LE CROCODILE BY ROB FEENIE PRESENTS CHOUCROUTE GARNIE
Vancouver, BC, February 18, 2026 – On March 3, 2026, Le Crocodile by Rob Feenie is hosting a one-night-only dining experience to celebrate the return of Choucroute Garnie, an iconic dish from Alsace. Traditionally built around sauerkraut, cured meats, and Riesling, the five-course menu by chef Rob Feenie is a refined take on a classic – highlighted by the team’s dedication to French technique and a contemporary West Coast perspective.
“Choucroute garnie is a dish that brings people together,” explains Feenie. “It was one of my most memorable meals in Alsace and having the opportunity to enjoy it with the locals made it extra special. For this menu, we wanted to honour its classic roots while adding our own French technique and West Coast touches.”
The evening will feature two seatings – 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Reservations can be made exclusively through OpenTable Experiences.
