If there’s one thing that makes a cold winter day more bearable, it’s the respite that a warm meal and beverage can bring. Whether you’re planning to visit a local bakery to start off your day, finally heading to that must-visit restaurant on your list or attending one of the many winter festivals across the country, trust you'll be getting a true taste of place as you become fully immersed into the winter culture of your chosen destination.
If you’re like us, you love a good outdoor activity, but its the comfort of the warm meal you get to experience afterwards that likely holds the biggest appeal (and perhaps even motivation!) as you work your way through that snowy hike, lengthy skating trail or icy trek through a downtown core.
Canada knows how to winter and the multitude of experiences and activities that span the nation are a testament to the enthusiasm that Canadians bring to this season. The four cities we’re highlighting below know what it takes to craft food and winter experiences you won't soon be forgetting.
We already know this destination is a no-brainer when it comes to living your best winter life. As a winter festival capital, there is always something fun to celebrate. From LUMINO to Igloofest, there is truly a good time to be had for everyone.
In a city known for its world-class restaurants, there won’t be a shortage of options for you to take a seat at a cozy table (or bar!) and dive into gastronomic heaven.

You know how they say that the only way out is through? Well, the fun and games don’t stop as the season nears its end with Sugar Shacks opening up across the region. If you don’t want to leave the city, head to Cabane Panache in Verdun where Promenade Wellington is transformed into outdoor sugar shack experience with musical performances, traditional activities and delectable maple dishes created by local chefs.
