The contest offers Canadians an opportunity to nominate their most-loved beef dishes at local restaurants, with a chance for someone in each region to win $200 for participating as nominators

 

The contest will also crown a restaurant winner from each province, with each provincial champion advancing to the national finale. Provincial winners will receive a prize pack valued at $1000, and the national winner will take home a grand prize valued at $5000.

The nomination window will run from March until November 30, 2025, giving Canadians ample time to try local beef dishes and nominate their favourites.

 

 “The contest champions beef while serving as a reminder of the vital role that restaurants play in our communities”

 

“It’s more important than ever to support local,” says Director of the Canadian Beef Information Restaurant Gateway, Kelly Hyde. “The Best Canadian Beef Dishes Contest allows Canadians an opportunity to champion their most-loved beef dishes on the Restaurant Gateway for others to discover and enjoy while serving as a reminder of the vital role that restaurants play in our communities.”

 

The Restaurant Gateway is an online hub dedicated to celebrating Canada’s high-quality beef and the farmers and ranchers who produce it. This comprehensive resource features a Where to Eat directory, helping diners discover restaurant chains that serve Canadian beef, along with insights into the restaurant industry’s beneficial impact on local communities. Restaurant Gateway visitors can explore exclusive videos from farmers, ranchers and chefs from across the country, highlighting their dedication to Canadian beef.

The Restaurant Gateway will also house the Best Canadian Beef Dishes Contest and over time, offer diners in each province a list of nominated restaurants serving delicious beef dishes.
