Bright, fresh and locally sourced ingredients highlight new B.C. Journey Menu

Celebrating the one year anniversary of Hawksworth Restaurant’s popular B.C. Journey Menu, the mouth-watering seven-course tasting menu welcomes fresh spring flavours and locally sourced ingredients to new spring menu.

“We’re delighted to present guests with an exciting, new spring B.C. Journey Menu, showcasing familiar ingredients in an innovative and creative way to excite the palate of each guest,” says Chef de Cuisine, Antonio Sotomayor. “Honouring both land and sea, the menu is a representation of B.C’s diverse and bountiful landscape of farm fresh ingredients.”

Presenting the highest quality of locally sourced ingredients from across the province, the B.C. Journey Menu showcases an array of polished and dynamic dish combinations. With a focus on bright and refreshing flavours, the menu begins with west coast dungeness crabto celebrate the turn of the season featuring notes of rhubarb and cherry blossom, served with an elderflower kombucha, followed by a beautifully plated bed of raw mushrooms, layered beneath grilled portobello mushrooms, accompanied by wild garlic, pine salt and a homemade crème fraîche. Continuing the culinary journey, guests enjoy a flavoursome smoked seaweed wrapped halibut perfectly paired with native seaweed, foraged greens and dashi broth. Typically served for special occasions, indulge in a crispy skinned and juicy suckling pig, presented alongside bright, colourful pickled vegetables and lovage oil, followed by a two-part spring lamb dish: guests can enjoy a lamb tenderloin and a perfectly cooked barbeque lamb rib with an aubergine puree.
