Meating Place
JUL 29 Calling all carnivores: only one
event each summer combines perfectly
prepared proteins with liberal lashings
of local libations. When Brewery & The
Beast (page 94) returns to Vancouver
this month, it brings with it dozens of
acclaimed chefs and restaurants, includ-
ing Hawksworth (page 103), Fable Diner
(page 110), Maenam (page 108), Juniper
(page 98), Edible Canada (page 107) and
Torafuku (page 110). Each one cooks,
cures, roasts or barbecues various cuts of
meat to mouth-watering perfection. And
if you want to feel virtuous about such a
day of debauchery, rest assured that partial
proceeds go to charity. Ready, set, feast.

JUL 27 History and haute cuisine collide
at No. 1 Gaoler’s Mews (page 94). Tucked
into a 19th-century heritage building
behind L’Abattoir (page 106), the space
hosts exclusive evenings once a month,
sharing its neighbour’s celebrated chefs
and sommelier. The 10-course chef’s-table
dinners host just eight patrons, and come
with all the trimmings, including wine pair-
ings and keepsake gifts. It sells out—so act
quickly if you want to savour this culinary
spectacle.—Jill Von Sprecken
JUL 1 Canada Day kicks off festivities
across the city, many of them glorious
and free. Swing over to Granville Island
for live music courtesy of the Vancouver
International Jazz Festival (page 73), or to
Canada Place, where hopeful percussion-
ists attempt to set a new Guinness World
Record for most nationalities in a drum
circle. Stick around for crowd-pleasing con-
certs and a fireworks finale. Need Canuck
swag? Indigo (page 38) is a treasure trove
of True North–themed souvenirs.—Chloë Lai
