Winterlicious 2018 is coming. Although Toronto may feel like a scene out of Game of Thrones lately, fortunately we don’t have to go to battle, but we do get to enjoy great deals on special menus at more than 200 of Toronto’s restaurants.

Restaurants start taking reservations for prix fixe dinners on January 11, which cost between $33 and $53. Three-course lunches cost between $23 and $33, and Winterlicious runs from January 26 to February 8.
