During the summer, Toronto truly shines with an impressive lineup of festivals, including street, theater, music, and culinary events. This past weekend perfectly highlighted the city's diverse offerings, and we dove into the action by exploring the Summerlicious restaurant festival on Saturday night.
My friend, culinary enthusiast Shauna, meticulously researched menus and recommended we visit the Wildfire Steakhouse and Wine Bar on Yonge Street, just north of Lawrence.
As the evening unfolded, we ventured out to savor Toronto's culinary scene. Several blocks of Yonge Street were closed for the Celebrate Toronto Street Festival. As the day wound down, we arrived at the Wildfire Steakhouse and Wine Bar, which surprised us with its spacious interior beyond a modest exterior. The sophisticated decor and menu, featuring seafood, pasta, and grilled dishes, set the stage for a delightful experience.
Now in its third year, the Summerlicious Restaurant Festival features 130 participating restaurants, offering special prix fixe lunch and dinner menus. Lunch options are priced at C$15 or C$20, while dinner menus, including appetizers, main courses, and desserts, are available at C$25 or C$35.
The $35 dinner menu at Wildfire Steakhouse and Wine Bar included:
Appetizers:
- Wild Mushroom Soup, a blend of Porcini, Portobello, and Field mushrooms, finished with a truffle oil reduction.
- Classic Shrimp Martini, featuring Thai tiger shrimp with a zesty vodka citrus cocktail sauce.
- Summer Fresh Organic Greens, dressed with poppy seed dressing and served with roasted red peppers, mandarin oranges, and shaved asiago cheese.
- Grilled Calamari, paired with warm tomato salsa, capers, black olives, and red onions.
Entrees:
- Piri Piri Half Chicken Churrasco, with grilled seasonal vegetables and roasted garlic mashed potatoes.
- Maple Glazed Salmon Fillet, grilled with Canadian maple, served with wasabi-infused mashed potatoes and vegetables.
- Wildfire Baby Back Ribs, basted in homemade barbecue sauce, served with fresh cut fries.
- Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni, topped with roma tomato and basil sauce, sprinkled with fresh Grano Padano cheese.
Desserts:
- Sinful Angels Chocolate Torte, made with Belgian chocolate, finished with crême anglaise and a tri-color coulis.
- Strawberry Almond Daquiose, a lightly baked meringue with coconut and toasted almond, layered with homemade strawberry ice cream, finished with crême anglaise.
My friends chose the ribs, and my husband opted for the pasta, both delighted with their choices. I, however, ventured off the Summerlicious menu to try the Escargots Provençal from the regular menu. As an appetizer lover, I also savored the wild mushroom soup and organic green salad. My meal concluded with an apple tartlet accompanied by Earl Grey ice cream, an intriguing yet satisfying flavor. My companions confirmed the Summerlicious Chocolate Torte was a decadently rich experience.
As our lively conversation continued, we realized we were among the last patrons at the restaurant by 11:30 pm. We eventually stepped out into the warm Toronto night. Summerlicious was a resounding success for us, and with the festival running until July 23, 2006, there's ample opportunity to explore more of Toronto's culinary delights.
