Summerlicious 2023 returns today until Sunday, July 23, with delicious prix fixe lunch and dinner menus at more than 200 local restaurants. Three-course prix fixe menus are priced between $20 to $55 for lunch and $25 to $75 for dinner.
Councillor Shelley Carroll (Don Valley North), Chair of the Economic and Community Development Committee, was joined by Councillor Chris Moise (Toronto Centre) and Chef Adam Lafleur at the new Summerlicious participating restaurant Constantine at 15 Charles St. E. to kick off Toronto’s favourite summer foodie event.
This year, the Summerlicious webpage can be filtered by Summerlicious prix fixe menus to find gluten-free options. Among the participating restaurants in Summerlicious 2023, 35 per cent are offering three-course gluten-free meals as part of their prix fixe menus.
More than 70 per cent of the participating restaurants are providing three-course vegetarian meals, while nearly 20 per cent are featuring three-course vegan options as part of their Summerlicious prix fixe menus.
