New Middle Eastern restaurant to open on the rooftop of Vancouver’s newest 5-star hotel

Attention, Vancouver foodies. The city is getting a new Middle Eastern-inspired restaurant called Lavantine, and it’s located on the rooftop of AZUR Legacy Hotel, AKA Vancouver’s newest 5-star boutique hotel.

Drawing from the rich flavours and time-honoured recipes of the Levant region, the new dining concept joins Dahlia in providing guests with a memorable experience at AZUR.

The boutique hotel also happens to be the only member of the Leading Hotels of the World in Western Canada, making Lavantine all the more tempting to try once it opens!

“Lavantine showcases the very best that BC has to offer,” says AZUR Food and Beverage Director Sofia Sayani. “There will be an open-concept kitchen where guests can witness the culinary magic firsthand and a bar where they can bask in the breathtaking views of the surrounding cityscape.”
