Taste Canada Awards Soiree

About this event

The 2026 Taste Canada Awards Soirée returns to Toronto on Sunday, October 25, bringing Canada’s culinary community together at the Fairmont Royal York for an unforgettable celebration. ( @fairmontroyalyork )⁠ ⁠ As Canada’s only national, bilingual cookbook awards, the evening will honour the very best in culinary writing as we reveal this year’s Gold and Silver winners across the English- and French-language categories. ⁠ ⁠ And that’s just the beginning! We will also crown the winners of the 2026 Taste Canada Cooks the Books presented by Canada Beef and induct two culinary icons into the Taste Canada Hall of Fame, presented by the Culinary Historians of Canada. ( @lovecdnbeef @culhistcanada )⁠ ⁠ The celebrations will continue at the extraordinary Chefs' Celebration Reception, where some of Canada’s top culinary talent will treat guests to food stations that highlight seasonal ingredients and the vibrant, innovative and tradition-rich spirit of Canadian cuisine. ⁠ ⁠ Join us for an evening dedicated to the people, stories and flavours that make Canadian culinary culture so remarkable.⁠
