ens in Savoury

Savoury Restaurant has
closed tts doors.

Flags at half mast, diners
— a moment of silence to
ponder past places of the
Savoury’s matchless Rack of
Lamb Jakarta and hot sum-

Gambas Piri Piri with a bot-
tle of fine Portuguese wine
while overlooking idvllic
Deep Cove harbour.

All gone; all fine dining

days of yore.

But enough tears in your
vintage port, fellow
Savouryites,

For there is a silver iining
in this Deep Cove cloud: the
energetic Laurent Neveu,
who joined Pecorelli as a
Savoury partner back in
1996, has installed his Eiffel
Cafe in the Savoury’s
Gallant Avenue location.
Joining him at the Eiffel is
brother Philippe Neveu.

Together they hope to
bring some French savoir-
faire to the North Shore's
east end.

Their opening Eittel
menu includes such items as
Chicken liver mousseline
prepared with porto and
cognac; Roasted snails in
pistachio garlic butter;
Steamed mussels with home-
made pesto; Bouillabaisse
with Iranian saffron; Poultry
tenders with peppercorn and
Alaskan king crab sauce,
Grilled salmon steak with
Grand Marnier ginger may-
onnaise and Beef loin with
blue cheese garnish.

Appetizers are priced
from $4.50 to $7.50;
entrees are an affordable
$12.50 to $15.50.

Oh, et Mon Dicu!, they
have retained Pecorelli’s
Rack (Jakarta Lamb, that is)
and Carre d’Agneau.

And what of Monsicur
Pecorelli?

Word has it that he is
bound for West Vancouver
to open a flower shop.
Expect it to be a place of
grace and sophistication, as
his Savoury always was.

The Eiffel is planning to
be open for lunch starting
on Feb. 25.

It has yet to be sampled
by Table Hopping, but
expect an Eiffel critique in
an upcoming episode.
