Burdock & Whoa

As mom always said, "Eat your vegetables."

We’ll do just that with pleasure at Chef Andrea Carlson’s new venture Burdock & Co., which features a veggie-forward menu with a heavy serving of local ingredients. To that end, the dishes will change with the season, but get there soon to experience the current highlights: fresh oysters with finger lime caviar; halibut with braised spring radish and hop shoots; and fire roasted green farro with spruce tips, black garlic and sorrel.

And it’s not just the food that is rustic yet refined – the flavours are complemented by a naturalist wine list from Matthew Sherlock and cocktails by bartender Lauren Mote, while the 30-seat room is a mix of vintage decor and salvaged materials

Finish our plate? We’re way ahead of you, mom. Laura Cropper
