“Mom’s” the Word at Special Brunch & Dinner
      Sunday, May 13 at Trafalars Bistro

VANCOUVER, BC (April 16, 2007) Nicer than a heart tattoo with her name in it, Mother’s Day Brunch at Trafalgars Bistro starts with a cocktail of champagne and orange juice served with a fresh fruit cup and winds up with a take-away cello-wrapped cookie with “Mom” scrolled in edible icing.

In between, Chef Chris Moran’s all-day brunch menu comes with a choice of five main dishes. Highlights include crab salad and tropical salsa croissant sandwich, pancetta and snap pea frittata with Asiago cheese and black pepper crème fraiche or wild mushroom risotto with shaved Romano cheese and black truffle oil.

Dessert is a choice of “Chocolate obsession,” passion fruit flan or lemon dacquoise. Coffee or tea is included in the menu and the price is $35 per person ($28 without champagne) and $18 for a special Mother’s Day Brunch Kid’s Menu that includes a kid’s-size fruit cup, choice of three popular children’s entrees, dessert, and juice, pop or hot chocolate.

Open for Mother’s Day Dinner

Mother’s Day is the one Sunday each year that Trafalgars Bistro opens for dinner and reservations are needed that day for both brunch and dinner. From 5:00 pm on Sunday, May 13, the regular dinner menu will be available alongside a special feature menu.

Chef Moran’s “ode to mom” menu starts with a choice of seared giant sea scallop and a tomato tartare or Gorgonzola and walnut ravioli with apple butter emulsion. Entree choices include pan-roasted lamb sirloin and grilled baby romaine with pine nut gnocchi or seared smoked black cod with butternut squash and pea risotto. 

There is a choice of desserts as well, prepared by Sweet Obsession Cakes and Pastries - triple chocolate mousse cake, lemon dacquoise or passion fruit flan - followed by coffee or tea for $45 per person. A special wine taster menu is also available.
