The downtown food press forgot uptown. We didn't.
Every July, the City of Toronto runs Summerlicious — a two-week stretch where 240-plus restaurants serve three-course prix-fixe menus at fixed prices. The 2026 edition runs Friday, July 3 through Sunday, July 19. The catch for anyone north of Bloor: the big food-blog roundups list King West, Ossington, and Corktown, and stop. North York barely registers — beyond a single mention of Auberge du Pommier.
So we pulled the full list. Below are all 31 participating restaurants across North York and uptown — from a $20 lunch at Tokyo Grill to a $75 dinner at Auberge du Pommier — grouped by neighbourhood, each with its three-course prices and a direct booking link. Most sit within a short walk of a Line 1 station, which means you can skip the downtown reservation scramble entirely.

Every menu lands on one of six set price points. Prices are per person, before tax and gratuity; beverages are extra, and the whole table orders the prix-fixe. Lunch is cheaper and easier to book — weekend dinners go first.
| Tier | Lunch (3 courses) | Dinner (3 courses) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 — value | $20 | $25 |
| 2 | $27 | $35 |
| 3 | $34 | $45 |

| 6 — top | $55 | $75 |
If you do one thing
Auberge du Pommier
4150 Yonge St, York Mills · Modern French
$55 lunch · $75 dinner
The North York marquee, and the one name every downtown guide does mention. A special-occasion French room tucked into the woods at Yonge & York Mills — Summerlicious is the cheapest way through its door. Practical note: underground parking at Yonge Corporate Centre is complimentary for dinner guests after 5:30pm.

The casual counterpoint
PAI Uptown
2335 Yonge St, Yonge & Eglinton · Northern Thai
$34 lunch · $45 dinner
If Auberge is the splurge, PAI Uptown is the easy, affordable answer — the uptown sibling of the perpetually packed downtown PAI, with gluten-free-friendly Northern Thai and simple OpenTable booking. The best-value sit-down on the Yonge line above Eglinton.

How to book without the scramble
⚠ The most common mix-up
You don't book through the City of Toronto.
The City runs the festival, but reservations happen directly with each restaurant — by phone or through OpenTable or their own site. When you book, say you want the Summerlicious prix-fixe menu so they seat you correctly.
Lunch is the value play — same three courses, lower price, and far easier to book than a weekend dinner.— North York Guide
A few practical notes pulled from the fine print: prices are per person, before tax and gratuity; beverages are extra; the whole table orders the prix-fixe; and some rooms skip Saturday and Sunday lunch. Weekend dinners at the marquee spots — Auberge du Pommier first among them — fill quickly, so reserve early. Uptown rooms generally hold availability longer than downtown ones.
Frequently asked
When is Summerlicious 2026?
July 3 through July 19, 2026 — 17 days. Reservations opened June 18, 2026, and are made directly with each restaurant.
Which North York restaurants are doing Summerlicious?
31 restaurants across North York and uptown — including Auberge du Pommier (York Mills), PAI Uptown (Yonge & Eglinton), Cactus Club Cafe (Yonge-Sheppard), Ju-Raku and Parcheggio (Bayview Village), Boccaccio (Lawrence West), and Coppi and CopaCabana (Yonge & Eglinton). The full list with prices and booking links is above.
How much does Summerlicious 2026 cost?
Every menu is three courses at a set price. Lunch tiers are $20, $27, $34, $41, $48, or $55. Dinner tiers are $25, $35, $45, $55, $65, or $75 — per person, before tax and gratuity. Beverages are extra.
Do I book through the City or the restaurant?
Directly with the restaurant — by phone or via OpenTable or their own booking page, never through the City. Mention you want the Summerlicious prix-fixe menu when you reserve.
Is lunch or dinner better value?
Lunch. The same three-course format costs less, and lunch tables are easier to book than weekend dinners, which sell out fast. Note that some restaurants skip Saturday and Sunday lunch.
Are reservations still available?
As of late June 2026, yes. Weekend dinner slots at marquee rooms like Auberge du Pommier book out first, so reserve early. Weekday lunches and uptown spots generally hold wider availability than downtown rooms.
