Acclaimed Chefs Adam Pegg And Lucais Syme Of The Award-Winning La Quercia Welcomed By OPUS Hotel Vancouver.
OPUS Vancouver Leads Hospitality Industry Innovation
(Vancouver, July 17 2012) - Nicholas Gandossi, General Manager of OPUS Vancouver, is pleased to announce a new partnership that will see Adam Pegg and Lucais Syme of Vancouver’s award-winning Northern Italian eatery La Quercia, open a new restaurant concept at the globally recognized OPUS Vancouver.
Gandossi sees the involvement of Pegg and Syme, together with Peter Girges, as yet another opportunity to keep OPUS Vancouver on the leading edge of hospitality.
“We like being ahead of the curve,” says Gandossi. “We were the first hotel in North America to embrace the pop up restaurant and we will continue to be at the forefront of dining and drinking trends.”
For their part, Pegg and Syme, see the collaboration an opportunity to expand their culinary repertoire beyond the walls of their acclaimed west side Vancouver trattoria. “We've always wanted to work on a larger food program and we were thrilled when this conversation began,” says Pegg with Syme adding: “We’re looking forward to working with a new dining concept in such a vibrant part of the city.”
Restaurateur and nightlife impresario Peter Girges, of Cento Notti and OPUS Bar, is thrilled to welcome his friends Adam and Lucais. Since Girges’s involvement with OPUS Vancouver began, he has been instrumental in the operation of the pop up strategy and he will continue to host and welcome guests.
OPUS Vancouver’s current pop up, Cento Notti, will close on the evening of August 12 for renovations and a new restaurant is scheduled to reopen in early September 2012.
Award-winning hot spot OPUS Bar will remain open throughout this changeover.
