Hawksworth says Thank You with Alba White Truffles at Cost 

Hawksworth Restaurant Celebrates 15 Years and North America’s Best Fine Dining Hotel Restaurant, with a Special Thank You to Diners

Vancouver, B.C. (November 10, 2026) –  As part of Hawksworth Restaurant’s 15th anniversary celebrations and following its recent recognition as North America’s Best Fine Dining Hotel Restaurant, 2026 World Culinary Awards, Chef David Hawksworth is offering one of the world’s most prized culinary ingredients at cost, inviting diners to experience the heady aroma and distinctive yet delicate flavours of Alba’s revered white truffles, without the usual markup. 

“I’ve always been fascinated by truffles, especially the whites – that pungent, almost barnyard-y aroma and intoxicating taste. But visiting Piedmont a few years ago for the International White Truffle Fair and getting to tag along with a local truffle hunter and his dog gave me a whole new appreciation for just how special they are,” says Chef David Hawksworth. “I can’t believe it’s been 15 years since we opened and with our most recent recognition, we’re feeling pretty grateful. Sharing this rare and special ingredient at cost – zero mark-up – is our way of saying thank you to Vancouver for 15 incredible years of support.”

With the Alba white truffle season lasting only a few short months each year, this is a rare opportunity to experience one of the world’s most celebrated ingredients. Alba white truffles cannot be cultivated and grow entirely underground, close to the roots of hardwood trees like oaks, hazelnut, and chestnut and are harvested by trained dogs and truffle hunters. Most truffle hunters, known as trifulau, benefit from knowledge and expertise handed down from generations before them.  

Hawksworth invites guests to add shaved Alba white truffles, currently priced at $8.50 /gram, to select dishes from its À La Carte menu, or to a new feature dish of house-made Tajarin pasta (also known as Piedmont egg ribbons) where the buttery soft noodles offer the perfect partner to gently warm and accentuate the earthy aromas and flavours of the prized ingredient. Pricing may fluctuate during the promotion due to market costs and demand. For more information and reservations visit www.hawksworthrestaurant.com or book via Open Table here.
