2025 marks the fifth year of Kingstonlicious, a culinary festival that includes special restaurant menus, signature events, and overnight packages.
Starting February 3, restaurants across Kingston are offering prix fixe menus at a variety of price points, from under $25 to $75. From comfort food and local beer to haute cuisine, local ingredients are showcased on Kingstonlicious menus. In addition, seven vendors at the Memorial Centre Farmers’ Market will offer Kingstonlicious specials on specific products every Sunday.
To whet your appetite, here’s a sample from the almost 40 new Kingstonlicious menus offered for February.
The Everly Restaurant & Lounge
171 Wellington St
Downtown, The Everly Restaurant & Lounge offers a three-course meal for $40. It features a kale salad (with local kale from Salt of the Earth Farms), an entrée of cheese tortellini with Bolognese sauce, and a vanilla panna cotta for dessert. The Everly is Kingston’s newest Feast On® certified restaurant, signifying its commitment to using Ontario food and beverage products.
Burger 347
1347 Gardiners Rd
Burger 347, one of the city’s newest west-end restaurants, offers a “burger & a bevy” meal for $25. Choose from one of their eight signature burgers, including a black bean burger with plant-based jalepeño mayo and a decadent “poutine extreme” burger topped with St. Albert curds. Add a salad or fries, and choose a beer, glass of wine, or a mocktail for your “bevy.”
Daft Brewing

In mid-town, Daft Brewing offers two pizzas and a beer for $40 (with dine-in and takeout options). Daft’s signature pizzas include the Slytherin Bite (red sauce, mozzarella, hot calabrese, candied jalapeño, hot honey, and parm) and the Daftly Dill-icious (garlic butter, dill sauce, dill pickle, mozzarella, parm, and dill weed).
