Les Dames d’Escoffier Julia Child Dine Around Wednesday, August 15th – 6:30 pm

Cost of the Event: $69 per person exclusive of gratuity

On August 15th we celebrate Julia Child’s 100th Birthday with a dinner party to end all dinner parties. Same night. Same time. Same price. One table in over 40 restaurants and cooking schools across BC.

Be part of Canada’s largest dinner party as Les Dames d’Escoffier presents the Julia Child Dine Around. Concurrent dinners across British Columbia with restaurants and cooking schools from Vancouver to Whistler, Victoria to Kelowna, Langley to Bowen Island and Seattle, each donating one table with a set menu and wine, as we celebrate the Grande Dame of cooking, on what would have been her 100th birthday (August 15, 1912 – August 13, 2004)

Choose a new restaurant or one of your favourites. Buy a couple of seats at the table, or take the entire table. Some venues have donated 4 seats, some 6, a cooking school has donated 20 seats!

Each restaurant is priced exactly the same with different multi course menus paired with wine (approximately 2 glasses per person so please make alternative driving arrangements). Everything is included except gratuity. Restaurants have designed their menu to highlight their own cuisine, with inspiration from the recipes of Julia Child.

Please note, this is a night to celebrate food, and although health related allergies will be taken into consideration, the menus are set so no special requests can be accommodated.
