Local eateries have their tables set for November

Squamish is setting out the fine china for this month, and everyone is invited for dinner.

The eighth annual 'Sip and Savour' event is taking place until November 26, with local eateries offering curated menus, casual pairings and a wide variety of dining experiences.

This yearly celebration shines a spotlight on Squamish's culinary scene, with restaurants offering special menus that showcase the wide variety of options available.

Tourism Squamish's Communications & Stakeholder Relations Manager Nikki Johnston says she's excited about this year's event, which offers more participating venues than ever.

"This year, diners can explore the event in three different ways," Johnston says, noting there are "specially curated multi-course menus, casual food and drink pairings, or one-time ticketed culinary experiences."

While there are no menus specifically dedicated to kids, Johnston says this is the perfect opportunity for families to try out the new menu options together.

Seven venues are offering a multi-course dining line-up, including Autostrada Oyster Bar & Grill, The Broken Seal, Howe Sound Brewing, Lil Chef Bistro, Match Eatery & Public House, Pepe's Chophouse, and The Salted Vine Kitchen + Bar.

A further five establishments have special menu pairings of food and drink combinations throughout the event. These include The Backyard, Free Bird Table & Bar, House of Lager, Raincity Distillery and Tacofino.

Johnstone notes there are two ticketed events being offered this year.

November 13, Fergie’s will host a special dinner event with two seatings: a three-course menu at 5:30 p.m. and a four-course menu at 7:45 p.m. Both menus celebrate the roots of fusion cuisine, drawing on the vibrant Portuguese-Chinese flavours of Macau.
November 26, Bean & Co is hosting Slow n’ Low, a long table, family-style barbecue dinner featuring slow-smoked pork ribs and beef brisket, served with hearty sides. Tickets also include dessert and two drinks from the event menu.

"Whether it's revisiting a neighbourhood favourite or trying a newer restaurant, Sip & Savour is a great reason to get out and support the local dining scene in Squamish this November," Johnston says.

She adds that anyone coming from outside Squamish is encouraged to call ahead and reserve a spot at the restaurant of their choice, if they aren't attending a ticketed event.
