Food prepared by chefs-in-training is often a bargain, and adventurous as well. The jewel in this crown may be the Dubrulle International Culinary Institute, which recently took over the historic Stanley Park Dining Pavilion (550 Pipeline Road, Stanley Park, 604-683-5911). Built in 1911 of log and stone to resemble a Swiss chalet, the pavilion is worth seeking out for its location alone. But Dubrulle boasts an enviable culinary reputation, so expect good things when the restoration is complete and public facilities are open.
At Vancouver Community College’s City Centre Campus (250 West Pender Street, Downtown, 604-443-8300), you’ll find a third¬floor dining room, restaurant, cafeteria, and bakery with a variety of inexpensive foods prepared by cooks, chefs, and bakers-in-training.
There’s also a licensed dining room and bakery at the Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts near the entrance to Granville Island at 1505 West Second Avenue. Call 604-734-4488 for lunch and dinner reservations.
