T’S BEEN a tough year for Deep Cove villagers. Appetizing: — French cuff or regular sleeve
—~ Monograms can be provided

For one thing, they’ve had to
suffer through the continuing in-
dignities of road construction
along Dollarton Highway and
Gallant Avenue; for another,
they've had to suffer without the
services of the Savoury.

inhaling interminable clouds of
toad dust is one thing, but doing
without Rack of Lamb Jakarta is

another. .
And while Dollarton Highway

temains a patchwork of varying
thicknesses of blacktop, sidewalks
and gravel shoulders, the Savoury
is back.

Reivice, therefore, all ye
gastronomes, and prepare again to
sup at the Savoury.

Augusto Pecorelli’s restaurant
reopened on Good Friday to ap-
plause from all area residents just
over a year after it closed to make
way for new construction along
Gallant Avenue.

The Savoury now occupies the
ground floor of the new building
constructed on the site of the old
Nutshell restaurant.

ltis slightly smaller than the
original Savoury, seating about 50
compared with closer to 70 in the
old location.

But the new Savoury looks out
over the picturesque Deep Cove
harbor and features a bright Euro-
pean bistro interior and the same
polished service and excellent
food that have established the
Savoury as a destination restaurant
for diners all over the Lower
Mainland.

The new-look Savoury is com-
plemented by a new-look Savoury
staff, the veterans fresh and in-
vigorated after a year away from
the restaurant recharging philo-
sophical and other batteries.

Petroceili, the Marcello
Mastroianni of the North Shore
restaurant scene, unveiled a new
menu with his new restaurant, and
the combination of old favorites
and new inspirations works well.

Soups, salads and appetizers
range in price from about $3 up to
$8. The Caesar Salad for two
($11.95) is the big-ticket item in
the preliminary rounds, but it is
prepared tableside in the
Savoury’s grand tradition, pro-
viding a flourish of show biz with
gourmandise.

Entrees manage to stay under
$20 (Rack of Lamb Jakarta, a
Savoury classic, and Mira Mar, a
flambed offering of prawns and
scallops, are the most expensive
selections at $19.95).

TABLE HOPPING

And the Savoury also has a new
wine fist (bottles range roughly be-
tween $18 and $30) that provides
good representation from a host of
European countries.

Table Hopping sampled an ex-
cellent Portuguese Bairrada Prima
Vera 1985 ($18.60). The bone-dry
red has a finish like a good Por-
tuguese builfight and a nose that
recalls the arid winds of Portugal's
dusty interior.

On the recommendation of
veteran Savoury waiter Peter
Milcak — another good reason to
visit the restaurant — 1 sampled a
Camembert Estragon ($6.95) from
the appetizer selection.

It featured a small wheel of
Camembert cheese elegantly filled
with pan-fried shrimps, seasoned
with herbs and accompanied with
a mild tarragon cream sauce,

It was a delicious opener, as was

My entree was Pork Normandie ; fo ¢ ay o _ Heather Ross : .

ambitious array of vegetables and
garnish: baked onion, boiled
potato carved into the shape of a
mushroom, carrot spears wrapped
in green onion, broccoli and zuc-
chini topped with a hollandaise
sauce, and a crepe stuffed with
ground mushrooms.

The centre of the plate was oc-
cupied by a feaf of red radicchio
and a sliced strawberry.
