MARCH RESTAURANT SPECIALS

In the month of March 2025, Showcase Restaurant has a special Taste of BC 2-course menu offer. It includes your choice of either the 6 oz grilled beef tenderloin or charred steelhead & jumbo prawn entrée.

With this dinner special, the steak comes with caramelized pickled red onion, dauphinoise potato, baby carrot, gorgonzola foam and Aleppo chili jus. Its recommended wine pairing is Inniskillin’s Cabernet Sauvignon. The fish and prawn option, meanwhile, is served with a cilantro & lime sauce, beluga lentils, double smoked bacon jam, zucchini and fennel. It’s paired with the Inniskillin’s Pinot Grigio. The wines and entrée ingredients are all from BC. Everything is delicious!

The cost for the fish dinner is $54 and for the steak it’s $58. The wine pairings are $12, $16 or $40 depending on the glass size or if you want a bottle.

Both entrées also come with dessert for no extra cost. You can choose the white chocolate raspberry cake which includes macaron, vanilla sponge, raspberry gelee, white chocolate mousse, pistachio crumbs and berries. Alternatively, you can have the house-made ice cream & sorbet instead.

We tried both entrées and desserts the other day and everything was so good, as were the Inniskillin wines!

TIP: On Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays between 4:00 and 7:00 pm there is live music (which makes those extra special days for dining out at the restaurant).
