VANCOUVER — Boulevard Kitchen & Oyster Bar is kicking off its 10th-anniversary celebrations with its 2024 Seafood Boil, taking place this year on August 17 and 18.
In partnership with Fanny Bay Oysters, Fresh Ideas Start Here and Noble Ridge Vineyard & Winery, this annual event has two seating times available (5 p.m. and 8 p.m.) each day and tickets include a complimentary glass of sparkling wine upon arrival and a curated menu using the freshest local seafood.
“I’ve stayed close with the Boulevard team over the years and it has been a joy to witness the many successes of the restaurant since its opening in 2014,” says Lisa Haley, newly appointed executive general manager of Boulevard Kitchen & Oyster Bar. “I’m thrilled to be returning as executive general manager as we approach this landmark anniversary. We’re full of ideas and can’t wait to bring them to fruition, with this being the first of several immersive culinary experiences planned.”
Earlier this year, at the helm of executive chef Roger Ma, Boulevard Kitchen & Oyster Bar earned the 22nd spot in the list of Canada’s 100 best restaurants.
“I’m incredibly proud of the team’s achievement with our inclusion in Canada’s top 100 list this year, especially with this being such a milestone year for Boulevard. It’s always an honour to be recognized, and more importantly, it’s a testament to our continued commitment to excellence,” says Ma. “The Seafood Boil has become one of our most beloved annual traditions at Boulevard over the last 10 years, with our guests always looking forward to it. Collaborating with our good friends from Fanny Bay Oysters, Fresh Ideas Start Here and Noble Ridge Vineyard & Winery will make this year extra special along with the return to our roots by using the long table communal format.”
Following the summer celebration, Boulevard has organized a number of fall events, including the cocktail evening party on October 3 and daily feature menu series from October 4 to 9 created by executive chef Ma, executive chef Alex Chen and executive pastry chef Kenta Takahashi. To complete the series, the restaurant will host an alumni dinner on October 10.
