Dine Out in Vancouver

Vancouver is a food lover’s dream, packed to the brim with incredible chefs, fresh ingredients sourced from the land and sea, and astoundingly refined breweries, distilleries, and wineries within a short distance. If you want to experience the best there is of dining, you should plan a trip to Vancouver, the official food lover’s destination. The city’s true foodie colours shine in January when Vancouver’s premier culinary festival, Dine Out Vancouver, kicks off.
DINE OUT VANCOUVER
Dining out is expensive. Even the most ardent, well-to-do foodies can only afford to experience a truly sumptuous meal once or twice on a trip. Dine Out Vancouver was born from a daring idea: what if Vancouver’s chefs and restaurants gathered together to offer a prix fixe meal for half a month, they then put their best culinary foot forward with a planned three-course menu that they can offer at a lower cost? The result is hundreds of restaurants, bars, and cafes throughout the city offering their most amazing meals for $15, $25, $35 and $45 (depending on the venue). It is possible to experience the culinary best of the city at a fraction of the cost!
The list of participating eateries hasn’t been released yet, but here are some of the most exciting restaurants in town to keep an eye on:
Forage: Chef Welbert Choi offers twists on classic European fare to showcase the diversity of locally sourced meat and produce.
Kamei Royale is a Vancouver classic, pioneering innovative sushi creations and making rolls that are served worldwide.
Campagnola Restaurant house-cures their own meats and saloumi, presenting perfectly-balanced Italian meals at a price even a peasant could afford.
Chambar offers fresh seafood and tapas and is one of Vancouver’s favourite spots for a cocktail and delicious share plates.
Other than a sublime cocktail or a glass of wine, the perfect pairing to a fabulous meal is actually a refined stay at Vancouver’s premier boutique hotel. Book a room at Hotel Blu during Dine Out Vancouver between January 17 and February 2! After a hearty meal, lounge in elegantly furnished accommodations with complimentary Wi-Fi, Smart TV, plush bedding, and much more!
