Chefs Robin Kort & Chelseah Compton will be weaving their cultural Christmas traditions into a celebration of winter food and turning Xmas dinner on it’s head. For this menu, we may be playing with hand harvested ingredients like porcini, chicken of the woods, crab, oysters, smoked salmon, smoked mussels, popweed, fig leaves and lots more.  Eight courses + our sommeliers juniper, fig leaf spiked mulled wine for your dining pleasure. Long table seating at a secret location in Mount Pleasant. BYOB, wine pairing list available upon request.

I smoked some Salt Spring Island mussels with alder wood and marinated them in olive oil and brandy for the dinner!

DETAILS 

8 Courses + drink = 179

Ps. If you are a crab lover you can substitute a course with a stuffed crab add on at checkout. If I can get Red rock crab as it will look glorious with it's bright red Xmas shell.

What mushrooms am I seeing pop up this week? 

Edible lions mane mushrooms are almost never found in the wild, but I have one lucky spot! Hericium is the genus and you are more likely to find it's cousin the delicious edible comb tooth mushroom in the forest. If you want to learn more about these and of course mushrooms that are easier for beginners to ID come out for a Wild Mushroom 101 class with us on the North shore till late fall.
