Useful Information
Meet the owner
Many restaurants talk about consistency; consistency in service, atmosphere and food. Not all can live up to that claim. However, Steveston’s Tapenade Bistro delivers every time. Owner Vince Morlet’s philosophy is simple. “We use as much seasonal and organic product as possible and love supporting the local farmers and local suppliers. In addition, all of our seafood is Ocean Wise … we buy our seafood right from our distributor’s boats.”
He goes on to add: “We’re having lots of fun here. Not taking ourselves too seriously. We’re not fine dining, we’re just a neighbourhood bistro with good food, great service and fantastic wine.” Whether it’s brunch, lunch or dinner, the bistro’s loyal clientele always come away delighted.
That’s due in part because Vince is simply a stickler for detail. And he always finds ways to surprise diners — he’s one of those hosts who truly loves what he’s doing! Time after time, the local restaurateur offers the best local fare with little twists on favourites, such as the bouillabaisse, home-made charcuterie platters and confit albacore tuna — all the while never shirking on stellar service.
