The 13th annual Dine Out Vancouver is well under way, and a dozen or so Burnaby restaurants are taking part in the yearly food festival.
Thirteen local restaurants are offering deals in what is billed as Canada’s largest annual dining celebration. Every year, Dine Out Vancouver attracts more than 100,000 food lovers to experience some of the best eats in the Lower Mainland.
“I think that what we’re seeing is a trend for this festival – it’s just getting bigger and better every single year,” said Nancy Small, executive director at Tourism Burnaby. “It’s kind of taken a bit of a life of its own and it’s really exciting for us to be part of it within the city.”
The festival gives diners the opportunity to try more than 250 restaurants, each offering prix-fixe meals with at least three courses for $18, $28 or $38 per person. Additionally, many meals are complemented by the Wines of British Columbia, as well as craft beers and cocktails.
Burnaby’s culinary fare includes:
• Brokenrice Vietnamese Restaurant ($28)
• Burnaby Mountain Clubhouse ($18)
• Burnaby Riverway Clubhouse ($38)
• E.B.O Restaurant & Lounge ($28)
• Hart House Restaurant ($38)
• Horizons Restaurant ($28)
• The Keg Steakhouse + Bar ($38)
• Personas ($28)
• Reflect Social Dining + Lounge ($28)
• Tivoli’s Restaurant ($28)
• all three Cactus Club locations in the city ($28)
“The public has embraced this more than maybe a lot of people had thought,” said Small. “(And) from a business perspective, it gives them an opportunity to welcome some new customers and to keep their staff busy at a time when it might not normally be as busy.”
The festival runs until Feb. 1. For more information, visit dineoutvancouver.com.
