Three of the best restaurants in the city are going to be carrying over their Dine Out menus well beyond the February 1st expiry date…
Direct from the press release:
Harry Kambolis’ three restaurants know our local producers and suppliers, but they also know our local diners. In homage to Vancouver’s love affair with Dine Out Vancouver, Raincity Grill, C Restaurant, and nu restaurant + lounge have extended their prix fixe menus until Wednesday, February 11th. So if you weren’t fast enough making your reservations, this extension gives you the opportunity to enjoy one more (or perhaps now all three) of Vancouver’s top restaurants serving sustainably sourced local food, wise to the farm and our ocean. All extended Dine Out Vancouver menus are naturally paired with BC VQA wines (see menus below).

Hey,
I don’t mean to piggyback on the Raincity-Nu-C press release, BUT……
Cru is extending our dine-out menu until Thursday, February 5.
We’re hoping to launch a new dinner menu and this will give Chef Alana Peckham a few more days to fine tune.
See you soon,
~Mark
