Dine Out at Cassis Bistro ($25)

That’s right, it’s a new year and that means the Dine Out Vancouver menus are up online [tv] and it’s time to get your eat on. For those of you playing a long at home Dine Out Vancouver is a program by Tourism Vancouver where a number of local restaurants offer reasonably priced set menus (between $15 and $35) for a few weeks to give locals, tourists and others a chance to taste their fare, while bringing in business for restaurants during their slower post-Christmas period.

This is the program’s sixth year, and every year it gets more and more popular. I’d suggest getting reservations as soon as you can, especially if there’s somewhere specific you want to eat. Lydia’s already got a whole host of eateries booked for us, and she was online the day the menus came out to make sure we got to go where we wanted.

For our past bits on Dine Out Vancouver just check here [mbv]. From personal experiance I’d suggest Aurora Bistro [mbv] and Raincity Grill.

Dine Out Vancouver runs from January 16th until February 3rd.

Note: The menu pictured is from last year, please check the website for an updated Cassis Bistro menu.
