Vista 18

As we watch Mother Nature change her mind every few minutes the staff find themselves talking about what they like to eat and drink at this time of the year, so I asked Sous Chef Mike Dunlop what he likes to make and here is favourite warm-up dish:

Tomato, Spinach & Feta Soup

2 large onions
1/2 head of celery
3 carrots
100oz Tin of Plum Tomatoes
1 box Chopped Spinach
1litre Vegetable Stock
2 cups Feta Cheese
Pinch of Thyme
Pinch of Oregano
Salt & Pepper to Flavour

Medium dice the vegetables, sweat them off.  Add tomatoes, vegetables stock and herbs. Simmer for 40-60 minutes.  Crumble feta in soup, add salt & pepper to taste.

Enjoy with a big piece of crusty sourdough.

Staying true to history, the mad rush is on to make plans for New Years Eve and here at Vista 18 it is no different. With a mouth watering menu and world class entertainment, it is sure to be a memorable evening. We do still have some space available and if you are interested in making reservations now is the time.

We are sold out for our 9PM and 9:30PM seatings but we do still have room for our 6:30Pm and 5Pm offerings. Our 5Pm seating is a 3 course $55 option that is perfect for some culinary delights prior to going out to celebrate the coming of 2012.

If you are looking to make some plans please contact Kevin Neilson directly at 250.361.5692.
