For seven delicious days from Monday, May 11 to Sunday, May 17, 2026 participating businesses across Canada will offer either a Prix Fixe menu or a $10 special (discounted by up to 25%) to give food lovers an incredible opportunity to explore and support Black culinary excellence.

This year, Eastern Canada shines with four Black-owned gems participating; one in Prince Edward Island and three in Nova Scotia.
