With an aim to support the recovery and revival of Toronto’s restaurants, this year’s Summerlicious program would provide the enticing experiences and delectable food that restaurant-goers expect from the popular Summerlicious program,  the release said.

The program has been renewed to help generate much-needed revenue for the industry while encouraging people to travel the world with Summerlicious.

The City continues to work with partners in the hospitality sector and Toronto’s network of BIAs to develop and deliver programs supporting restaurants, main streets, and independent businesses.

Aiming to boost Toronto’s restaurant industry during typically slow periods of business, the City of Toronto created 2002 the Winterlicious and Summerlicious programs, following which participating restaurants have served more than 7.9 million meals, generating more than $353 million in economic activity for the local restaurant industry.
