Boulevard Kitchen & Oyster Bar is marking the 40th anniversary of The Sutton Place Hotel Vancouver with a special limited-time brunch experience that pays homage to the iconic Chocoholic Buffet. The event will be held over two weekends only: May 30-31 and June 6-7, 2026, from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM.
A Nostalgic Tribute to Four Decades of Hospitality
The anniversary brunch is designed as a tribute to the hotel's four decades of refined hospitality and memorable dining. It brings together Boulevard's signature culinary approach with a nostalgic nod to the beloved chocoholic experience previously served at The Sutton Place Hotel Vancouver's Fleuri restaurant. The result is a thoughtfully crafted three-course prix fixe brunch, culminating in an elevated dessert experience that celebrates the past while showcasing Boulevard's modern pastry program.
Reimagined Dessert Buffet by Award-Winning Pastry Chef
Guests can look forward to seasonal brunch dishes paired with a dessert buffet reimagined by three-time winner of Canada's Best Pastry Chef, Executive Pastry Chef Kenta Takahashi. The spread features an indulgent array of house-made desserts, signature bonbons, and a flowing chocolate fountain designed to evoke the magic and decadence of the original chocolate buffet experience. This event presents a modern take on a beloved Vancouver tradition.
Roger Ma, Executive Chef at Boulevard Kitchen & Oyster Bar, said: "This brunch was designed to feel both familiar and celebratory, as an opportunity to revisit a meaningful part of the hotel's history through the lens of Boulevard today. We wanted the menu to feel refined while still capturing a sense of nostalgia. It's a chance for guests to come together, relive a little piece of Sutton Place history, and experience how the culinary program has evolved while still honouring the traditions that made this property so special."
