A Bite of Shunde Extends 2-Year Anniversary Celebrations
If you’ve been looking for an elegant, celebratory reason to gather around a round table this winter, A Bite of Shunde has you covered.
The Richmond restaurant is marking its second anniversary with a season-long celebration that stretches from the holidays through Dine Out Vancouver Festival 2025 and into Chinese New Year, spotlighting the refined flavours and communal spirit of authentic Shunde-style Cantonese cuisine.
Inspired by Shunde — a UNESCO City of Gastronomy — A Bite of Shunde is known for its ingredient-driven cooking, precise techniques, and dishes designed to be shared. It’s a natural fit for festive dining, family milestones, and corporate gatherings alike.
