I’m not a food expert but I consider myself to be a foodie or simply – a good eater. A devourer of delicious foods. And living in Toronto, such a multi-cultural city with diverse neighbourhoods, we have abundant choices of cuisines and amazing restaurants.

Winterlicious, presented by American Express Canada and produced by the City of Toronto, is Toronto’s winter celebration of dining out, where food lovers can discover unique culinary events and 191 exciting local restaurants offering prix fixe menus. Amex Canada has a huge love affair with the dining industry, and loves bringing dining experiences to life. With 38 different cuisines in 13 neighbourhoods as well as 14 culinary events, there really is something for everyone.

There are too many amazing restaurants to choose from – I for one would love to visit Bangkok Garden, Wish, The Fifth Grill, Spacco, and Cantine Bistro just to name a few. I’d also want to revisit Pan, La Bruschetta, Jump, La Maquette and Splendido. If you decide to dine on the Danforth, be sure to visit  my friends over at 7 Numbers, Lolita’s Lust and Local.

For this year’s Winterlicious festival, I’m excited to be acting as an Amex Canada “roving reporter”; I’ll be having dinner at North 44 on January 31st and sharing my experience by live-tweeting and sharing my photos on Twitter and Instagram (@amotherworld).  See what the other roving reporters and I will be doing by following along with the #DineWithAmex and #LiciousTO hashtags.

  1. I went to winterlicious in Toronto for the 1st time last year and had a great experience. We tried a restaurant (would never have tried otherwise $$) and had a great taste of their prix fixe menu

  2. I also tried Winterlicious in Toronto for the the first time … hmm was it only last year? It was fantastic. The price was right and the quantity and quality of the food was amazing! So worth it! Have a great time….can’t wait to see your pictures and read your tweets! I think I need to make some Winterlicious reservations.

  3. Thanks so much for the reminder! Winterlicious is such a special event we should book our reservations now! I look forward to following your tasting exploits!

  4. Although I live in the UK, I am Canadian and travel to Toronto very regularly. (My son is at college in London, Ontario.) I’ve never heard of Winterlicious and I’m so happy to learn about it. It sounds wonderful!

  5. I love winterlicious! It’s such a great way to try new restaurants that you may not normally go to. 🙂
