Published on Main suits food lovers planning one serious dinner in Mount Pleasant, at a restaurant that holds a Michelin star and placed 17th on North America's 50 Best Restaurants 2026, and the trade-off is a long evening, since the twelve-course Harvest menu runs two and a half to three hours.

- Kentucky fried maitake
- Everything all the time milk bun
Published on Main builds its seasonal menus on British Columbia's produce at 3593 Main Street, and its own site lists a Michelin star and 17th place on North America's 50 Best Restaurants 2026. Every night the kitchen serves a twelve-course fall tasting menu called Harvest, and it draws on BC's orchards and forests. The restaurant books two guests for 2.75 hours and groups of three or four for 3 hours.
The à la carte menu is meant for sharing. Michelin's inspectors singled out the Fraser Valley duck with a tableside pour of lingonberry sauce. On the menu online in October 2026, plates ran from $9 for smoked and candied steelhead to $69 for the duck or the birch-grilled beef striploin. Kentucky fried maitake with garlic scape ranch cost $19.
Over the holidays Published runs a five-course family-style dinner at a long table in its lounge. A daily cut of meat anchors it, and the kitchen can't swap the main course. The site gives no dates for it yet, so check before you plan a December evening around it.
Worth knowing
- Tell the restaurant about allergies at least 72 hours before a tasting menu, since it handles one dietary request per booking.
- Cancel or change a tasting menu booking at least 48 hours ahead, because later changes forfeit your payment.
