Feast<\/a><\/strong> is located on Marine Drive right above Dundarave Park in West Vancouver, sharing the same block with a small fleet of\u00a0neighbourhood\u00a0eateries. When the weather is warm, all the restaurant patios are extremely popular and the one at Feast is no exception.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The interior design shows a\u00a0Pacific Northwest vibe with a lot of wood and warmth, a combination of rusticness and elegance. The long table in the centre\u00a0reminded me a grand dining hall at the heritage cabin that I visited in the woods in Pembleton.<\/p>\n

We first cheered to such a beautiful evening with a couple of the\u00a0Smokey Feast Caesar <\/strong>($12), which we came here for. As a media judge for the Best Caesar Challenge<\/a>, I had the pleasure of tasting 8 bloody caesar and this was caesar no.8.<\/p>\n

Bar manager Cale, who moved here from Brisbane, had put in a great effort showcasing the smokiness of the drink, with\u00a0one of his homemade rub for the rim and a dash of bbq sauce. Then He topped it off with Sebastian & Co beef jerky, house dried salted zucchini chips and green Castelvetrano smoked olive. The Feast Caesar is just one of the signature cocktails designed by Cale, having drawn ideas from classics but with a\u00a0bit of a bang of bold flavours.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To go with our Caesar cocktails, we ordered the Mixed Fries<\/strong> ($15). There was no potato in the “fries” – instead, we found buy tramadol overnight <\/a> slices of avocado and beet lightly bread and deep fried tempura style, drizzled with a honey dressing and topped with crumbs of goat cheese. This is probably one of the most elegant takes\u00a0on bar food. Fried avocado has definitely replaced fried cauliflower for me with the luscious texture underneath the crispy exterior.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We also tasted one of the mains on their dinner menu, the Mushroom & Tea Crusted Biso Tenderloin<\/strong> ($32), on a bed of house made potato gnocchi and finished with a demi glaze. \u00a0Like the Mixed “Fries”, this\u00a0rustic sounding dish was refined on different levels, the composition, the flavours, and the textures. \u00a0The bison tenderloin was perfectly cooked and incredibly tender, doing justice for such a fine ingredient.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The meal was completed with a sweet ending, the Coconut Panna Cotta<\/strong> ($10).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Feast is your ideal\u00a0neighbourhood\u00a0restaurant – elegant but also cozy. The food is rustic but also with a good amount of refinement. The avocado fries are to die for, and probably next big thing after cauliflower fries. And the bison tenderloin is one of best wild game dishes I have had in a while. As some might find Dundarave a little far, but I think it’s totally worth the trip for a special occasion.<\/p>\n
