The new Como Ultramar will feature cooking over live charcoal.<\/p>\n
A new restaurant is coming to Vancouver’s Fraserhood, and it’s straight fire.<\/p>\n
The owners of Como Taperia (styled\u00a0\u00bfC\u00f3MO? Taperia) are opening a new location at 592 E Broadway that will focus on seafood and cooking over live charcoal.<\/p>\n
Como Ultramar is set to open this winter, and is inspired by founders Shaun Layton and Frankie Harrington’s annual trips to Northern Spain, according to a press release.<\/p>\n
Food at the new restaurant will be inspired by the seaside towns of Basque Country, Cantabria and Galicia\u00a0\u2014 but also the “old-school” seafood bars of Madrid and more modern dining in Barcelona, Layton says.<\/p>\n
‘Think whole fish over fire,’ says Como Ultramar\u00a0co-founder<\/p>\n
“In all these places, there is just big love for seafood in its simplest forms, but yet, full of flavour,” he says. “Think whole fish over fire, Basque-style, with the best seafood we can source locally and from afar.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n
To run the kitchen, chef-partner Daniel Kim is joining the team. A veteran of Vancouver’s fine dining scene, Kim spent nearly a decade at Boulevard, where he most recently served as chef de cuisine.<\/p>\n
Located on Faber Block, the building was constructed in 1926 and formerly known as the Carolina. Previous tenants include Black & White Grocery\u00a0and Seb\u2019s Cafe, according to the release.<\/p>\n
The 2,500-square-foot space will feature\u00a0a dining room and a mezzanine on the second floor.<\/p>\n
