Multiple Michelin-accredited spots among 450+ restaurants participating in Dine Out Vancouver
Reservations for Dine Out Vancouver 2026 have just gone live, and plenty of exciting participating restaurants are on the list this year (we’re talking over 450).
Dine Out Vancouver got its start all the way back in 2002 when a group of food and wine enthusiasts got together with the Destination Vancouver team and pitched the idea of a fixed-price menu deal to get people into restaurants during what would normally be considered a slow time of the year. Fast forward 24 years, and Dine Out Vancouver is Canada’s largest food and drink festival.
Participating restaurants offer diners a chance to showcase multi-course meals within one of the three fixed-price menu ranges: $20 to $40, $40 to $55, or $55 to $70.
Among the participating restaurants, over 25 are Michelin-accredited hot spots, making it the perfect time to cross a couple of spots off your bucket list. This includes Bib Gourmand restaurants like Gary’s, Karma Indian Bistro, Song (by Kin Kao), and more, alongside numerous Michelin-recommended spots.
Plus, those wanting to get even fancier have the chance to dine at Michelin-starred Published on Main and Burdock & Co. for $110 per person. Reservations for these spots are limited, and they book quickly, so be sure to get yours in sooner rather than later.
