Wonderful World Trip Via Winterlicious 2018

To all those who have not travelled the world , rest assured you can still do so through Winterlicious 2018 . In regards to this post I shall define Winterlicious as the opportunity to try out various cuisines through a fixed price menu and enjoy a sample of what the restaurant has to offer.

So for all you working professionals in Toronto who want to enjoy a world tour over your business lunches or dinners, going global will do you good esp given how globalization is so prominent.

Many people rank the spots based on ambiance and forget about the cuisine. Now the ambiance of all the places is decent enough to have a meal but some places offer an ambiance and a cuisine that takes you on a journey across the world.

When I plan summerlicious /winterlicious outings with my groups my goal is to make sure we all try something new that we are unable to get in town or at home.

Do not confine yourself to basic pedestrian stuff but rather broaden your experiences and try something new.

In an ideal world I would be planning a lunch and dinner every single day for the duration of licious. but the reality is that we usually do 1-3 places per licious .

Tip: (1) Go with adventurous people about 2 or 3 others so you can put a bit of your dish in each persons side plate and thereby sample more dishes.. 4 people trying each others three course dishes works out to 12 dishes in one day. Pretty good and you are transported to a different region of the world as you enjoy every mouthful of what you eat.

(2)Do your research . If someone suggests an option make sure u see the reviews, menus etc and whether u will get a wonderful dining experience. Now I know that its also about the company but in this case you must make sure the food part is covered too. Makes for a wholesome experience.

Now here are my recommendations for people to try this Winterlicious 2018 in no particular order

Arisu>Korean/Japanese Food.

Bangkok Garden Authentic Thai cusine

Banu-Iranian

Casa Manila> Filipino

Chiado-Portuguese

Lena-Argentinian

Los Colibris-Mexican, skip churros and dulce du lece dishes as they r easily available but try the other wonderful dishes that r on the menu

Mochica-Peruvian, try the alpaca as tartare or braised if the option is available

R & D - modern Chinese fusion . Go for the one item you feel you cant get elsewhere and is not something common. After seeing the dinner menu I would recommend starting w prawn tart, the salmon belly as main, and yuzu tart for dessert

Rodeo- Brazilian dining thats ayce within a time limit where u make trips to salad bar, servers come to u with meat and the dessert items .

Below are the famous place, in my opinion that that one must do a licious at due to their reputation for serving great food and ambiance and u must dine there .

So aim to try Freds not here, Auberge du Pommier, Sassafraz, luckee, lee ,sambucas on church at some point in your licious journey

Bon Appetit and let me know where you dine and what you got. I would love to hear . and inbox me if you need more recommendations like what to order from lunch/dinner menu for the best global experience :)
