RauDZ Regional Table

$$$
Rod Butters, one of BC's best-known chefs, created this contemporary eatery to deliver a culinarily interesting yet casual dining experience. The restaurant's interior is simple, with an open kitchen, a 21-foot communal table, and exposed brick and beams revealing the historic building's architectural roots. The kitchen emphasizes seasonal, locally sourced fare and is not afraid to offer cheeseburgers (topped with artisanal cheddar or blue) alongside more innovative dishes. Look for the carrot-poached lingcod or the braised bison brisket with Okanagan kimchi. If you're into desserts, the "liquid" variety are worth your consideration; a favorite is peach cobbler (bourbon, peaches and cream, and cinnamon). P.S.: The name is pronounced "Rod's."
