Black-owned restaurants in Canada are taking centre stage this week as ByBlacks Restaurant Week (BRW) officially kicks off.

The week-long event will showcase African, Caribbean and fusion cuisines from more than 40 restaurants across the GTA and elsewhere in Canada.

Underway from Nov. 14 to 20, 2022, diners can enjoy a special prix-fixe menu in-person or order takeout or delivery — similar to Toronto’s Summerlicious.

It is the fourth edition of BRW, which started in May 2021. The event is usually held bi-annually in May and November.

“In Spring 2021, we had ten participating restaurants, and now it’s grown to 47 restaurants in four provinces,” ByBlacks publisher and co-founder Roger Dundas told blogTO in an interview.

Check out some of the participating restaurants below:
