There's a new food event in Vancouver that introduces us to some hidden (and not-so-hidden) gems in Railtown, while supporting a local charity. Running from November 1 to 30, Dine Railtown features nine restaurants in the Railtown neighbourhood. I was invited to preview 3 of the locations.
I was invited to a tour on the Granville Island to visit some restaurants for their menu preview. First up, Dockside Restaurant at the Granville Island Hotel. I remember going there for the first time for Dine Out back in 2008, then Christmas brunch with family in 2013, my bridal shower in 2015, then here we are again for Dine Out.
Since its opening last year, I've been to WildTale three times. First, I took my bridesmaids there after the wedding last summer; then, my family and I went there for Dine Out just this past January. And now, I was invited by the restaurant to try some of its menu items. It's hard to believe it's taken three visits before a blog post about this restaurant.
This past weekend, we were invited to go to the Brunch Crawls as part of the Dine Out Vancouver festivities. Put on by Richard the Vancouver Foodster. The first of the brunch crawl series was in Gastown. In 4 hours, Mr. and I checked out 7 different spots in Gastown.
We were invited to go on a tour to check out the various Donnelly Group properties and their Dine Out Vancouver menu. Donnelly Group locations are offering their Dine Out menu at $20. Executive Chef Alvin Pillay has recently returned to the company group, and he's quite proud of the menus that he's put together. After tasting some of the items, I thought it's pretty good value for the money. The menu seems ordinary, but executive chef and the kitchen teams have added some flare to the classics. Pick a location that offers the vibe and atmosphere that you want, a $20 3-course dinner isn't such a bad idea for a dinner out.
