Taste of Burlington is Officially On 

January 26, 2026

Two weeks of prix-fixe dining returns January 26 – February 8 

Taste of Burlington is officially underway. Burlington’s signature winter dining event returns today, inviting locals and visitors to experience the city’s vibrant culinary scene through two weeks of curated prix-fixe menus, running January 26 to February 8, 2026. 

First launched in 2008, Taste of Burlington has grown from a small winter dining initiative into one of the city’s most anticipated annual culinary events. Now celebrating 18 years in 2026, the program continues to evolve while staying rooted in its original purpose: showcasing Burlington’s talented chefs, supporting local restaurants during the winter season, and inviting the community to come together around great food. 

New this year is the Burlington Taste Trail, a free, interactive digital experience that adds a fun layer of exploration to the program. Diners can sign up online, check in as they visit participating restaurants, and unlock an entry into the Burlington Taste Trail Grand Prize Giveaway after checking in at three or more locations. The prize package includes an overnight stay at the Burlington Waterfront Hotel, dinner for two at DiMario’s Trattoria, and tickets to a show of the winner’s choice at the Burlington Performing Arts Centre. 

“Taste of Burlington is all about bringing people together around great food while supporting our local restaurant community during the winter season,” said Claire Green, Director of Destination Development and Marketing at Burlington Economic Development and Tourism. “With the program now live, it’s the perfect time to explore new restaurants, revisit favourites, and experience the incredible culinary talent we have right here in Burlington.” 

Diners can browse participating restaurants, explore menus, and sign up for the Burlington Taste Trail at tasteofburlington.ca.
