A happy winter consolation is the prix-fixe lunch and dinner promotion known as Winterlicious. It’s underway with participating restaurants across town taking reservations today (Thursday, January 16, 2014) for this affordable way of dining out. City-wide, more than 200 restaurants are participating and on South Bayview Verdi, at 1566 Bayview Ave. will participate for the first time. The excellent interactive map shows Verdi will offer lunch for $15 and dinner for $25. Others in South Bayivew who are part of the Winterlicious program are Kamasutra at 1522 Bayview and Amaya at 1701 Bayview. On Mt Pleasant the handy map shows Cafe Pleiade at 557 and Celestini at 623. The Granite Brewery at 245 Eglinton Ave. E. is also in. Let us know if we have overlooked anybody. The three-course prix-fixe lunch menus are priced at $15, $20 and $25, while the dinner menus are priced at $25, $35 and $45. Note: the map may take about 15 seconds to load but it’s worth waiting for.
