100 Days Opening

On Friday night August 27th,  I attended the opening party for 100 Days at the Opus Hotel in Yaletown.

Cocktails

Kobe Beef on potato crisp

Guests were treated to tasty cocktails, wine and tantalizing appetizers and dessert bites throughout the night.

This is Vancouver’s newest pop-up restaurant that will serve diners for 100 days. The talented chefs at One Hundred Days will dish up a tantalizing menu of urban diner meets Mediterranean cuisine, all inspired by the art surrounding them.

Graffiti Artist Vince Dumoulin

Graffiti artist Vince Dumoulin has transformed the room both inside and outside into a fun and colourful restaurant that exudes high energy and creativity. I caught him on camera as he was putting the finishing Graffiti touches on the outside of the restaurant as the party was underway.

I loved the menu on the large blackboards throughout the restaurant, the Graffiti bar, the DJ spinning and most of all the room on the corner of Hamilton & Davie with the large windows. One Hundred Days promises to be high energy and the most unexpected and thrilling dining experience to be found in Vancouver. After 100 days the restaurant will again be transformed into a new and exciting concept restaurant to open in early 2011.

Go for breakfast, lunch, dinner or late night, the restaurant is located inside the Opus Hotel at 322 Davie Street in Yaletown.

Lupo Opening

Last night was the opening party for Lupo, a new Italian Restaurant in Yaletown.  Lupo is located in a delightful turn of the century Heritage House, a contemporary kitchen that is serving fresh reinventions of Italian classics in a cozy, neighborhood environment.

Inside Dining Room

Upstairs Lounge/Dining Room

The Menu is rooted in familiar dishes and Italian favourites, but has a sense of adventure and extravagance that comes from Julio Gonzalez Perini’s (Executive Chef & Co-Founder) background in fine dining. Everything is created in-house –from hand rolled bread sticks to freshly ground sausage to pillowy pasta dough. Michael Mameli (Wine Director & Co-Founder) runs the Front of the House and is one of the most experienced Wine connoisseurs around.

I loved the ambience of both the upstairs and downstairs dining rooms and most of all loved the tantalizing flavours of the dishes that I tasted at the party, some of which you can see in these photos.

Lupo is now open and is located at 869 Hamilton Street in Yaletown.
