Toronto’s most delicious culinary celebration of local flavours returns this summer! From July 4 to July 20, more than 220 local restaurants will participate in Summerlicious 2025, so foodies can enjoy three-course prix fixe lunch and dinner menus at a range of reasonable price points.
If anything, it provides the best excuse to reconnect with friends over lunch or even treat yourself to a multi-course dinner (without breaking the bank)!
Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of Summerlicious 2025.

What is Summerlicious?
The concept is similar to Winterlicious: participating restaurants across the city create special three-course prix fixe menus at set price points, so patrons can experience high-quality dining at a fraction of the regular cost.
The event was launched in 2003 to help boost sales at Toronto’s restaurant scene during slower months. And it worked. To date, it’s generated more than $353 million in economic activity, with over 8 million meals served!
How much does it cost?
Prix fixe meals are as follows:
Lunch: $20 / $27 / $34 / $41 / $48 / $55
Dinner: $25 / $35 / $45 / $55 / $65 / $75
Do I have to make a reservation?
It’s a good idea! Reservations are now open, and diners are encouraged to book directly with participating restaurants.
What’s new this year?
New locations to this year’s lineup include 1Kitchen, Abrielle, Alder, AYLA, Casa Madera, Chotto Matte, JaBistro, Kiin, Korean Village, La Nayarita, Ngogo, Patois, Salt Wine Bar, Seoul House, The Porch Light and more! You can see a complete list of participating restaurants and their menus on the City’s Summerlicious webpage.
