I Am a Summerlicious 2013: Food Reviews

Today, I am Summerlicious 2013 review intro. Summerlicious is an event that lasts for 2-3 weeks during summer (of course) inToronto where top restaurants offers a set meal for lunch and/or dinner, price ranging from $15 to $45. If you're going during the summer, Toronto also offers a Winterlicious for the winter.

I was never a summerlicious/winterlicious person. Yes, the food sounds tempting, but travelling to downtown when I dont usually need to and reserving spots and paying that amount for food (usually I go for the $25 lunch and $45 dinner just because the restaurants I'll like to try offers those prices) was not so attractive. Nonetheless, I always get jealous of others going, and feeling so left out, I decided to go and try out some places.

I reserved places at three restaurants (and went to two already): 

Canoe - downtown Toronto, 66 Wellington St. W. 
Chop Steakhouse - near airport in Etobicoke, 801 Dixon Rd.
Fred's Not Here - downtown Toronto, 321 King St. W.

I've heard great reviews for Canoe, and because I had American Express, I was able to reserve a table asap (unfortunately our view was not the best since we werent close to the windows)

Chop I chose because my relatives from Ireland came, and I decided that steak would be the perfect choice. Seeing such great review for Chop on Urbanspoon and not being able to determine where I want to go eat, I decided to give Chop a try.

Fred's Not Here was chosen because during Winterlicious 2012, many of my friends went and the food there looks amazing, so I chose this place over Auberge du Pommier (another supposedly awesome place) just because I wanted steak (although after eating at Chop, I might prefer the smaller portions from Auberge).
