Vancouver, BC: If you’re one who wavers over a meal from the briny deep, or one from field and farm, you’ll find perfect contentment when COAST Restaurant dishes up Surf ‘n Turf. “We love treating our guests to fresh, spectacular fish and shellfish from around the world, and we’re excited to show how it can pair seamlessly with robust meaty flavours,” says COAST Restaurant Chef Jeremy Atkins.  

Rather than the classic ’60s combination of steak and lobster, Atkins puts a new spin on things by partnering the sweet crustacean with Australian Beef Short Ribs. Diners can also choose a main of local BC elk served with luscious Dungeness Crab Hollandaise. Matched with COAST’s suggested wine pairings, this is one Surf ‘n Turf diners won’t soon forget.
