Eat, Drink and Be Worldly at Summerlicious

Contributed by Umbereen Inayet

summerliciousCalling all Torontonians and visitors alike! One of two main culinary events in the city, Summerlicious is back beginning tomorrow!

Sister festival to Winterlicious, this program offers amazing three-course prix-fixe menus at three different price points that spare your budget while letting you expand your culinary horizons!

Now in its eighth year, the City’s ‘licious,’ programs continue to be hugely successful year after year.  Why? Because Toronto is a culinary capital! One of the most multicultural cities on earth, Toronto embraces its love of community, culture and art through food.

The program’s popularity means that many restaurants sell out quickly. My advice? Book as early as possible to avoid disappointment. And if you don’t get a table at the resto you covet the most, keep calling to see if there’s been a cancellation. If you can’t get in for dinner, book a lunch. Friday and Saturday nights always fill up first so why not treat yourself to a Tuesday night out? You deserve it!

Summerlicious offers something for everyone. Yes, you can experience fine dining and haute cuisine, but there’s also a wide range of local and ethnic cuisines to sample across a spectrum of neighbourhoods, not just downtown. Whether you pick a restaurant in Queen West, Yorkville, Parkdale, Little India or Chinatown, you’ll find art, shopping and vibrant street culture to go with your meal.

Summerlicious is a perfect way to beat the heat, have a foodie adventure and experience the growing culinary empire that exists in our city!

WHERE/WHEN: Summerlicious hits 150 restaurants across the city July 9 – 25.
