Toronto’s culinary scene continues to shine in 2025, and we can’t wait to celebrate the makers and shakers at the foodism ICON Awards this fall.
On November 25, at the Imperial Room at Fairmont Royal York, we're hosting our second annual award ceremony, where we'll be recognizing 10 of the most innovative and impactful individuals in the local hospitality industry.
We’re giving away tickets to a few lucky foodism readers so you and a plus one can join us as we toast the 2025 ICONs live.

We’ll get dressed up and enjoy a night unlike any other as we eat, imbibe and mingle with the city’s biggest players in the local food scene. And because it’s foodism, you know the bites and sips will be anything but ordinary. The Fairmont’s own culinary team will be circulating with elegant canapés, while San Pellegrino keeps the sparkle flowing between bites.
Expect a welcome glass of Perrier-Jouët Champagne to kick off the night in style, before heading to Ramsbury’s cocktail station for expertly mixed serves made with their award-winning sustainable gin. Meanwhile, whisky aficionados can take a deep dive into the spirit with Highland Park.
