A Bountiful Culinary Scene
Prince George is a destination that delights the palate. Home to nearly 90,000 residents, the city boasts a vibrant and diverse food culture, with around 15 featured stops included in the passport.

Indigenous Dining in Prince George
Prince George is rooted in the ancestral, unceded territory of the Lheidli T’enneh First Nation. Lheidli T’enneh means “People from the Confluence of Two River”—the Fraser River and the Néchaco River.
Stop by the House of Ancestors Café or the Eagles Nest Restaurant at the Aberdeen Glen Golf Club to get a taste!
As its name suggests, Bites, Flights + Sights also features attractions such as golf courses, historic sites, museums, and shops.
Bites, Flights + Sights inspires discovery, according to Tourism Prince George’s Executive director. "It’s an invitation to venture beyond the familiar, support local businesses, and create memorable experiences along the way."
