ABOUT THE FOOD
Take a seat at LOCAL, directly across from Kits beach. The restaurant’s lunch/dinner menu reps the best of the upscale-casual scene, serving common food done uncommonly well. The juicy burger sliders use sweet custard buns as end stops. The yam fries are married with a savory lemon truffle mayo and dusted with pecorino shavings. The Mediterranean Ahi tuna salad comes with goat cheese, avo and pine nuts.
If you come too late to order an entree from the restaurant, Nimby Burger can help. This diner within a restaurant slings retro double burgers and thick shakes until closing time.
On weekends, LOCAL’s brunch menu livens up classic brekkie staples. Try the banana pancakes, where sweet and sticky fruit topping is balanced with smoky bacon and rich toffee syrup, atop a robust stack of griddle cakes.
ABOUT THE DRINKS
LOCAL’s drinks menu runs deep. The bar keeps awesome local brews like Red Truck lager and Central City Red Racer on tap. The wine list features B.C. beauties including See Ya Later Gewurtz and Blasted Church Pinot Gris. The must-order cocktail here is the El Caeser. Van’s signature patio drink gets a zesty kick from Mexican hot sauce and is garnished with a pepporoni stick. Best of all, it’s served in a glass boot.
