Summerlicious '13 marks the genesis of this blog, at least in the form that it is in now. One year ago, I hurriedly made reservations at 34 restaurants, filling each lunch and dinner with a 3-course prix-fixe. Since then, restaurants have fallen off (Colborne Lane, notably) and tasty new participants have risen - most importantly, Splendido.
This year, the plans won't be as grand. It will be a surgical attempt to tie up the loose-ends and revisit the winners. Of the 5 five-stars last year, only three remain: Auberge du Pommier ★★★★★, Chiado ★★★★★, and Aria ★★★★★ - these definitely deserve your attention. A few new entrants at established locations are fomenting excitement: Café Boulud (★★★★), ONE ★★★★, Origin ★★★★.
Other names that popped on my perusal include:
Bosk (Menu) 25/45
Didier (Menu) 25/45
Lee Restaurant (Menu) /45
Noce /35
Nota Bene (Menu) 25/45
Nyood Restaurant (Menu) /35
Ocho Hotel (Menu) 15/25
And finally, a lunch at the poster-child of summerlicious, Canoe ★★★★, will be well worth it.
Below is a list of all randwalk-rated restaurants participating in summerlicious.
