ByBlacks Restaurant Week 2023 Spring Edition is a love letter to Black food

The Fifth edition of the ByBlacks Restaurant week expands into Atlantic Canada

ByBlacks Restaurant Week, which is fast approaching next week, May 15-21, 2023 continues to expand nationally with Black-owned Canadian restaurants offering prix fixe menus for delicious African, Caribbean and fusion cuisines.

“Black Opportunity Fund is pleased to support Black Restaurant Week. This partnership builds on our ongoing commitment to supporting Black entrepreneurs across Canada through funding and capacity-building initiatives,” says Craig Wellington, Executive Director of the Black Opportunity Fund. 

For the first time there are participants from the Atlantic (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.)

“The sun is finally shining after a long, cold winter and we’re thrilled to invite our communities to these restaurants,” says ByBlacks.com Co-Founder, Roger Dundas. “We can’t wait for Canadians from coast to coast to taste the flavours of Africa, the Caribbean and more. There was a time when tacos and sushi weren’t as popular as they are now. Now it’s time for Black food to get to that level too!” 

Participating establishments are offering discounts ranging between 10-25% off regular pricing. 

ByBlacks Restaurant Week is proud to feature cuisine from many different Black communities. Yes, you can get jerk chicken, but it’s so much more than that. This is gastronomy that much of the Canadian public may not know about yet, but will quickly become a new family favourite.

This years media sponsors include FEVA TV, Canada Takeout, Caribbean Vibrations TV, Cuisine Noir, Jump Podcast, The Caribbean Camera, and The Morning Vibe.

With so many food service businesses suffering the effects of staff shortages and the rise in food costs, just keeping the lights on can be about all small business owners can do. With Restaurant Week, the people who are the backbone of our local economies get their chance to shine. 

Restaurant Week participants can be found in over 40 restaurants in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. 

ByBlacks Restaurant Week is supported by Canadian membership organizations; Afro Canadian Business Network, Black Business Association of British Columbia, Black Business and Professional Association,Black Business Initiative, Black Opportunity Fund, Discover Halifax, and the Federation of African Canadian Economics.
