Ugly Duckling

Our tasting menu is an individualistic, seasonally-driven experience celebrating Vancouver Island and paying homage to our Chinatown home. The menu is constantly evolving --dictated by the seasons, the farmers, and the whims of the culinary team. While most dietary restrictions can be accommodated, due to the intimate nature of our kitchen, we are unable to fulfill requests for sesame, soy, or finfish allergies. For all other dietary restrictions, we request 48-hours advance notice so that we can prepare to welcome you. The tasting menu is 6-plus courses, priced at $112, and we encourage guests to set aside two-and-a-half hours to fully enjoy the experience.

Join us for one special evening where we host six winemakers from prestigious estates in Bordeaux! For one night only, Ugly Duckling will play host winemakers from six prestigious Bordeaux chateaux! The menu will feature seven stunning back-vintage wines that are rarely available in the Canadian market; enjoyed alongside five beautiful courses of Ugly Duckling's signature Chinatown-inflected Vancouver Island cuisine. This is a rare opportunity to discover stunning French wines while enjoying a very special tasting menu from one of Vancouver Island's most celebrated and pioneering culinary teams! The event starts at 6:00pm with dinner served at 6:30pm. This is a ticketed event, limited to 25 guests.
