Summary: A local favorite for creative small dishes.
Published on Main stands out as a culinary gem, crafting a menu of small plates that encourages diners to construct their own dining experience. Each dish, with deceptively simple names like 'chicken liver' and 'albacore', is a testament to the chef's commitment to intricate preparation and local sourcing. The restaurant takes pride in its intimate connection with the British Columbian landscape, with the chef himself foraging and sourcing ingredients from nearby producers. The wine list complements the menu's ethos, emphasizing natural and low-intervention wines available by the glass. The team's timing in harnessing produce at its peak is impeccable, whether it's presented fresh on the plate or preserved in jars that also serve as decor. The contemporary dishes are both comforting and novel, embodying the essence of the season and delivering unexpected flavor combinations. The asparagus with brown butter crouton and sauce gribiche, for instance, captures the freshness of spring, while the side-striped prawns with apple, cucumber, and horseradish offer a refreshing sweet-tart profile. Even the roasted halibut surprises with a lush, buttery broth that defies expectation. Published on Main provides a dining experience that is both familiar and full of surprises, all within a retro-chic setting that reflects its inventive culinary approach.
