We are back with the third edition of our beloved Taste Our Travels dining series. Available from January 22 to February 9, 2025 as part of Dine Out Vancouver’s Tasty Events program, guests can experience a special seven-course menu for two by executive chef Rafael Racela – all inspired by our team’s recent visit through Spain’s Basque region and Cantabria.
We had the opportunity to visit as many small pintxo bars as possible, amazing world-renowned restaurants, and some small seaside spots. We even visited Asador Etxebarri, currently #2 on The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2024 list – a five hour experience that we all agree was the best meal of our lives. Other trip highlights include a visit in a small town in the hills above San Sebastien, a meal at the famous steakhouse Casa Julián de Tolosa, known for its Basque Txukleton steaks, and pintxo bars such as Ganbara, Bar Nestor, Bar Sport, Borda Beri, Gure Toki, and Cafe Bar Bilbao.
Exploring different parts of Spain has been incredible, and it’s exciting to bring that inspiration back to Como. This time, we discovered some of the simplest yet most exceptional food and ingredients we’ve ever had in Spain. This year’s Taste Our Travels menu features seven tapas-style dishes inspired by our favourite eats. Optional beverage pairings are available for an additional $65 per person.
