Canada invites Americans into Canadian Homes with launch of OpenHome
Destination Canada recently launched OpenHome, a series of bookable dinners that invite Americans to experience Canada’s legendary warmth and sense of hospitality in real Canadian homes, nationwide.
From Vancouver to Quebec to Halifax, OpenHome hosts represent the diverse fabric of Canada, including teachers, artists, cooks, farmers, and families eager to share a meal and a moment of connection with guests.
“There is always room for one more at our table; that’s who we are as Canadians,” said Gloria Loree, Senior Vice President of Marketing Strategy & Chief Marketing Officer at Destination Canada. “With OpenHome, we’re inviting Americans to join us and share stories in the warmth of our homes.”
How It Works
Americans -but obviously any other nationality- can browse hosts, sample menus, and available dates. Bookings are available since November 13, 2025 . The booking period goes up to February 28, 2026. Visit opentable.com/openhome to book an OpenHome experience.
“Inviting people into our home for dinner feels so natural, it’s almost an extension of inviting people into our restaurant,” said Claire Iassam, a Vancouver-local and business owner whose dining room is bookable on OpenHome. “All I ever want to do is be surrounded by nice people and nice food. That’s how I was raised, and it feels like how most Canadians I know were raised. Connection always happens at the dinner table.”
Recently ranked Americans’ top recommended international destination according to YouGov, Canada continues to be celebrated for its authenticity. With OpenHome, Destination Canada is turning dining reservations into shared experiences that build compassion and connection and cultural exchange, one meal at a time.
