A brand new event is coming to Canada this April and it’s a celebration of Filipino cuisine. From April 1 to April 30, restaurants nationwide will participate in Filipino Restaurant Month for the very first time, including some in Metro Vancouver!

The new festival, presented by Philippine Department of Tourism (PDOT) and the Philippine Consulate General in Calgary, will allow Canadians to experience Filipino cuisine in a whole new way. And naturally, a few spots around Vancouver have joined the fun!

Vancouver

Max’s Restaurant – 3546 Kingsway
Pampanga’s Cuisine – 5179 Joyce Street, 6094 Fraser Street

Surrey

Grandt Kitchen – 10257 King George Boulevard
Lyra Lou Cakes – 102-14370 64 Avenue

Richmond

Kumare – 8130 Park Road
Smokehouse Sandwich Co. – 5188 Westminster Highway

New Westminster

Plato Filipino – 892 Carnarvon Street

Delta

Kumare – 8047 120 Street

According to a press release, the menus at each of these spots will highlight “the unique variety of Filipino food, ingredients, chefs, and restaurants.” And we have to admit, they picked some great ‘ambassadors’ for the cuisine!

And, as a final bonus, those who do swing by and enjoy the prix-fixe menus at each of these spots could win a little something as well! Local prizes include up to $50 in gift cards, while national prizes include “domestic airfare within the Philippines, hotel/resort accommodations, and a day tour for two.”

So, if you’re looking for some delicious food in April, make sure to keep Filipino Restaurant Month in Metro Vancouver in mind!
