3 noteworthy new Vancouver restaurants to check out this weekend
Please note: As recommended by BC’s health officials, indoor gatherings of any kind and unessential travel in the province are not recommended at this time. Currently, outdoor gatherings of up to 10 people are permitted, but use COVID-19 layers of protection and maintain physical distancing. Please adhere to COVID-19 health and safety measures, including proper physical distancing and frequent hand washing, and wearing a mask or face-covering in public indoor and retail spaces. If you are sick, please stay home.
There are many things we can’t do at the moment, but eating and drinking our days away is not one of those things (thank goodness).
Restaurants and bars continue to open their doors in and around Vancouver while abiding by public health orders, and we continue to stay hungry.
Here are three noteworthy new restaurants to check out in Vancouver this weekend.
