The popular and delicious Tastings on Hastings event is a feast for the eyes and taste-buds as Hastings Street is transformed into a pop-up restaurant for 600 diners on Friday August 30. The street is closed to traffic as restaurants including Gaston, Aromas, La Vida, Rococo, Season Restaurant, Bistro C and Berardos on the Beach set up their tables on the street and diners enjoy a two-course lunch accompanied by wines and beers while being entertained by a roving stage of jazz musicians.
