In its 8th year, Taste of Yaletown is an annual community-based event inviting Vancouverites to enjoy culinary offerings from Taste of Yaletown’s best restaurants. Each restaurant presents exclusive three-course menus at pre-fixed prices of $25, $35 or $45. The event has gained momentum over the past 8 years, but according to organizer Annette O’Shea of the Yaletown Business Improvement Association, “We realized that Vancouver was craving something more this year, so we added two new ticketed events for the first time in Taste of Yaletown history.”
