This year’s event features more than 240 restaurants across Toronto, each serving curated three-course prix fixe menus at lunch and dinner — with prices ranging from $20 to $55 for lunch, and $25 to $75 for dinner. Whether you’re returning to a trusted classic or trying something new, Winterlicious is a rare chance to savour the city at exceptional value.
What Makes Winterlicious Special?
Launched in 2003 by the City of Toronto, the Winterlicious and Summerlicious programs were created to support local restaurants during slower periods — and have since generated more than $353 million in economic activity while serving over eight million meals.
For diners, it’s more than just a deal — it’s an invitation to explore global cuisine, discover new neighbourhoods, and support local chefs who bring their culinary vision to life.
