Burnaby Restaurants

Bite of Burnaby is an annual Metro Vancouver festival where local restaurants and cafés offer special lunch and dinner menus at discounted prices in March.

The special restaurant deals in Burnaby runs from March 1st to 31st in 2026.

The Bite of Burnaby Culinary Festival

Looking to explore new restaurants or different types of cuisine in Metro Vancouver’s third-largest municipality? Tourism Burnaby produces an annual festival for just that! Bite of Burnaby is a great opportunity to sample multicultural cuisine at lower prices than usual.

Similar to the Dine Out Vancouver Festival which takes place earlier in the year, Bite of Burnaby features fixed-price menus and special deals, but just at Burnaby restaurants. The festival is a good time to visit and support local dining establishments in the city. There are also various prizes to be won each week, in addition to a grand prize draw.

Bite of Burnaby runs throughout the month of March each year, from March 1st to 31st. This remains the same in 2026.
