FOOD & DRINK
“People have made a 'gathering tradition' of Winterdine,” said Alan, “The same group of friends start in January to plan their Winterdine agenda. Because people choose where to go based on the menu of their choice rather than their favourite restaurant, they’ll try new restaurants which might become their new favourite.” This event provides an opportunity for chefs to shine - but, reservations are a must as most restaurants are fully booked for this event – book reservations for all three weekends in advance to ensure you are able to sample each restaurant's Winterdine menu. Each participating chef creates special menu items for the event, some include vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free options as well as wine parings.
“We don’t want them to present something from their regular menu at a Winterdine price, they must produce an exceptionally creative and delicious Winterdine menu to stand out in this crowd.” said Alan. Winterdine has become a winter-must in downtown Charlottetown. It's win-win for diners or restaurant owners, it's a toast to winter.
