PAELLA DAYS: BOULEVARD KITCHEN & OYSTER BAR ANNOUNCES 2017 DATES FOR SUNDAY PAELLA SERIES

 

 

Popular Dinner Series Returns to Restaurant’s Elegant Dining Room this March, April

 

Boulevard Kitchen & Oyster Bar will once again conjure up the rustic flavours of Spain’s national dish with the return of its popular Sunday Paella Series, set to take centre stage in the restaurant’s elegant dining room in the heart of downtown Vancouver this March and April.

 

Beginning on March 5 and continuing Sundays throughout March and April, Executive Chef Alex Chen and team will serve up a three-course menu featuring paella — with Pacific octopus, local clams and mussels, prawns, chorizo sofrito, saffron and shellfish stock — as the centerpiece of each communal, Spanish-inspired feast. Boulevard’s Sunday Paella Series is one of several family-style suppers hosted by the restaurant each year, which transitions to their wildly popular Seafood Boils in the summertime followed by their “Pig & Pinot” nose-to-tail feasts in the fall.

 

“We’ve been thrilled with the response to our communal Sunday Supper Series events in the past,” says Boulevard Director of Operations Steve Edwards. “These events provide an opportunity for us to showcase something different from Chef Alex and team, and for friends old and new to gather together over a beautiful, family-style meal.”
