Dine the Villages Event Feb 15-28, 2026
Dine the Villages is our very own take on Dine Out and we’re excited to launch our first annual celebration of the amazing local restaurants in Ambleside and Dundarave. From beloved neighbourhood favourites to spots you’ve been meaning to try, this is a chance to enjoy great food while supporting the businesses that help make our villages feel like home.
We are incredibly grateful to the restaurants participating in this year’s event. Running a restaurant has never been tougher. Nearly 50% of restaurants across BC are struggling, with food, labour, and rent costs continuing to rise, while customer traffic is down. For many, simply keeping the doors open has become a daily challenge. That’s why events like Dine the Villages matter. When you choose to dine locally, you’re supporting small business owners, local jobs, and the vibrant street life that makes Ambleside and Dundarave such special places to visit and live.
If you have a favourite restaurant in Ambleside or Dundarave — or you’re looking to discover a new one — please be sure to pay them a visit and show your support.
