VCC culinary school is one of my favorite lunch spots and, definitely on my list of best lunch deals. It is delicious, cheap and usually booked up a week in advance. It took many attempts to get a table of 6. Apparently the buffet needs to be booked 2 months in advance. Yea, it’s that good.
What I love about culinary school’s or cooking schools is that they make everything from scratch, no processed shortcuts.
Appies…
Charred Vancouver Island Octopus, Chorizo and chick pea stew $4. A damn good deal! It was good and the portions were similar to Hawksworth entrée sizes.
Roasted vegetable soup was hearty and healthy $2.50
Salmon, prawn and scallion cake with Thai lemongrass sauce $4 had a nice layering of flavors.
Entrees…
Scallops with truffled potato gnocchi and crispy artichokes $10. This creamy dish was very filing. My friend who can usually eat for 2 was full. I would have preferred if the gnocchi had more buoyancy, it was too soft.
Slow cooked leg of lamb and pan roasted loin, rosemary jus $10. The meat was tender and flavourful. It’s $10 for lamb and loin!
I had to call attention to the sides, Cucumber and squash was pretty and delicious.
