White Goose Bistro Comedians are serious about making people laugh, just like chefs are serious about making the best food they can for their customers, whether that plate has a burger or oven-roasted duck confit.

That’s always been the case at White Goose Bistro since it opened its doors 10 years ago.

The small family business prides itself on its ability to offer whatever dining experience area residents are looking for, from the quick, casual business lunch to the more formal dinner with someone special.

“White Goose is more than the restaurant you go to for that romantic date night,” said restaurant co-owner Fallon Cyre Moreland. “You can come in dressed up or dressed down.”

That variety is reflected in the menu, from the $11 express lunch offerings to the yellow fin tuna served rare for dinner.

The dinner menu is as diverse as a five-course dinner chosen by the chef with wine pairings to a perfectly seared steak.

“We’ve got a passionate chef who loves to cook and thoroughly enjoys creating off-menu.”

The same approach to fun, tasty food is taken in both the White Goose catering service, as well as the food truck, popularly known as The Gosling, which can be found at various outdoor special events during the summer.

“We have stayed with our concept since day one,” said chef and co-owner Ryan Cyre. It’s about serving good food and staying true.”

The Celt The luck of the Irish continues at the Celt Family Restaurant in Prince George.

The Celt, which opened on April 17, has decided to keep the family friendly Irish Pub style it had in its previous life.

“I enjoyed the warm, comfy friendly feeling and that is something we are going to continue,” said Celt Manager, Darryl Colley. “As we start updating during the summer, we will continue to stick with that family feel and we want people to come in and get that same feeling.”

The warm atmosphere offers private booths with a pub like feel and a menu that continues to offer many of the city’s favourites as well as new items to appeal to many different appetites, big and small.

“About 30 to 40 per cent of the menu is brand new and the rest is from a previous life,” Colley said. We have many signature items, some Irish and some pub fare. The appetizer list is long and delicious.

Get ready to try one of the best reuben sandwiches in town and other delectable dinner options including Westport chicken and Bronto ribs. Bring a big appetite. It’s a huge meal!

Shiraz

Diamond Kebob

Shiraz continues to add flavour to diversity with a desire to represent the hospitality and culture of the middle east.

It’s with love and passion, Shiraz owner, Reza Akbari relives his childhood dream everyday by bringing the first ever Persian restaurant to Prince George in 2012.

“This restaurant is a real reflection of what I wanted to bring into this community,”Akbari said. “We can only move forward if we can break down the cliches and taboos of the Middle East. I want to educate people and make a representation that is real, true and positive.” And it’s through exceptional service and good food that people keep coming back to experience the many colourful flavours Shiraz has to offer.

“Like music, food is an international language,”Akbari said.

“Our food resembles Mediterranean/Greek style cuisine and fruit is a main feature because of the geography of the middle east.” All of the food is authentic and homemade including Persian delights from appetizers, lunch, dinner and desserts fresh from the kitchen.

Live music has become a staple at the restaurant with many local, national and international performers regularly taking to the stage. Pictures of people and places fill the walls adding to a vibrant Persian yet personal touch.

But hospitality remains number one on Akbari’s list.

“In our language we have a saying that translates to a ‘guest being a gift from god’. And I am so thankful to the people of Prince George. We are here because of them and because of our love and passion for this place.”
