Instead of gravitating towards a buffet meal like we usually do on Mother’s day, we opted for a relaxing dinner. It’s nice to have an ample selection of food and feast to your heart’s content, but on such a day, I find that sitting down and having quality conversations is more fulfilling than stockpiling your plate to get your money’s worth.
Scallops poached in butter
Rhubarb, Jerusalem artichoke, kale shoots
Roast fillet of Pacific halibut
Grapes, capers and thick cut fries
Ling cod with pork belly
Spot prawn cake, broccoli, peas
Steak Diane
Charred onions, potato fondant, peppercorn condiment
Ending the meal with some gelato from none other than Vancouver’s infamous Bella Gelateria. My personal favourite is the Torroncino flavour, but I ended up having Banana Bread and Salted Pecan… just as delicious.
