Get ready for Dine Out Vancouver 2013 – Canada’s largest restaurant festival

http://youtu.be/w_F8Ea5gkwE

Transitioning from Christmas holidays to stodgy, well-behaved January can be no fun. Let Dine Out Vancouver Festival 2013 cushion the blow. Dine Out – Canada’s biggest restaurant festival – takes place from January 18 to February 3 this year with 230 participating restaurants and lots of exciting events including Street Food City II.

For those of you who have never taken part, participating Dine Out restaurants offers gourmands, gluttons and your average diners some really fancy cuisine at budget-friendly set prices (either $18, $28 or $38 per person). This is your chance to go try that restaurant you’ve been dreaming of trying without blowing $200. So pause that kale-enriched resolution-inspired marathon training and indulge.

The official list of restaurants will be released January 7, when online restaurant reservations begin. A few bloggers spilled the beans early. We’ve re-posted their Dine Out restaurant list below. As you will see, Kits is well represented. Get ready to pounce. With silverware.
