished with vermouth-charged grapes. The Laura Palmer (pisco, red wine, cinnamon, and cayenne) is just dark and twisted enough to ensure you never lose your edge while The Fresh Egg Mart, a solemn hat tip to our Chinatown neighbours, is a twist on the cult classic New York egg cream—chocolate syrup, Rye, Fernet, and a salty pretzel. What? Yes. Yum.
