Main Menu
The Lower Mainland’s biggest restaurant festival is back on the menu in 2023, promising delicious deals at hundreds of local eateries. Running from January 20 to February 5, reservations are now open for this year’s Dine Out Vancouver event––and there are 30 Richmond restaurants participating in the taste-tripping extravaganza.
How it Works
The festival’s foundation is the specially priced multi-course dining menus served by each restaurant. Typically including three courses––starter, entrée and dessert––this year’s Dine Out menus are categorized into three prix fixe price ranges: $20 to $34; $35 to $49; and $50 to $65.
Some restaurants provide menus in more than one price range, especially if they’ve added a lunchtime deal to their Dine Out dinner offering. Some restaurants even offer brunch. And there are usually several choices available for each course (often including vegetarian and gluten-free options).
The most important Dine Out detail? Now in its 21st year, this event is very popular, so you should book ahead. Reservations are now open and you can view full menus and book your tables via the website link below.
