Creative Talents Of ‘Elementa’ To Serve Special Dinner At Harkness, March 13th

Elementa20

The young, innovative chefs of Elementa are at it again. If you’re unfamiliar, they’re a group of toques who have worked (or are still working) in some of Vancouver’s better restaurants (eg. Bao Bei, Bishop’s, Savio Volpe, Wildebeest, etc). From time to time they flex their creative muscles by putting together special dinners showcasing local ingredients. Their 5th dinner is coming up next Sunday in East Vancouver. Buy tickets before they’re all gone!

Elementa is excited to announce our first event of 2016. With a new year and the first signs of spring sweeping across our region, we invite you to experience the final tastes of winter melding with the onset of the new season. This dinner will focus on pristine shellfish and crustaceans from the frigid winter waters as well as the last of vegetables from the root cellar mingling with the first wild and cultivated spring edibles. As always seats are limited so don’t miss out!

Sunday, 13 March | 7pm to 11pm | Harkness & Co. Butchers | 666 East Broadway

7 course tasting menu with beverage pairings, canapes, and petit fours | $120 | TICKETS
