Next to it are the words A Taste for Life.Since 2001, the “A Taste for Life” (ATFL) annual event have raised more than $1.5 million for Fife House’s programs and services in support of people and families living with HIV/AIDS. Fife House is enormously grateful and very appreciative to all of our restaurant partners, sponsors, volunteers, and supporters who have supported this wonderful initiative over the years.

The concept is simple: Restaurant establishments in Toronto partner with Fife House to host A Taste For Life, and in so doing, commit to donating a portion of their sales for the event to Fife House. Friends and supporters of Fife House are encouraged to make reservations and/or drop in for a delicious meal during A Taste of Life at any of the participating partner restaurants. In addition, diners are also encouraged to make individual donations to Fife House as well.

The event began in 1999 as a joint fundraising initiative between Bruce House and the Snowy Owl AIDS Foundation in Ottawa, and has since grown to include other organizations across Canada. In Toronto, A Taste For Life is organized by Fife House, in partnership with various restaurant partners, and all funds raised locally goes towards Fife House.

A TASTE FOR LIFE 2023

Wednesday, May 17, 2023

A Taste for Life was last held in-person in 2019. 35 restaurant partners  and hundreds of diners helped raised more than $100,000 for Fife House. The outbreak of the COVID19 in 2020 pandemic meant that the event had to go on hiatus, and we are saddened that many of our restaurant partners in Toronto have closed their doors permanently due to the pandemic. As pandemic restrictions were eased, we are grateful to partners like Maison Selby which hosted a Drag Brunch in support of Fife House in 2022!

Fife House is pleased to announce the return of the in-person ‘A Taste for Life’ event, to be held in Toronto on Wednesday, May 17, 2023.

The following is the list of participating restaurants that will be partnering with Fife House to hold the ‘A Taste for Life’ event on May 17th. Please save the date and make plans to have a meal and/or drinks with your friends and family at one of these restaurants! Fife House thanks you for your generosity and support!
