If you are still thinking about what to do for a New Year’s celebration, Provence Marinaside in Yaletown is offering a fantastic option. Here is their press release.
~~~~~~~~~~
(Vancouver, BC) – The classic song asks “What are you doing New Year’s Eve?” There are so many options out there it’s hard to choose, however one that is worthy of consideration is the three-course Prix Fixe New Year’s Menu at Provence Marinaside priced at a very budget-friendly $80/person with an optional three-course wine pairing for $70. This is one of the best deals in Vancouver with a menu that doesn’t scrimp on quality – feast on dishes such as Seared Hokkaido Scallops, Beef Tenderloin, Rack of Lamb or Sablefish with Black Truffle accompanied by thoughtfully selected French wines. If three courses seems too much, then there is also a special à la carte menu which can be viewed here.
“It’s been a difficult year for a lot of people and money is tight,” says Provence Owner/Executive Chef Jean-Francis Quaglia. “We wanted to create something elegant where people could indulge but at an affordable price.”
