An Ocean-inspired Feast on June 8 - from YEW to YOU

Executive Chef Ned Bell at YEW restaurant + bar and Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver has always been a strong proponent of sustainable seafood – but this World Oceans Day on June 8, he’s taking his commitment to another level as the venue debuts as a new partner of Vancouver Aquarium’s Ocean Wise program. 

If you know anything about culinary master Ned Bell, you know you won’t be disappointed by the sumptuous Ocean Wise dinner with paired wines he’ll be serving up that evening. The dinner will also include a cocktail reception beforehand.

Inspired by the oceans of the world – Indian, Pacific, Atlantic, and Southern – the dinner will celebrate our connection to the ocean. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Vancouver Aquarium’s Ocean Wise program.
