Last weekend of January already!
Dine Around and Stay In Town is back for another year!
We had the opportunity to broadcast The Afternoon Zone from the Dine Around Gala again this year – it was AMAZING! We are so excited to try all the menus. You can find all the menus here!
Destination Greater Victoria and the BC Restaurant & Foodservices Association (BCRFA), Victoria Branch, are once again teaming up to organize the beloved Dine Around and Stay in Town Victoria. Dine Around 2025 will feature over 50 of Victoria’s top restaurants offering set three-course menus at deliciously low prices, delighting both locals and visitors alike! Dig into this 17-day culinary festival, as the city’s leading chefs curate some of the best farmed and foraged ingredients the region has to offer.
Saturday in the sunshine was a busy day for sure.
