Menus

We have the culinary dream team here at AURA! Creating our menus is a labour of love & passion, and we know that you will experience both when you join us and taste for yourself.

Please note these are sample menus; our menus change seasonally and depend on the availability of fresh, local ingredients.

Our Chefs select local & organic foods at every opportunity, rather than those from afar. They source beef raised on Vancouver Island farms, salmon caught in our rivers, locally tended produce, and herbs from our very own garden.

Closer. Fresher. Better.
