2017 Taste of Yaletown @ The Keg

 
 

The Yaletown Business Improvement Association (YBIA) is proud to announce the 13th annual Taste of Yaletown (TOY), a popular community-based event that invites the public to try a variety of dishes from 26 premier restaurants throughout the neighbourhood. From October 11 to 27th, Vancouver’s top chefs will feature special 3-course meals themed around ‘pairings and sharings’. Restaurants will offer exclusive featured menus, innovative pairings, and special menus with set prices of $25, $35, and $45. 

In celebration of all things food, a donation will be given to The Greater Vancouver Food Bank. Since the event began, Taste of Yaletown has proudly donated over $115,000 in support of the Greater Vancouver Food Bank.

Disclosure: We were invited to have a media preview at two restaurants that are participating in Taste of Yaletown. Service, food quality and portions could be boosted for media which is why I won't be reviewing till I return as a regular customer.

We got to check out the 3 course menu at The Keg which is offering it for $45. The Keg needs no introduction. As usual, they offer a fairly consistent quality across their franchises for an affordable value.
