AMBLESIDE INN PROVIDES CULINARY HOLIDAY
Rich and famous dine at loca! eatery

See Meals

SATURDAY lunch is traditionally a casual stroll through

the previcus week’s leftovers.

But occasionally circumstances,
even for one as notoriously seden-
tary as your Table Hopping repre-
sentative, call for a more dramatic
break from relentless nine-to-five
brown baggery.

West Vancouver's Ambleside
Inn, 1495 Marine Drive, provides a
good destination for just such a
culinary holiday:

Located one floor up at the cor-
ner of 15th and Marine, the res-
taurant looks out over the busy
Hollywood and Vine intersection
of the North Shore’s own version
of Beverly Hills.

CONTINENTAL CUISINE

Ambleside ‘Inn. cuisine, .created
by former William Tell chef Frank
Mattman, is European continental.
Evening entrees are in the $15 to
$18 range and. tend towards more
substantial veal, steak and poultry

fare.

The restaurant’s renown, which
has attracted such noteworthy per-
sonalities as ex-American president
Jimmy Carter, the King and Queen

of Spain and NATO Secretary
Ceneral Lord Carrington, stems as
much from its ownership as from
its food.

Timothy Renshaw

and Martha Brueckel, former
managers of the Park Royal Hotel,
have a combined 30 years of
hospitality trade experience, which
has helped the pair cultivate an in-
ternational reputation and an in-
ternaticnal circle of acquaintance.

So, for those of ‘us whose
notoriety is several light years
short of international, there is
always the promise at Brueckel’s
restaurant of catching one of his
high-profile guests nibbling the
same daily special as you may be
wading through.

At a recent Saturday lunch, ac-
tivity at the Ambleside Inn was
becalmed, with no stars on the
immediate horizon.

Midday inenu offers an even
split between hot and cold plates,
Hot selections include quiche (a
daily chef's combination, $5.50),
salmon (poached in a_ Dijon
mustard and pink peppercorn
sauce, $7,25) and Beef Medallion
($10.25).

Cold plates range from $5 to $8.
