Toronto now has a festival that's kind of like Summerlicious for Black-owned restaurants, with prix fixe deals across the city, and this year's edition is coming up soon.

ByBlacks Restaurant Week highlights Black-owned restaurants and cuisines like African, Caribbean and fusion food, with menus priced between $20 to $40 that are available not only for dine-in but also takeout and delivery.

The initiative was started in May 2021, and the event happens every spring in May and every fall in November, with this upcoming edition being the fourth.

"In Spring 2021 we had ten participating restaurants, and now it's grown to 47 restaurants in four provinces," ByBlacks publisher and co-founder Roger Dundas tells blogTO.

This year's edition runs from November 14 to 20, and 45 restaurants are participating. Here are some of the options:

Boukan

Their $25 prix fixe brunch will include spicy mango phyllo bites for an appetizer, a Caesar jerk chicken sandwich and Jamaican rum cheesecake bites, and their $30 dinner will include Haitian dumplings, beef or chicken with rice and peas and pickliz, and banana beignets with mango sauce.
