Winterlicious begins today and runs for two tasty weeks. Nearly 200 restaurants across the city will offer prix fixe lunch menus priced at $23, $28 and $33, and dinner menus priced at $33, $43 and $53 until February 7.

Winterlicious welcomes nine new participants to the program this year: Aanch Modernistic Indian Cuisine, Amsterdam Barrel House, Barsa Taberna, David Duncan House, KOST, Momo San, Parcheggio, The Fix Resto Bar and Wynona. A list of all participating restaurants is available at http://www.toronto.ca/winterlicious.

"The Winterlicious program is an amazing success story that helps so many businesses across our city while giving residents a great experience in the midst of winter," said Mayor John Tory. "With nearly 200 participating restaurants and 12 unique culinary events, there is something for everyone to enjoy during Winterlicious."

"Winterlicious proves that cold weather doesn’t stop foodies from exploring Toronto’s amazing restaurant scene," said Deputy Mayor Michael Thompson, Chair of the Economic and Community Development Committee. "They can’t wait to try out the delicious diversity of food that the city has to offer."
