,  let me push a few secret culinary doors open for you.  It's windy, raining and grey, but Vancouver has some super tasty and fun ideas to chase the clouds away for a great night out eating and drinking, here's a few suggestions. 

#1 The Key Party 

It doesn't look like a bar, but go in through the fake accounting office facade anyway. Try the jello shots, they are so fun.  Reminds me a bit of being lost on a Twin Peaks set.

#2 Pst... do you know the password? Find the Happy Valley Turf Club in Chinatown, enter the betting shop and place a wager on “King Louie” and you'll be let into a secret cocktail bar called Bagheera's 

#3 Swallow Tail's Secret Menu 

Chefs work best when unencumbered by rules:)  You choose the culinary theme and our rotating cast of star chefs create a multi-course secret menu just for your group. Ingredients could be foraged, smoked or torched, but they won't be boring! The secret location is in mount pleasant (to be given just before arrival), parties of 12+ only, private room, BYOB (wine pairing suggestions available).    Great for holiday parties, you can choose the food theme and we work from there.  Catering option too. Email us for details.

Or just grab a few friends, a bottle of wine and come to our secret supper club for a one time only pop-up dinner this winter!

My young self is holding the largest cauliflower mushroom that I've ever had the privilege to cook.  Great in soups the mushroom when chopped up has a similar texture to tasty al dente noodles with a floral aroma too.  It's one of my favs.  To learn more, come to a class...

WILD Mushroom Classes are on until the mushrooms are gone which last year was well into December!  To learn how to safely and sustainably harvest wild edible mushrooms like hedgehog, chanterelle, lobster and cauliflower mushrooms come out with one of our myco-guides and learn the ropes.  Weekend classes book up fast.
