✨ A Festival Without a Stage

Summerlicious is unlike any other entry on this site, because there’s no park, no gate, and no single address to visit. Launched by the City of Toronto in 2003 alongside its winter counterpart Winterlicious, it was originally created to boost the restaurant industry during a slower stretch of the calendar — and it’s grown into one of the city’s most recognizable food events, having served more than eight million meals and generated over $353 million in economic activity for local restaurants since it began.

For two and a half weeks, more than 240 restaurants across every corner of Toronto put out special three-course lunch and dinner menus at fixed prices — from neighbourhood favourites to fine dining rooms with skyline views. It’s as much a city-wide invitation to explore as it is a deal: a reason to finally try the restaurant you’ve been meaning to visit, or to discover a cuisine and neighbourhood you don’t normally make time for.

This year’s edition runs Friday, July 3 through Sunday, July 19, 2026, with more than 30 restaurants joining the program for the first time.

💵 How Pricing Works

Each restaurant sets its own three-course menu price from one of these official tiers — taxes and gratuity are added separately and are not included in the listed price.

☀️ Lunch: $20 / $27 / $34 / $41 / $48 / $55 🌙 Dinner: $25 / $35 / $45 / $55 / $65 / $75

Lunch menus tend to offer the best value, since the experience is often similar to dinner at a lower price point — though some restaurants don’t offer the lunch promotion on weekends, so it’s worth confirming when you book.

📋 Essentials

💡 A Few Things Worth Knowing Before You Go

📞 Book early, especially for popular spots. High-demand restaurants and weekend dinner slots can fill up within hours of reservations opening.

🗺️ Use the filter, not just the headlines. With 240+ restaurants, the official site’s neighbourhood and cuisine filters are the fastest way to narrow things down to what’s actually near you.

💰 Factor in tax and tip. Listed prices are food-only — taxes and gratuity (sometimes added automatically for larger groups) will bring the final bill up.

🍽️ Try lunch for better value. Lunch menus are priced lower than dinner across every tier, making them a good way to sample a higher-end restaurant for less.
