Restaurants in East York

“Good quality flavourful and authentic home-style food. Friendly and knowledgeable host was happy to answer our questions about Mediterranean dishes and culture. Great experience overall.”

“Food is definitely the best quality out of the Swiss Chalet locations I’ve tried in Toronto. Service is great. Our server Nick was super attentive and had a great attitude.”

“exceptional tastes! they have unique offerings compared to other sushi restaurants in the neighborhood.”

“Pretty good happy hour $5 off apps. Terrible for parking.

Got the edamame, pierogies and shrimp dumplings. All were good choices.

Don’t bother to park at the actual restaurant parking. park across the street in the plaza.

Looks really spacious inside and good for watching games.”

“Amazing food and cozy ambiance! The sushi was fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented. Our server was extremely kind and sweet - overall service is top-notch. Definitely coming back!”

“This really feels like one of the few authentic fish and chips spots in Toronto. The freshly fried fish was absolutely top-notch — super crispy and full of flavor. I ordered mine with a salad instead of fries, and personally, I found it much lighter and even more enjoyable that way. The crispiness was seriously next level!”

“I went for a quick meal in mid-afternoon. I had the lamb and chicken combo which came with a side of green salad and rice. I chose not to have the rice. To my surprise I was I was charged less than what the price stated on the menu. The chicken and the lamb were both tender and spiced just right. I was very impressed by the quality of the food - fresh, clean and very tasty. For a quick and inexpensive meal, I highly recommend Afghan Cuisine on Overlea Blvd.”

“This was the best Greek food I've had in a very long time. Real Greek homecooking. Absolutely juicy and delicious. Thank you! Looking forward to coming back very soon.”

“1st Time Eating There, Great 1st Impression. Clean, Friendly Attentive Staff. Many Good Looking Burgers, Smash Style or Regular
Gonna try Wagu Burger next time. SLAYED My Hunger”

“Had a wonderful time hosting our end of year social! The manager, Tom, was a dream to work with for our large group. Great menu items - loved the calamari, french fries, sweet potato fries, garlic bread, spinach dip and wings. Teegan was an attentive and friendly bartender.”

“lovely atmosphere. food was amazing!! The chef did a wonderful job. Joey, our host was attentive and made us feel welcome. I would highly recommend this restaurant.”

“The food is always amazing, service is always impeccable and they always have top notch entertainment. If you want to try great Macedonian food and Balkan food in general and you live in Toronto, this is the place to visit.”

“I tried catering menu for a surprise party where the birthday girl is a greek native. I was offering a smart healthy menu advice, reasonably priced and delivered impeccably. Fresh, properly packed and extremely delicious. Unbeatable ❤️❤️🥰”

“This cozy italian restaurant is absolutely amazing. Fresh pasta and sauce made daily, the service was phenomenal (they gave us drinks and bread for free bro, 10/10), they have fresh take-home option and catering (need at min 24 hours notice). They even have dino pasta for the kids (or kids at heart). I am definitely going to be coming back here in the future.”

“delicious food and super friendly staff.”

“very tasty food and owner of missisauga location is such a humble personality. best service.”

“Great food. Great service. Definitely will return to try other dishes. Spicy 😥”

“I would give 5 stars to the staff—they were very friendly and attentive, which made for a welcoming experience.

The ambience was convenient and cozy, making it a comfortable spot to grab a bite after grocery shopping.

Unfortunately, the food didn’t meet expectations. We ordered the Swiss burgers, which were dry and lacked quality in both taste and ingredients.”

“Amazing quality of food and love the indoor vibes”

“Ordered food from this place to be delivered for a small special occasion and honestly, the food was pretty good. Got my food in record time and everything was nice and hot.

It was through UberEats and they had some deals. Got 2 orders of wings, chicken fried rice and coke cans each, plus an order of shanghai noodles. The flavours of the wings and fried rice were great, nicely seasoned.
Shanghai noodles were good too, flavour just was slightly different compared to other shanghai noodle dishes in other Chinese places so I wasn't into it personally. Doesn't have that dark soy sauce colour.

The whole process to get my food was 20 minutes, including the actual delivery time, which kind of scared me.

And honestly was scared to order here at first given the past reviews, but I wouldn't shy away from ordering here again. Everything I ordered was overall delicious.”

“Absolutely delicious food, wonderful staff too. Highly recommend!”

“best fruit cocktail drink 🍹👍”

“Totally unexpected but glad to have found this gem! I think I found my go-to anytime I am craving for a smash burger! I haven't found anything remotely close especially where I live in Scarborough.”

“I was eating across the street when I looked out the window and noticed Yaya’s. I looked at my parents who I was sitting with and being Greek said would you guys want loukoumades? I went as they were closing and they literally went in the back, made fresh dough and started making me my order. When I tell you these loukoumades are the real deal they are the real deal. The best loukoumades in the city. The owner was super friendly and I wish them all the best. Will definitely be back!”

“A bit spicy for me but very good nonetheless!!!
Highly recommend the chicken chow mien and the butter chicken momos!!!
Staff is very kind and gave us good food recommendations!!!”

“absolutely love this place 😍 every single thing I order I love more than the last ,from the in house sauce to the perfect chicken sandwiches you can not go wrong with this wonderful restaurant it's not just the food either , the staff is amazing, friendly and accurately fills orders quickly I look forward to take out night because this is our go to”

“Great service always. Variety of desserts. Good quality. Lots of products. Great custom birthday cakes”

“Was craving an acai bowl liek the ones you get in Cali after surfing. TBH, kinda dissapointed. Granted, that I did get a custom one, but it was simliar to the ingredients I would get from Cali.

Basically, it was more sour and berry-like, than tasting like ACAI, less treat-like and more like a sorbet.”

“- Delicious salmon sashimi and torched salmon sushi
- Friendly staff and quick service
- The place is nice and clean
- Reasonable prices”

“Very delicious cakes. Not too sweet, fresh whipped creams, fresh fruits 🤤 We loved a croissant sandwich, baguette 🥖 and loaf bread 🍞 too”

“Best coffee!! My mom and I visited Arto Cafe. It's beautifully designed. Classy and elegant. The hospitality is outstanding. After, we went to Arto Bakery where it is always such a pleasant experience!! And the best part .....it's so close to home!! Thank you Arto Cafe / Bakery 👏”

“Let me tell you….i am very very picky about my curry chicken roti and Island Spice Flava restaurant has the most delicious flavorful roti. They also don’t skimp and use potatoes as filler….there is literally chicken in every bite! I’ve been here like 5 or 6 times and it has been consistent and delicious. Also the staff is so friendly and love the no nonsense atmosphere. Always a stop for me when I’m visiting Toronto.”

“no words for food quality but the treatment was excellent you dont see this in many places”

“If you’re looking for a delicious and affordable summer treat, you have to try their barf gola for less than $5. This unique ice dish is fully loaded with dry fruits, making each bite a delightful experience.We also explored their menu and were thoroughly impressed. Here’s what we tried:Butter Paneer Pizza: This pizza was outstanding. The precooked toppings, including the butter paneer, blended perfectly to create a mind-blowing taste. Each bite was rich and flavorful.Chicken Wings: These wings were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The seasoning was spot-on, making them an irresistible treat.Crispy Chicken Burger: OMG, this burger was delicious! The crispy chicken patty was perfectly cooked, and the combination of fresh toppings and sauce made it an unforgettable experience.Tandoori Chicken Pizza: To finish, we had the Tandoori Chicken Pizza. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the pizza dough was soft and cooked to perfection. The spices and toppings melded beautifully, making it an extraordinary dish.If you're craving delicious food this summer, this spot is a must-visit. From refreshing barf gola to mouthwatering pizzas and burgers, they have it all. Check out this place and enjoy satisfying all your summer cravings in one spot!”

“Food is fresh and delivered quickly and still hot.”

“Perfection! I ordered a birthday cake for my 9-year old who’s obsessed with Harry Potter. I gave them a picture of the exact cake from the first movie, which is what my daughter wanted - intentionally mispelled words and all. It was perfect and exactly what we asked for. AND it was a delicious strawberry-white chocolate cake on the inside. SO good! Would definitely re-order from here.”

“Absolutely best experience at Donlands Dinner. Came back twice during our 5 day stay in Toronto and will be back again next time we visit. The food was amazing and the service and atmosphere were top notch. We would highly recommend this place!!!”

“We have tried various dessert items from Charmaine Sweets over the last few years. We enjoyed all the treats we have picked up to try: the tarts, mini pies, mini cakes, and cookies. We usually pick up and eat them at home so we can't review the dine in environment. They usually have a line up on Saturdays because the baked goods are really delicious. Highly recommend this cute little neighborhood bakery!”

“loved the cheese and spinach pitas everything is super fresh. Flavoured coffees are also great.”

“Great latte !! 👍😊☕️ practicing social distance :)”

“The best SHAWARMA EVER keep up the good work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻many thanks 🌺”

“The cutest little spot, reminds me of toronto in the 80s and 90s. The food is alright and the service is perfect. Thank you for making my day and filling my stomach.”

“Breakfast is amazing and just the right portion. Love the old diner feel the place has. Must go and check it out. They typically close at 4pm and closed on Mondays.”

“Subway consistently delivers fresh, customizable meals that cater to a variety of tastes and dietary preferences. I appreciate the ability to choose from a wide selection of breads, proteins, vegetables, and sauces, making each sandwich unique and satisfying.”

“Love this spot. We have ordered different pho, spring rolls, red and green curry, pineapple chicken, spicy basil chicken, pad Thai… I must be forgetting some. Tonight we ordered delivery and when on the phone she said they have a special. Chicken balls. BEST CHICKEN BALLS EVER. Just say yes to the specials. Also say yes to everything else. The food here makes me happy.

If you’re a vegetarian- the lemongrass broth is heaven.”

“I’ve been living in the area for over 2 years and never tried their fried chicken until yesterday. I ordered their “Everyday Special “- A large breast, a drumstick, fries and a fountain drink for the price of…wait for it…$6.19. You can get regular or spicy too. Took it home and the chicken was exactly the way I like it, crispy and cooked just right. How can you lose at that price.”

“We had a large party to celebrate our daughter’s engagement to her fiancé last weekend with well over 80 people to feed. The food from Skara was on time, hot and delicious! Our guests kept asking us where the delicious gyros was from. Skara! I would highly recommend Skara for your catering needs. I will definitely continue to use them. #bestgyros #skaracatering #catering #partyfood”

“I ordered a part for my Bunn coffee machine on monday night. Wednesday morning it was at my door. I contacted customer service by email and got an answer within minutes. Amazing service. Thank you”

“Stuff you are very professional they explained to me that there is Halal option. Made me and my family very comfortable eating here. I have to say their pizza was very delicious and stuff was very friendly.”

“Love this bakery, delicatessent and European import products store! Sandwiches, Frozen Home Made selections, bottled and can beverages, kitchen ware galore! Slavenka is so nice and knowledgeable about her awesome store items, she’s happy to chat! …Check it out!”

“Not only the most authentic and delicious Italian food in Toronto, but also the best service too!”

“China Food in Leaside is a hidden gem for classic Chinese takeout. The portions are generous, the flavors are spot on, and everything is always hot and fresh. Favorites like General Tao chicken, fried rice, and spring rolls never disappoint. Great value for the price, friendly service, and perfect for a cozy night in or quick pickup. Definitely a go-to for satisfying, delicious meals”

“Super friendly and helpful. I always seem to find a new discovery each time I visit and a treasure trove of great and unique gift ideas. Not to mention the yummy ice cream and gelato…and coffee…and snacks…did I mention the yummy treats? ;)”

“Very good fish and chips at a reasonable price. The haddock I had was cooked to perfection. Perfect amount of batter and it was cooked to a perfect crispiness. Highly recommended”

“Insanely good value for money with its fast food prices at slightly better quality food.

Got the combo deal of two pieces of fried chicken, one pizza slice (you can choose any you want, not just the basic cheese or pepperoni), and one pop for less than what combos cost at fast food spots. The chicken was pretty good with its crackling skin and juicy meat. The pizza could have used a bit more zing in its taste but had a nice chewy crust.

Space is clean and has some tables for dine-in. Menu is pretty extensive. Owner is nice. This is definitely a good spot that your wallet will love.”

“Stepping into Sophie's isn't just about watching a game or having a bite to eat, it's like coming home. The moment you're greeted by owners George and Sophie, you feel an instant warmth that's rare to find. They don't just run a business — they're the heart of the place, always taking the time to chat and make sure everyone feels like a regular. What truly sets Sophie's apart is their deep commitment to the community. Whether they're hosting a fundraiser or sponsoring a sports event, George and Sophie consistently show up and give back. They're also unwavering LGBTQ+ allies, creating a safe and inclusive space for everyone. It's clear they care about more than just their bottom line, they care about the people and the neighbourhood they serve. Sophie's is more than a sports bar, it's a true community hub, and we're lucky to have it.”

“The best Sushi in my life.🥹
Perfect taste and freshness! The quality is far beyond what you would expect from a sushi place inside a hospital food court. On top of that, the service is very friendly. A place like this truly deserves to be more well known.”

“Just wanted a quick breakfast with my best friend so we decided to try this place for the first time. The price is decent and you get a decent generous amount of food with it, can't complain at all about that! Decor and atmosphere feels dated in a good way, the place is well kept and clean, Nice service as well. Thank you!”

“This super sweet corner chocolatier is really really good! I've gotten a pack of their chocolates for a bride-to-be and she loved them.

If you're a chocoholic like me, I highly recommend the dark chocolate vegan gelato and the Nutella. It's a really good combination, but quite honestly I have yet to have a bad flavour from there! Toasted marshmallow and rocky road are great options too.

They're a bit pricey and there's very little seating to enjoy your ice cream/gelato, but it's worth it I promise.”

“A Decadent Taste of Greece at Macchiato

Had lunch at my favorite Greek Gyro spot Tzatziki on Mt.Pleasant today for lunch. Was in the mood for dessert, and the staff told me about their sister location in Pape Village, a 24 hour Coffee and Dessert spot with homemade decadent pasties and desserts.

I love the food at Tzatziki so made my way to Macciato Espresso Bar to enjoy a desert on their outdoor patio.

From the moment the plate arrived the aroma of warm custard, buttery pastry, and a hint of cinnamon was irresistible. I gently cut into the bougatsa, the phyllo giving way with a delicate crackle, scattering golden flakes like confetti on the plate.

The first bite was pure comfort and elegance. The crisp, buttery layers melted into a velvety custard—warm, smooth, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. The dusting of cinnamon and powdered sugar added a gentle spice and light sweetness that made each bite feel complete.

The textures played in perfect harmony—the satisfying crunch of the pastry followed by the soft, creamy center. As I lingered over each mouthful, the buttery and spiced notes stayed with me, making it impossible not to close my eyes for a moment and just enjoy.

Paired with a Ice Cold Freddo Cappuccino coffee, it was the kind of treat that turns an ordinary lunch into a memorable one.

Found my new favorite dessert spot and will be coming back for more!”

“This Tim Hortons shop doesn’t disappoint in terms of their fast pace service without affecting the standard and quality of their products. I love how you can depend on them to get your day started and getting through your day effectively because they were able to serve you your morning coffee and favorite breakfast muffin in an efficient time possible. All the team members seem to have been trained to provide excellent customer service and experience.”

“Church’s Chicken Canada - 3003 Danforth Avenue”

“My card didn't work. But the owner was nice enough to offer me a free slice. After being robbed several times in the past year, I appreciate a store that helped with a smile. Free wifi too.”

“What a gem! Bravo to the people who work there! I have ate a whole pizza to myself now 2 days in a row 🙃 I had the cowspiracy, the tour de france, and I shared the Dino bones pizza lol I love different things. I also love quality good deals.

Thank you, Praveen, for making my mornings brighter!”

“Yesterday, we tried the lasagna, and the sauce was exceptional. We also had the pizza, which my toddler couldn't stop eating. Most importantly, the warm service made our experience enjoyable. It didn't matter if we waited two seconds or two minutes, they ensured we had a pleasant time while waiting for our order. We are definitely planning to come back!”

“We ordered food for our son’s birthday for 60 people, and it was absolutely fantastic! The food was delicious, of great quality, and there was plenty of it—all at a very affordable price. Everyone at the party was impressed with how tasty everything was. I worked with Gopi for the menu planning, and he was incredibly helpful, suggesting a variety of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. The customer service and support were excellent throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!”

“Great place. Fried rice is tasty. I wish the place was not so far from my home. I would have come often. They should change the sign on the door though. It's written "PUSH" on the outside when you have to pull it open. The last thing we want is people thinking the place is closed.”

“This is an amazing Eurooean style Bakery, cafe, deli, and grocery store that will always have you coming back for more. Bougatsa, Spanakopita and a coffee. Mmmmmm....”

“I always order pizza from Watan Grill Pizza, and they never disappoint! Their service is fast and efficient, making every order a pleasant experience. I recently tried their Tandoori Pizza, and it was absolutely delicious—bursting with unique flavors that set it apart from other places. The quality of the pizza is consistently top-notch, with fresh ingredients that make all the difference. I’m truly impressed with the taste and overall dining experience. Thank you, Watan Grill Pizza, for offering such amazing food and excellent service. Highly recommended!”
