Prepare your taste buds for a tantalizing journey as we delve into the details of three anniversary celebrations and mouthwatering menu updates around Greater Vancouver, Canada.

Nuba's 20th Anniversary Block Party: A Feast for the Senses

First on the list, we have Nuba, the acclaimed Lebanese restaurant group, marking its 20th anniversary with a spectacular block party and Lebanese feast. On July 16, from 2-10 p.m., Nuba will transform the area in front of their Mount Pleasant location into a vibrant celebration. 

Founder Victor Bouzide has come a long way since 2003, and is celebrating Nuba’s 20th anniversary in Vancouver, BC!

Since opening its doors in 2003, Nuba has grown from strength to strength, expanding to four award-winning restaurants in Vancouver. Founder Victor Bouzide introduced his family recipes, which date back to the 1800s and have become a hit. 

The anniversary event will feature live DJs, an extensive Lebanese community feast, and a well-stocked bar. Guests can indulge in delicious dishes such as grilled skewers, braised lamb, salads, pastries, and Nuba's iconic Najib's Special. The bar will serve an array of natural wines, craft beer, cocktails, and fresh-pressed juices.
