The summer edition of Toronto’s foodie solstice is so close we can almost taste it! From July 3 to July 19, 150 of Toronto’s top restaurants are serving up gourmet prix fixe menu items at discounted prices. With so many options and so little time, reserving wisely can mean the difference between a humdrum deal and a life-altering meal. Here are the Top 20 Summerlicious restaurants that have favers (and us) talking year-round and are definitely worth the gorge this season:
1. 5th Elementt
“Best Lamb Shank I have ever tasted…”
“Amaya’s reputation of fresh ingredients, carefully selected flavour combinations and its goal to offer better-than-average Indian food is well-loved by locals of its Bayview and Eglinton neighbourhood and food lovers all over Toronto. I call it “upscale Indian…”
“They have a great summer patio and lovely food…”
4. Bymark
“The best burger I have ever had… ever….”
5. Canoe
“The food is incredible, the service is equally incredible and the view is spectacular. If you haven’t been then you must go!”
6.Célestin
“They say a great creme brulee is the mark of a great chef and so a great restaurant. I can’t say I’ve met too pots de creme I didn’t like, but Celestin’s is outstanding…”
7. Corner House
“When making a reservation, ask to be in the room with the fireplace…”
“They have it all, including a rooftop patio for all seasons. ECO-ASPECT – The menus are built from organic, ‘local and seasonal ingredients and inspired by Anthony Rose.’”
“Comfort food at a comfortable restaurant. What more could you want?”
10. Embrujo Flamenco
“Embrujo Flamenco embraces all the charm of Spanish dining and the joys of a truly unique tapas cuisine…”
11. Flow
“Definitely not the sort of place I’d grab lunch every day (it would take my whole paycheque to cover a week’s meals!) but wow, lovely place for a special occasion…”
12. Kultura
“Everything Kultura does, it does well. The lively main floor lounge onlooking King East (think big windows, long booth-seating, and exposed brick) is a nice place to grab some drinks…”
13. Madeline’s
“Chef “Dom” or Dominic Armanal is the mastermind in the kitchen at Madeline’s. Once in a while, you’ll even see him step out of the kitchen…”
14. MoRoCo Chocolat
“Delightfully feminine spot that consists of a white and airy store front with a beautifully dark café at the side…”
15. Pangaea
“I enjoy other meats over fish but I always order fish at Pangea, it’s sure to delight…”
16. Quince
“The dishes themselves are a nice treat from the ordinary restaurant in Toronto’s midtown…”
“The outside of the restaurant looks like an entrance to an old bank…”
18. Southern Accent
“They have a drink called the Bourbon Bubbles – a sugar cube soaked in bourbon, dropped in a glass of champagne…”
19. The Old Mill Inn
“A rustic and traditional property, the architecture is reminiscent of an inn somewhere in the Swiss countryside – it’s no wonder so many Toronto natives retreat to the Old Mill on weekends and for events…”
“Chocolate torte…it was excellent. Warm and not too sweet. The peanut butter-flavoured cream worked well too…”
Here’s to another great Summerlicious season! And don’t forget to tell us all the juicy details about your feast afterwards!
