supperclub san francisco Offers Special Vegetarian Week

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Renowned for its provocative and entertaining approach to fine dining, supperclub san francisco will present a special week of completely meatless gourmet dinners from Tuesday, February 24 through Sunday, March 1 at its dramatic restaurant located at 657 Harrison Street in the city's SOMA district.

The prix fixe 3- and 4-course surprise menus will be served to guests as they lounge on supperclub's unique roman-style beds while they enjoy a tantalizing array of visual arts, live performances, and seductive music mixed by resident DJs. A special selection of health-oriented cocktails will also be featured.

"We like to create new and exciting experiences our guests," says supperclub's General Manager, Edme Straver. "For those who follow a vegetarian diet, the menu will be a welcome pleasure -- and for those that do not usually eat strictly vegetarian, the menu will be a revelation."

Famous for their contemporary global cuisine designed to delight the palate and stimulate the senses, Executive Chef Guus Wickenhagen and Sous Chef Alex Molitz will use locally grown seasonal ingredients for the special menus. Prior to joining supperclub san francisco, Wickenhagen was at De Zwarte Walvis, a 2-Star Michelin restaurant in The Netherlands, and Molitz was previously at Tra Vigne in the Napa Valley.

Beginning with its first location in Amsterdam, supperclub restaurants around the world are known for showcasing many types of emerging artists. In addition to supperclub san francisco's weeklong focus on healthful culinary arts, and its signature entertainment that includes fine art, performance art, and music, the healing arts will also be spotlighted, with foot, shoulder, and full-body massages offered by the Gayatri Institute.

Adds Straver, "After the fast pace that we all encounter in this contemporary society, a body needs healthy food, with physical and mental stimulation to relax and let go. When our guests are open trying new things that they might not ordinarily encounter, the experience can be transformative -- and very memorable."

supperclub san francisco offers 3- and 4-course prix fixe dining Tuesdays through Sundays, with dinner seating beginning at 7 pm. Reservations are recommended: 415-348-0900.
