Winterlicious 2017 starts soon in Toronto, and if you don't stop and go eat out, you might miss it. The annual (well, semi-annual if you count Summerlicious) culinary extravaganza runs from January 27 to February 9 at 220 restaurants across the city.
If you want to try one of the city's top restaurants, you should probably book yourself a table in the coming days. You can start making ; Winterlicious reservations on January 12 by contacting the restaurants directly.
Like last year, the prix fixe lunch menus are either $18, $23 or $28 and dinner will cost you $28, $38 or $48 for a three-course meal. In some cases, that's a substantial discount. Now, where should you eat?
