Boulevard Kitchen & Oyster Bar Celebrates The Sutton Place Hotel Vancouver’s 40th Anniversary with an homage to the Chocoholic Buffet

Executive Pastry Chef Kenta Takahashi reimagines the iconic dessert tradition for two weekends only

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- To mark the 40th anniversary of The Sutton Place Hotel Vancouver, Boulevard Kitchen & Oyster Bar is inviting guests to celebrate with a special limited-time anniversary brunch experience, available across two weekends only: May 30–31 and June 6–7, 2026, from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM.

Designed as a tribute to the hotel’s four decades of refined hospitality and memorable dining, the anniversary brunch 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.

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. Featuring an indulgent spread 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 will present a modern take on a beloved Vancouver tradition.

“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,” says Roger Ma, Executive Chef at Boulevard Kitchen & Oyster Bar. “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.”

The limited engagement anniversary brunch reflects Boulevard’s continued evolution as one of Vancouver’s premier dining destinations, while paying tribute to the legacy of The Sutton Place Hotel Vancouver as a cornerstone of the city’s hospitality scene.

With seating available for two weekends only, reservations are limited, and advance booking is strongly encouraged.
