Bufala Edgemont North Vancouver - Happy Hour [Review]

Located in the heart of North Vancouver’s Edgemont Village, Bufala Edgemont is an expanded offshoot of the original Bufala that opened in Kerrisdale in 2014 and brings a unique brand of rustic, Italian-inspired comfort food and the same feel and charm of the original to Vancouver’s North Shore.

Bufala Edgemont is a concept by Gooseneck Hospitality, which has also opened such award-winning Vancouver restaurants as Wildebeest, Lucky Taco, Bufala Kerrisdale and Bells and Whistles.

Bufala Edgemont features a 3,300 square feet of space with seating for 160 and a menu of fresh-from-scratch pizzas, pastas and lighter fare in its dining room and bar as well as local craft beer on tap, an array of Old- and New-World wine and cocktails that range from classic to contemporary.

We went in for their Happy Hour menu which is offered daily from 4 pm – 6 pm & 3 pm – 6 pm on weekends and every night from 9 pm – close.

Here is what we tried:

A5 Wagyu Carpaccio

A5 Hiro Wagyu, picked morels, artichoke puree, parmesan, Karimunda black pepper, focaccia crostini

Rigatoni

Beef & pork bolognese, parmigiano

Margherita Pizza

Fior di latte, fresh basil, marinara, parmigiano

Pepperoni Pizza

Thinly sliced pepperoni, mozzarella, parmigiano, oregano, marinara

The Rigatoni Bolognese was delicious with a flavourful, meaty bolognese sauce and al dente pasta.

The beef carpaccio had a nice, delicate texture and a rich flavor complemented with a mild flavoured and smooth artichoke puree.

The pizza bottoms were nice and crispy; the crust was chewy; and the tomato sauce was well-balanced and had the right amount of mozza on top. The pepperoni slices were plentiful.
