All 318 Dine Out Vancouver 2020 restaurants revealed

Now in its 18th year, the annual restaurant and food festival will be back to tantalize locals and visitors to Metro Vancouver from January 17 to February 2, with its array of special menus and event programming all around the city.

The core of DOV remains the specially-priced and curated menus at participating restaurants in the region that give diners - whether they are new, regulars, or getting reaquainted with the venue - a taste of what the restaurant has to offer. Sometimes restaurants zero in on their most popular dishes, while other times chefs opt to come up with something you'll only see during Dine Out.

Menus for 2020 are available at $15, $25, $35, and $45 (plus tax and tip), and are offered for dinners, lunches, and even brunches. You can also find plenty of spots serving up vegetarian fare, or with gluten-free menu options. While most places offer reservations, take note that some are walk-in service only.

This year an impressive 318 Metro Vancouver restaurants are participating - up from 305 in 2019.

You can enjoy a DOV menu at brand-new restaurants such as the 1931 Gallery Bistro at the Vancouver Art Gallery or Bufala Edgemont in North Vancouver, or at tried-and-true local favourites such as Bishops, Espana, Viij's or Fable Kitchen. Go for a vegetarian meal to remember at Acorn or the newcomer Amaranthus, or finally tick places like CinCin or Maenam off your gotta-try-it list. Go fancy at Hawksworth, or keep it casual at the Davie Dosa Company. There are tons of familiar chains like Cactus Club and The Keg, and some standout spots like L'Abattoir, Ubuntu, AnnaLena, or Nammos Estiatario. You can even see what all the fuss is about at Hydra.

Reservations are open now, but please don't take advantage by making reservations you don't intend to keep just to keep your options open (it happens a lot and it hurts restaurants - DOV is about supporting our city's incredible restaurants). And don't forget to factor tax, tip, and drinks into your dining budget. But most importantly, get out there and EAT!

Other popular Dine Out Vancouver event programming includes the pop-up food cart pod of Street Food City, World Chef Exchange dinners, the Great Big Taste, and more.
