Downtown Dining 2008, featuring some of Burlington’s finest restaurants, takes place on
Sunday, July 13, starting at 11:15 am at City Hall. The popular walking tour will once again provide an opportunity for both Burlington residents and visitors to sample some exciting cuisine, learn more about our downtown and support arts and culture in the city at the same time. 17 restaurants have agreed to participate.
In addition, entertainment has been lined up at many of the locations. Last year, 620 guests enjoyed a wonderful afternoon while helping to raise $27,000 to support PAB operations, including our Arts Development Program. Check out www.downtowndining.ca for details on the event and lots of information on your favourite downtown restaurants.

Marc's breads and café foods are equal to the world's best as he was trained in San Francisco by the world's leading teacher of Artisanal bread making, Master Baker Didier Rosada.
