Dine Railtown is the new dine-out festival in historic Strathcona neighbourhood

November 1, 2019 @ 12:00 am - November 30, 2019 @ 12:00 am PDT

Nine leading Railtown restaurants and cafés will come together to showcase the heart of a growing culinary community and help support a community-serving organization when the month-long Dine Railtown initiative debuts on November 1.

Supported by the Strathcona Business Improvement Association (SBIA) of which the Railtown neighbourhood resides, Dine Railtown sees such establishments as Ask For LuigiThe Belgard Kitchen and The Mackenzie Room offer an exclusive feature from November 1 to 30 with proceeds from the sale of each item earmarked for programming at the Powell Street Getaway, one of 42 sites operated by the Lookout Housing and Health Society across Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island.

The Powell Street Getaway at 528 Powell Street, is a peer-led resource centre that supports people living with chronic illnesses, addictions and/or mental health challenges. Funds raised from Dine Railtown will be put directly towards Powell Street Getaway programming and initiatives.

“We’re proud of the owner-operated small businesses that have come to define Railtown as a true dining destination in Vancouver,” says Theodora Lamb, Executive Director at the SBIA. “It’s an opportunity for people to discover some of what this area has to offer through a culinary lens while, at the same time, building connections to the community in which these businesses operate.
