Eh! Restaurant
http://www.ehrestaurant.com/index.php
1050 Alberni St., 2nd Floor, Vancouver, British Columbia
(604) 568-9915

$32 for a 7-Course International-Fare Tasting Menu for Two ($65 Value)

The tasting menu includes the following dishes to share between two people:

  • Grilled focaccia bread with balsamic vinegar and olive oil
  • Coxinha, a Brazilian chicken appetizer
  • Five-spice yam fries with chipotle aioli
  • Vegetarian spring roll with mango chili sauce
  • Wild-mushroom ravioli with chorizo sausage and beef meatballs
  • Brazilian rice and beans
  • Choice of either a seafood plate with spicy prawns, grilled marinated calamari, and grilled salmon, or a meat plate with a marinated grilled chicken skewer and grilled steak

Eh! Restaurant is open Monday through Friday.

Morning is breaking over Eh! Restaurant’s rooftop garden as a chef busies himself plucking ripe, organic produce out from the verdant plots. Armed with an arsenal of produce, he retreats to the kitchen where the morning’s bounty will be transformed into a fresh feast to feed the evening dinner rush. The rooftop beds––bolstered by nutrients from the kitchen’s composted food waste––exemplify Eh! Restaurant’s dedication to fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

Firm believers in environmental sustainability, the staff works hard to set an example of eco-friendliness for their community, from packaging takeout orders in compostable containers to reading bedtime stories to area trees. Along with sprinkling dishes with veggies from the rooftop garden, the chefs make a point to architect dishes from ingredients found within 100 miles of the restaurant. Servers whisk plates forth from the kitchen piled high with dishes that boast international influences and flavours, such as Cajun spices, Mexican white corn kernels, and Brazilian-style chicken. Dappled with modern art and sleek, streamlined tables, the spacious dining room grants guests a peek into the open kitchen, where chefs and bartenders work their magic.

Nail technicians treat feet to a coat of polish along with a foot and calf massage, or spruce up hands with manicures, polishing fingernails with CND Shellac that can stay chip-free for up to 2 weeks. Clients may also choose to upgrade their 30-minute essential pedicures to 45-minute spa pedicures for an additional $5, with a choice between lemon-drop and almond-kiss scents.

Tired of going to several spas and salons for monthly nail services, waxing, and eyelash extensions, Christa Baumgartner founded Charisma Spa Lounge as a one-stop shop for these beauty treatments, drawing on her years of experience managing top hotel spas to create a five-star boutique atmosphere. Baumgartner hand-selected her team of certified and accredited technicians to pamper hands with chip-resistant CND Shellac or Essie polish manicures, feet with spa pedicures, and tentacles with smoothing paraffin wax. Technicians also whisk away unwanted facial and body hair with waxing services and frame peepers with full and partial sets of individually applied lashes.

FDA-approved laser system disrupts fat cells’ membranes, causing them to shrink & bodies to lose inches

During noninvasive LipoLaser treatments, laser paddles rest on problem areas, such as thighs, abs, or love handles. The laser light penetrates down to the fat cells, where it disrupts their membranes and causes them to release fatty acids and glycerol into the body. The body then flushes the fat cells’ contents away via the lymphatic system or burns them for energy. Following each treatment, clients lounge in an infrared sauna for 30 minutes, which helps further detoxify the body and burn calories.

Elegance Medi Spa’s cosmetic procedures entwine Eastern modalities with noninvasive Western technology. Using this mix, the staff of certified technicians can help patients vanquish flab with an FDA-approved LipoLaser, banish unwanted hair with laser hair-removal services using the Lightsheer XC diode laser, and fade discoloration with teeth whitening. No matter what aesthetic treatment patients choose, they first undergo a comprehensive consultation to discuss their concerns, goals, and favourite celebrity baby names.

Dew takes the cocktail class a step further, explaining step-by-step how to infuse spirits with the flavours of seasonal fruits and vegetables. Students will learn to manifest a “Beeting Heart” among other unique drinks, with some wafting hints of cucumber or blood orange. Dew also covers herb and fruit reductions and candied holiday cocktails. The Bar Chef program takes place on Monday nights from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Micah, Luch, and Alicia of Metropolitan Bartending School draw on over a decade of bartending chops apiece to impart the art of alcoholic alchemy. Students enrolled in at-home or comprehensive certification courses might recognize Micah Dew as the resident drinkspert of the Province newspaper, or remember his dazzling “Extreme Bartending” performance of juggling and fire-breathing for a stunned Rachel Ray. Between also working a bartending job five nights a week at The Roxy Vancouver, Micah lends industry-veterans Luch and Alicia a hand in leading a lineup of diverse classes and workshops. The sessions range from wine tasting seminars to Serving It Right certification, a legal necessity in British Columbia. All of these classes take place behind real bars at Metropolitan Bartending School’s facilities, equipped with the most commonly used liquor bottles, a POS training-mode system for running tabs, and an animatronic priest, rabbi, and minister.

Opera Pro Cantanti

As one of Canada’s only repertory opera companies, Opera Pro Cantanti is the pride and joy of founder, artistic director, and occasional soloist Richard Williams––a man who has led choirs performing for the Royal Family. The company’s aria-belters consistently rehearse a collection of staple operas, allowing them to perform a rotating schedule of classics year-round. In anticipation of Verdi’s 200th birthday in 2013, the singers are rolling out some of the composer’s finest works, including La Traviata, the inspiration for Moulin Rouge, and Rigoletto, the source of the light and dancing “La donna è mobile,” which has become the theme for stately scenes in pop culture and particularly fancy frisbee tournaments. Opera Pro Cantanti rounds out the season with cornerstone works from Bellini, such as I Capuleti e i Montecchi, a re-telling of Romeo and Juliet set amid the viciously warring factions of Venetian politics. Though the operas are big and the voices bigger, the performance space is quite intimate, with a homey atmosphere underlined by the singers’ traditional, handmade costumes.

Trips are available every Saturday in June, and every day starting July 7.

Starting out in 1980 with only four rafts, Hyak River Rafting has since acquired an armada of top-line vessels equipped to handle the orneriest river safely. During trips on Brtish Columbia’s most exciting rivers—the Chilliwack and the Thompson —licensed guides lead 4.5-hour day trips during which neophyte wave wizards learn to hit the throttle and manoeuvre around the grasping tentacles of feral octopi. Crew and guests get soaked as the water rages about them before more tempered waters allow them to take in the sights of rock-banked rivers populated by lush forests and curious wildlife. After everyone has worked up a hunger, the guide rows the boat ashore so all can shake the river out of their ears and refuel and relax with a healthy lunch. To further immerse their guests in the local splendour, the team also arranges overnight camping adventures.
