It’s no secret Vancouver has some of the best eats in the entire world, but did you know that you will soon be able to put your dining-out dollars toward a good cause?
Yelp Eats Week is a perfect way for Vancouverites to explore some of the best restaurants in the lower mainland while supporting an amazing local hunger relief organization: For every $30 spent per table in 7 participating restaurants during Yelp Eats Week, the restaurant will donate $10 (with a maximum of $60 per table) to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society!
