OMG great food at the fest
Oh my golly, the food at
V-fest was great!
It wasn't the burgers and dogs they were selling, it was the catering by
Rustico Fine Foods that we loved. We had VIP passes to the fest which we loved. We were on a viewing platform (see pic) and we saw the concerts with no heads blocking our view or any elbows or sweaty fans rocking the party next to us. It was all very civilized. The best part of the VIP treatment was the food catered by Rustico Fine Foods...oh, and the VIP
ferry.
Our menu on day one consisted of a lovely green bean dish with beef medallions,
jerk chicken and salmon in a coconut sauce and on day two we had a
tandoori chicken, roasted lamb and a chick pea salad and chick pea ratatouille-like dish. On both days there were lovely salads with vinaigrette dressing and
sweet potato chips - yum! All dishes were served with lovely mango and other
chutneys. I think there was more on the menu but will have to check with my partner in crime as she raved about the food as much as I did (and she has a better memory!)
I would definitely check out their catering services if you are looking for a caterer. I think we met
Andrew Underwood the executive chef and partner in the business... we told him how much we enjoyed our dinners on both days.
It was a great weekend and it's oh so nice when you get that extra special treatment and a fantastic meal!
The only thing was that we could not have any alcoholic drinks on the viewing platform - for reasons that I could not comprehend?!?
(I think there are too many health and safety laws in Canada) See pic. of Ranoush sneaking a sip of her beer. So wild and dangerous, non? ;)
A couple of posh sausages.
A drink from the trolley dolly and the pilots at Eastnor Airways?
Some honey?
Pies.
My favourite name for a restaurant. Sometimes I feel like I can hear Rexi saying this over my shoulder.
And last but not least, a germaphobe food (and toilet) inspector! Armed with lots of antibacterial hand gel and wet wipes, good for pre-meal cleansing.
