What happens when Vancouver’s Chef Makoto Ono (PiDGiN) partners with Chef Grant van Gameren of Toronto’s Bar Isabel? A mighty explosion of super-flavours! And one that Vancouver palates have never experienced before.

On Wednesday, May 7th – for one night only – these two magnificent taste creators are collaborating for an evening of gastronomic delights, exclusively for Visa Infinite cardholders, and as part of the Visa Infinite Dining Series. Both chefs were included on enRoute Magazine’s list of Canada’s Best New Restaurants 2013, so you can just imagine how special an evening this will be.

Under the fine dining roof of PiDGiN, Canada’s west meets east as the two nationally famous top chefs showcase a multi-course menu inspired by global flavours from Japan, Korea, Spain, France, and of course, Canada. Each of the hush-hush courses (try though we might, we just couldn’t get them to dish on any part of the meal!) will be carefully matched with unique beer, wine, cocktail, and sake parings.

Just in case you’ve been hiding under a rock for the past couple of years and aren’t familiar with these culinary geniuses, here’s the mini-scoop…

Celebrated for his attention to detail and flavour, Chef Makoto Ono takes a delicate and playful approach, crafting highly composed dishes. Chef Grant van Gameren, known for his approachable, Spanish-inspired fare, creates unfussy plates bursting with imagination.
