For even the most amateur foodie, there’s nothing better than taking a stroll through a neighbourhood and tasting all the restaurants have to offer. That’s the idea behind YXEats. The festival has only been around for a few years but it’s quickly become the trendiest food tour in the city. Restaurants throughout the Riversdale neighbourhood have customized a menu between $10 and $25 for the public to swing by and sample.
