Building on strong diner demand, the renewed agreement extends the Visa Dining Collection in Mexico and Canada and expands exclusive dining events across North America
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — OpenTable, a global leader in restaurant technology, and Visa, a world leader in digital payments, today announced a renewed agreement across the U.S., Mexico and Canada. The next phase will broaden the Visa Dining Collection in Mexico and Canada and deliver an expanded events program, giving eligible Visa cardholders more ways to discover and book memorable dining experiences across the three countries.
The Visa Dining Collection Grows Across Canada and Mexico
The Visa Dining Collection will continue as part of a new multi-year agreement in Canada and Mexico, providing eligible Visa cardholders with exclusive access to sought-after restaurant reservations in Mexico City, Monterrey, Los Cabos and Cancun, as well as Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and surrounding areas.
The participating portfolio includes restaurants from MICHELIN Starred venues to local favorites and beloved culinary destinations. Existing restaurants within the Visa Dining Collection are returning to the program including Mon Lapin and Rôtisserie La Lune in Montreal, LOREA and Pargot in Mexico City and KOLI in Monterrey, with new additions coming soon.
Eligible Visa cardholders in Mexico and Canada will also have access to a new roster of exclusive dining events and experiences featuring renowned chefs and rising culinary stars. Eligible Visa Infinite cardholders world-wide traveling to Mexico or Canada will be able to book held tables and events at participating restaurants through the Visa Dining Collection, while those visiting the U.S. can access and book special events.
“We’re excited to enter into a new era of our collaboration with Visa that brings more restaurants to the Visa Dining Collection in Canada and Mexico, and a roster of unmatched experiential dining events you won’t be able to find anywhere else,” said Robin Chiang, Chief Growth Officer at OpenTable. “To-date, OpenTable and Visa have helped restaurants fill millions of seats, translating to increased revenue potential for restaurants, while creating memorable experiences for diners.
Events Continue in the U.S. Following Strong Demand
In addition to delivering events programming in Mexico and Canada, OpenTable and Visa are expanding their events program in the U.S. through 2029.
The expansion comes following a successful events calendar over the past two years, which saw over 80 bespoke events, the majority of which sold out. This includes Friends in Town, where chefs invited their friends to town to cook one-of-a-kind collaboration dinners, and Off the Clock, an after-hours dining experience inspired by late-night chef rituals. It also reflects a growing demand for dining experiences that go beyond the norm, which diners are seeking out more than ever. This year, 48% of Americans said they are more likely to dine at a restaurant when it’s hosting a pop-up, collaboration, or special experience.
