Set menus to enjoy all season long

Now that Winterlicious has ended, are you missing prix fixe menus?

Don’t fret, the city is full of options. And they're not limited to weekends, dinner or special occasions either.

Because you’ve got enough decisions to make without having to pour through pages of menu options, here's a round up of restaurants with set menus to enjoy all winter.

(Please note menu items, ingredients and prices subject to change.)

Ruby Watchco.

730 Queen St E
Toronto, ON

This Riverside/Leslieville resto doesn’t just offer an occasional set menu – there’s one available every night of the week.

The four-course menu ($54 pp HST) changes daily, but always consists of: salad, main with three sides, cheese course and dessert. There are also supplements available to round out your meal.

All items are made in house with ingredients from local suppliers and farmers and dinner is served family style. Here’s a peek at Thursday’s menu:
