Burnaby, May 16, 2005 - Horizons Restaurant Executive Chef, John Garrett, will be featuring the BEST OF BC dinner menu from June 1st thru to June 30th, 2005.  A one-month promotion that will allow locals and visitors to sample the best West Coast cuisine that BC has to offer in a 3-course dinner menu selection for only $27 per person.  The Best of BC Menu will showcase literally the best of BC ingredients for Horizons' guests to indulge upon - from local fresh seafood of Wild BC Salmon, Clams, Scallops and Mussels to local meats of Free-Range Chicken and Pork Tenderloin, as well as, herbs, greens and beyond.  Each 3-course menu takes you on a culinary journey throughout BC. With the backdrop of the beautiful surrounding park and with the breath-taking view of Vancouver and Burnaby below, each guest is bound to have a memorable experience merging both scenery and cuisine.

In addition to the 3-course menu, Bar Manager, Bob Gorrie, has paired excellent BC wines to compliment each entrée to give our guests a true West Coast dining experience.  Local wineries such as: Township 7, Sandhill, Gehringer Brothers and Nk'Mip have been hand selected to accompany this fabulous menu.

Experience cuisine unique to BC starting your meal with the Barnston Island Baby Greens commingled with toasted pecans, fresh strawberries, creamy Okanagan Valley Goat Cheese and drizzled with balsamic syrup; moving on into your main course with the flavourful Fraser Valley Sesame Almond Chicken Breast cooked to perfection with its crisp, delicate coating and accompanied with golden Pan Roasted BC Nugget Potatoes & sweet ginger-plum glaze; or if you crave fresh seafood, the West Coast Cioppino Bowl is an excellent choice with its Gulf Island Mussels, Clams, Scallops, Wild BC Salmon, Halibut and Prawns all simmered with tomatoes, herbs and spices.

Pate accented with Fraser Valley strawberry, blackberry and raspberry sauce; and the Horizons'
