Whether your tastes run to Reef Runner's famous jerk chicken or Tacofino’s codfish taco with chipotle mayo and salsa fresco or one of Mr. Arancino’s hearty Sicilian risotto balls, you’ll be in food truck heaven at the seventh annual event.
This more casual arm of the popular takes place in the Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół»Art Gallery’s newly renovated plaza Jan. 22 to 28 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekends. The Dine Out festival began in 2001, when a group of food and wine enthusiasts got together with the team at Tourism Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół»and pitched the idea of a fixed-price menu deal to get Vancouverites out and into restaurants during a normally slow time of the year. At the time, 57 restaurants jumped on board and since then Dine Out Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół»Festival has grown into Canada’s largest food and drink festival.
More than 20 food trucks will rotate throughout the week so if comfort food is your thing, make sure to visit Old Country Pierogi. Craving a healthy sweet? In addition to its rib-sticking savoury pies, Aussie Pie Guy offers a traditional Anzac cookie made with rolled oats, coconut and golden syrup.
“We are incredibly excited to bring Street Food City back for a seventh year. It has become one of the annual highlights of Dine Out Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół»Festival,” says Lucas Pavan, Tourism Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół»spokesperson for Dine Out. “2018 is Dine Out’s biggest year yet with more than 300 participating restaurants, over 30 culinary events and 12 hotel offers taking place over the 17 days of the festival.”
