H Tasting Lounge and H2 Rotisserie & Bar Unveil New Menus for Fall

Small plates, hearty mains, a “Happier” Happy Hour, and more are here to complement the season

The Westin Bayshore’s H Tasting Lounge and H2 Rotisserie & Bar are lively urban oases that hotel guests and city dwellers alike have come to know for imaginative cuisine, stellar cocktail programs, and expertly curated selections of local craft beers, wines and spirits. H and H2 continue to shine brightly in the fall, when patrons seek to be spoiled and sated in a warming, welcoming environment. Combining familiar favourites and adventurous new creations, H and H2 proudly unveil their fresh fall menus, promising something to entice everyone who visits.

H Tasting Lounge
Named for aviation legend Howard Hughes, H’s art-deco interior and international menu are a tribute to the decadence of Hughes’ heyday and his globetrotting adventures. Chef Alex Mok has created a new roster of Asian- and European-inspired small plates that spotlight local, sustainable ingredients, including a poké taco of Oceanwise ahi tuna, mango salsa, and crispy wonton; Sicilian olives marinated in jalapeno, garlic, and citrus; Kushiyaki grilled skewers (soy-sake chicken, ginger-garlic beef, and cumin lamb); and Bayshore oysters baked with pancetta, mushroom, celery, and wasabi mayo. For groups (or the decision-averse), the “Tasting Tour” delivers four diverse dishes for only $49. And from 7 to 9pm daily, H’s “Happier Hour” offers a selection of savoury temptations beginning at only $4, plus $5 beer and wines, $8 signature cocktails made with premium spirits, and a bartender’s choice sparkling of the day. Fan favourites like the Baked Alaska and Crêpes Suzette will stick around, along with the ever-popular afternoon tea service, available on weekends from 12 to 5pm.

H2 Rotisserie & Bar
Renowned for its home-style comfort food and dedication to promoting local breweries, distilleries and wineries (including many selections on tap), H2 heralds the arrival of fall with chef Caitlin Mark’s hearty new indulgences — as well as lighter fare — for both lunch and dinner. In addition to long-time favourites (including H2’s incomparable organic Maple Hill Farms rotisserie chicken), the restaurant introduces new items, including certified Angus beef carpaccio; the ‘Beyond Delicious’ burger (made with the Beyond Meat vegetarian patty); ‘Flex for Me’ Vancouver Island mussels (steamed in BC’s own Howling Moon Dry Apple Cider); Oceanwise Pacific King salmon and Pacific ling cod; all-new desserts; and much more.
