Toronto Summerlicious | Hidden Gem ALDER 💎

The hottest summer food festival is back—Summerlicious 2024 is here! 🎉 I immediately rushed to ALDER, a restaurant I've had bookmarked forever inside the trendy Ace Hotel Toronto. The vibe? Absolutely impeccable! ✨ This year's Summerlicious menu is $75 per person (appetizer, main, dessert)—which feels like a steal considering their regular prices! After trying it, I can confirm: 100% worth it. 🤑 🍹 Strawberry Fields Cocktail Pretty in pink... but maybe skip it? 🍓 While photogenic, this $18 drink was overly sweet—save your money for more food! Appetizers 🐟 Hamachi Crudo Refreshing and bright with spicy chili slices that wake up your palate. So good, you'll nod in approval with every bite. 👌 🦆 Foie Gras Parfait SILKY. RICH. PERFECTION. Spread on crusty sourdough, this sweet-savory masterpiece is worth every calorie. One of the best dishes of the night! 🏆 Mains 🥩 Grilled Short Rib THE STAR OF THE SHOW! 🔥 Melt-in-your-mouth tender, perfectly grilled with rich marbling. Two generous portions—no "still hungry" complaints here! Desserts 🍰 Basque Cheesecake MY SUMMER 2024 OBSESSION. 🤤 Creamy, decadent, balanced—paired with cherry compote, I could devour this whole thing alone. Best cheesecake I've had this year, hands down. 🍨 Caramel Coppetta Misleading name alert! More like "Dark Chocolate Overload." 🍫 My chocoholic friend adored it, but if you're craving caramelized bananas, temper expectations. Verdict: For $75, this is unbeatable quality. Stellar ambiance, flawless service—if you want a luxe date spot for Summerlicious, ALDER is IT. 💯 📍 ALDER (Inside Ace Hotel Toronto) 💰 $75 Summerlicious Menu #Summerlicious #TorontoFoodie #TorontoRestaurants #ALDER #DowntownToronto #DateNightTO #VibeDining #FoodieLife #TorontoLife #CanadaEats
