Taste of Yaletown is back for 2019 from October 17 – 27th, 2019. This is the 15th year showcasing the very best of Vancouver’s chefs as they present a unique set of cuisine, tasting plates and pairings for this distinctive festival.
WildTale is participating again with a decadent $45 3 course menu that will have you salivating. They specialize in fresh seafood with their coastal flavours.
We were invited by the Yaletown Business Improvement Association to check out the space and menu.
Appetizers
There are 3 appetizers to choose from kale salad, beef carpaccio or ahi tuna tostadas. All three appetizers I really enjoyed. Definitely a tie between the ahi tuna tostadas and the beef carpaccio. The sauces were so good.
ROASTED SQUASH & ORGANIC KALE SALAD
shaved pear, crumbled feta, pomegranate vinaigrette
BRANT LAKE WAGYU BEEF CARPACCIO
pickled shallots, shaved pecorino, horseradish aioli
FRANCISCO’S AHI TUNA TOSTADAS
corn tortilla, avocado crema, burnt salsa
Entrees
As for the entrees, there are also 3 to choose from – lamb, trout, and bolognese. Of the 3 options, I was surprised that I liked the trout the most. It was really tender and bursting with flavour.
PEACE COUNTRY LAMB DUO
roasted lamb sirloin, risotto of braised lamb shoulder Pinot noir jusor
CRAB & BRIE STUFFED STEELHEAD TROUT
rosemary whipped potatoes, buttered beans citrus & dill beurre blanc
BAKED VEGETARIAN BOLOGNESE MACARONI
porcini mushrooms, cauliflower, zucchini ragout roasted san marzano tomato sauce
Dessert
Ending off the evening with dessert is a nice finish. There is only one choice – the bittersweet chocolate tart. I wasn’t a fan of the crust but the mousse was delicious.
BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE TART
caramel & chantilly cream
Final Thoughts
For the Taste of Yaletown 2019 $45 menu at WildTale, it is a solid menu. My favourite dishes of the evening are the beef carpaccio, ahi tuna tostada, trout, and lamb.
