Last week Yaletown’s newest hot spot debuted with a grand opening splash for media, foodies and friends. The Parlour Restaurant & Lounge has all the ingredients to become another homogenous Yaletown, thankfully it’s far from that. The interior design and decor stripped back the building to its bare bones, making it feel more Gastown than Yaletown. Upon entering the rustic space, a warm inviting bar welcomes guests, a perfect spot for a casual after work drink or meet up with friends and listen to the in-house DJ spin tunes Thursday to Sunday. Surrounding the raised bar is table seating and the open kitchen where guests can watch the chefs create their meal.
The menu specializes in unique handmade Woodstone oven fired pizza creations, tasty share plates and simple sandwich buns. At the opening event guests were treated to a selection of the menu’s highlights. Excellent fresh salmon tartare and surprisingly flavourful broccoli for starters and uniquely named pizzas with creative topping combinations.
– Five-O is The Parlour’s take on a hawaiian, #SWAG features Ricotta, Peppers, Olives, Onion, garlic topped with a drizzle of honey, Yaletown features Albacore Tuna sashimi with onion, avocado, jalapenos and a spicy aioli. –
Nothing on the menu is over $18, making another change over the typical higher budget Yaletown establishments, the daily $10 pizza and pop lunch special is sure to be a winner with the local residents and office crowd. Daily $5 or less bar specials add an extra incentive to stop in for a drink and stay for a bite.
Stop by The Parlour soon and have a taste for yourself.
