Dine Out Vancouver kicks off today with over 300 participating resturants in what has become Canada’s largest annual food and drink festival.

Cooked up by Tourism Vancouver, the gastronomic event brings together our city’s most desirable culinary delights along with smashingly good BC wines, craft beer and cocktails.

Lasting 17 days (from January 18 – February 3), the festival takes place throughout the city, where diners choose from a special three (or more) course prix-fix menu priced at $15, $25, $35, and $45.

This year, 8 Gastown restaurants are participating with a fine assortment of scrumptious brunch, lunch, and dinner menus.
