Some restaurants in Okanagan, Kamloops hope you'll 'dine around'
Dine Around BC is returning this year with dozens of dining options in Kamloops and the Okanagan as restaurants face the traditionally slow time of the year following the holidays.
Restaurants all around the province have created three-course menus that range in price from $25 to $65, according to a BC and Foodservices Association media release. The Dine Around special menus are available from Jan. 17 through Feb. 11 at select restaurants.
There will be a launch party for the event in Kelowna on Jan. 16 at Metro Hub where chefs will show off samples from their menus.
