Since we missed out on Summerlicious this past spring and will likely have to do without Winterlicious next year, it’s super exciting to share that the Toronto tourist board has launched DineOutTO which in addition to supporting local restaurants, also gives diners a chance to score a deal on a great meal as well. The program is on now through October 30 and hundreds of Toronto restaurants that are located across the city are taking part.
Here’s 10 of our Favourite Hotspots to Take Advantage of Dine Out TO:
Aburi Tora
Known for their outstanding sushi is Aburi Tora, the sister restaurant of downtown fave Miku, and if you’ve got a craving, this is the place to go. Exclusively for DineOutTO, if you spend $20 before tax, you’ll receive a complimentary 3-piece Chef’s Daily Selection Nigiri Plate.
Cibo Wine Bar
Got a thing for bread? Honestly, who doesn’t?! During DineOutTO, you can score free housemade focaccia at Cibo Wine Bar locations on King, Yonge, and in Yorkville. All you have to do is spend at least $30 and tell your server about prior to ordering about this promotion. Free bread? Yes please!
