Boulevard Kitchen and Oyster Bar

The Sutton Place Hotel in Vancouver offers a one-­two punch with the co-­location of Boulevard and The Gerard Lounge. Gerard offers a throwback to old English clubs with large leather chairs and dark wood trim while Boulevard emits a light and airy feel. The bar program­ run by award-winning bartender Justin Taylor, showcases a beautiful balance between old favourites and locally inspired creations. May I also recommend an order of the chicken wings to accompany your cocktail? Trust me, you won’t regret it.
