The discreet signage on this Limoilou storefront is like a Wheel of Fortune board several letters short of a winning hand: “A_ R V_ _ _ I”.
It would be easier to tell your guests to look for the restaurant across the street that lures patrons with brightly coloured bras strung across its patio. But Arvi, inside an industrial–modern former skate shop, is a different kind of show: an evening of open–kitchen, immersive theatre directed by a French–born chef where cooking is a ticketed performance and every troupe member plays the part of chef, sommelier and server.
