Vancouver, BC (March 28th, 2019) – As the seasons transition from earthy roots to tender shoots, Toptable Group’s chefs are crafting new springtime menus inspired by the bounty of fresh and local ingredients. Whether it’s line caught from the sea or handpicked from local farms, a season of bright new flavours to savour at our tables is finally here.

Dining in Whistler couldn’t be more timely with both Araxi Restaurant + Oyster Bar and Il Caminetto offering up their popular springtime prix fixe dinner menus. From April 22nd, enjoy a spectacular five-course menu prepared by Executive Chef James Walt. His stellar regional specialties, that celebrate nearby farms and waters, are ever-changing and at $37 per person, terrific value (Sundays through Thursdays). Over at Il Caminetto, Executive Chef James Walt’s re-imagined Italian dining room, a four-course prix fixe menu heralds the tradition of gathering family and friends around the table – $39 per person, Sundays through Thursdays. Begin the evening with a handcrafted cocktail or top it all off with a night cap at Bar Oso. All three unique dining experiences are truly worthy of the pretty drive up the Sea to Sky!

In the city, take advantage of West Restaurant + Bar’s springtime prix fixe promotion that showcases the best of the season – for lunch and dinner.
