Camille's Restaurant

Last night was the inaugural night of a little Gastronomic club my wife and I have started. Camille's was the first place chosen and its classic West coast style food that they offer. It's at the corner of Bastion Square and Langley and you have to go down stairs to enter into it. Once inside, the quirky decor will win you over.

My wife had the Winter Mushroom Papardelle (House Smoked Pappardelle, Black Trumpet & Hedgehog Mushrooms, Oyster Fritters) and the Spruce Butter poached Pheasant ("Potato Pave", Quince Mostarda, Maple Vinegar Roasted Winter Squash, Quince Jus). I had the five course tasting menu (Tomato bisque, gizzard mousse, poached cod, lamb and chocolate mousse). The other three had the seafood bisque and either the duck of pheasant.

My wife and I have been here before over the last baker's dozen years and this experience will still keep us coming back for more.
