🍳 There’s a $500 dinner coming to Oak Bay
September 19, 2026 · 5 min read
Good morning, Oak Bay. A dinner ticket in Oak Bay costs $500. Yes, five hundred. It comes with five chefs, Canadian drink pairings, Tom Cochrane and a culinary competition. We went through the lineup and the fine print below. If that is not your Tuesday dinner budget, Chef on the Run has beef stew, lasagna and eggplant parmesan on the September 16 to 22 menu. And the quick Rec update: it reopened yesterday, Friday, September 18. The centre is open. The waterslides are still closed.
