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.”

“Top marks! Great food, service and atmosphere. Love the upstairs dining with the open roof. Parking is minimal so you will probably need to find street parking or mall parking across the street. Looking forward to my next visit!”

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

“A really great place to go for a filling meal. Service is top notch, the place is clean, plated portion size is crazy and the food tastes good. Only thing is that it's a little hideaway place, so you really have to know the area”

“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.”

“We recently visited Atto Sushi and were honestly blown away. Since the new owner took over, the quality of the food and service has become absolutely exceptional. Every single dish we ordered was prepared perfectly and tasted incredibly fresh and delicious.
Not only is the sushi outstanding, but all of the other menu items are amazing as well. You can really feel the passion and care that goes into every plate. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff are friendly, and the overall dining experience was flawless from start to finish.
Atto Sushi has truly become one of the best restaurants in the Danforth area, and in my opinion, one of the best sushi spots in Toronto. Highly recommended! we will definitely keep coming back!”

“Love this place, best sushi I’ve had in the city so far. Always good quality.

I recommend the Salmon aburi, sweet potato maki roll, and crispy beef gyoza. I tried the Basil ebi oshi and it was good but I think the salmon aburi is better.”

“We recently visited The Olde Yorke and had a solid, classic fish and chips experience. The space has a cozy, traditional pub feel with a straightforward, no-frills atmosphere and very generous portions.

The fish and chips are clearly the highlight. The batter was golden and crisp, and the portion size is substantial. We chose the halibut, which is naturally more dense, so if you prefer a lighter, flakier texture, the cod would likely be the better option.

We also tried the clam chowder, which leaned slightly too fishy for our preference. The coleslaw was decent, but fairly simple and could have used a bit more flavour to stand out.

While not everything fully impressed, the overall meal still delivers on a traditional, comforting fish and chips experience.

Service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming throughout.

Overall, it’s a reliable spot for classic fish and chips, especially if you’re looking for generous portions and a traditional approach.”

“One the best South Indian food. I tried butter chicken, chicken curry, fried rice, chicken saag and many more.. they are really tasty.. Recommend by Elder brother KisanC”

“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.”

“It's been 2nd time I tried there food.Really nice kabab it feels like authentic afgani kabab.The staffs are really nice mainly Farzana she has always greeting or serve with smile.It was really a nuce experience with her!!!”

“Went here for dinner after walking through the Don River trails. We were seated immediately outside on the patio. The service was great and the food came super fast! Everything we got was delicious - bread basket, falafel, salad, chicken souvlaki, potatoes, rice, etc. and all for a very reasonable price. I will definitely be back.”

“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. This was it! One of the best things I have ever had and I almost feel you all have up my flavor pallette 👌💯🙌”

“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.”

“Came on a Thursday afternoon and although it was empty it was very good! As a Japanese it felt authentic and I loved the music choice, never change the music please!

I appreciated that the salmon roll wasn’t filled with tempura bits like other places, which I don’t really like about western sushi! Will be back”

“Great quality. Easy online purchase and timely delivery. Highly appreciated!”

“Worst wings I have ever had. Old and dry my guess they were leftovers from Superbowl Sunday and I was there on Tuesday.”

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

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

“The best bar you haven't been to yet. An amazing owner with amazing food. I always make a point to visit there at least once a month for the ridiculous chicken wings.”

“Service is very pleasant, Jim was a big help from helping me decide what to get to pay out. I commend the patience and hospitality of the service crew working here. Would visit again!”

“Amazing quality of food and love the indoor vibes”

“I stumbled upon this and decided to go in. First, they have parking right at the restaurant, which is a nice perk. Second, the atmosphere and decor of the restaurant was tastefully done. Typically pho restaurants are minimalist at best. Third, the staff member greeted me politely and was very attentive while I was there.

When I received my food it was presented beautifully. Again, I was not expecting this kind of presentation at a pho restaurant. The most important part, is the food tasted great and the portion size was quite large. I would definitely go back.”

“best fruit cocktail drink 🍹👍”

“food arrived hot, i asked for a few accommodations like no vegetables and sauce on the side because im picky, and they fulfilled them easily. super cheap but still massive portions. the food was a little bland but thats 100% on me since i asked to remove the things that make them taste good like the veggies and the sauce. yummy!”

“Awesome patties, could've easily done the double. Good fries and onion rings, limited ice cream too. Very reasonably priced.”

“We love this cafe! The staff are always friendly, the loukoumades are made fresh and are delicious, and the other food/ treats are great too. A wonderful neighbourhood staple :)”

“Highly recommended! It was so good we forgot to take pictures and just started eating. The chowmein tastes exactly like authentic chowmein from Nepal—never found this taste anywhere else. I don't normally leave reviews, but this was fabulous. Hats off, keep it up!”

“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”

“I ordered.Tunacado ,Double chocolate Zucchini Muffin and Classic Matcha Latte👍was so good .The muffin ,i like it’s not so sweet.For sure i will order it again and i will try another menu.”

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

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

“Waiting for my another Roll me Up icecream…😋😋😋so yumm…honestly new experience wid icecreams and spcl Thanks to the service at Markham outlet..great going Roll Me Up Team”

“customer service is great the drinks are healthy and fresh”

“I had my first visit yesterday at Donlands Diner in East York for brunch and it was honestly such an amazing experience. The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the grilled cheese with tomato and bacon with fries, and my partner ordered a BLT with fries. Everything came out fast, fresh, and tasted incredible.
The waitress Tina was such an amazing hostess — so kind, friendly, and welcoming. She made us feel like family from the moment we walked in and talked to us like we had known each other for years. The whole experience felt so warm and genuine.
The diner has such a beautiful vibe with 50s and 60s themed music playing, which made the atmosphere even more special. Service was seamless from start to finish and we left super happy. Definitely one of the best brunch experiences I’ve had and I’ll absolutely be coming back!”

“Awesome place! The aroma that invites you as you open the door, tells you right away that the place has some delicious fare. The taste lives upto the expectations.”

“We went to this cafe after our pedia appointment because the smell of the food was so good that it attracted us so we went in and try their food. They serve good food here. I had the penne pasta in tomato sauce with beef and it came with side of salad which i also liked. I also ordered their buttered chicken to go and it didnt disappoint, it came with potato and rice. Chicken was big and the potato and sauce of butter chicken taste so good.”

“I have never ordered from this place before
It was my very first time and it never disappointed
Their veggie rolls are literally the best
Best customer service! Very approachable.”

“I highly recommend Zerrin for custom made cakes! She has made three cakes for me. One for my baby shower and cakes for my son’s 1st and 2nd birthdays, and each one was absolutely beautiful. The designs were delicate and exactly what I asked for, and the cakes tasted amazing every time.
If you’re in the East York area and looking for delicious, custom cakes, she’s the best choice!”

“They serve the best Mexican food!!! 🥰”

“Excellent staff, very friendly and polite. They take time to converse with you. Food is just as good as well as the menu options. Very calm atmosphere, highly recommend.”

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

“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”

“Brilliant coffee shop! Great drinks, staff and ambience!”

“I have been going to this store since the 80's, when it was my corner store, and ice cream shop. And it's become a destination in Toronto, a special place to visit with friends. Drop by, and feel better. ♥️🏳️‍🌈🇨🇦”

“Love this spot. I’ve been a fan since it first opened, and it’s so nice to see it still going strong. My favourite is the smoked salmon croissant and their lattes, but you really can’t go wrong”

“I know they open very early for the amazing breakfast menu, but my only disappointment is that the kitchen closes too soon at night. Maybe they should announce last call for food like they do for alcohol as 1030pm seems very early when people need to absorb the drinks while enjoying the amazing LIVE local talent on Saturday nights. 10/10 for Mark, Reno & the Chefs :)”

“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 👏”

“Oh my goodness!! If I could give more stars I would. The Haddock was absolutely delicious! It was so fresh and piping hot. The fish was cooked perfectly. The French fries were also piping hot. The gravy was good. It would have been nice to serve such delicious fish with homemade Tatar Sauce but it was not. Just packets. I think my head would have blown off had it been homemade. That’s how delicious it was. Regardless of packaged Tatar Sauce, it was still over the top- good to eat.”

“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!”

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

“A truly wonderful experience. Idyllic setting and neighborhood, the kindest people creating comforting and fresh flavors of chocolate, gelato, vegan gelato, and ice cream. I would recommend to anyone with a heart and a sweet tooth. Tried the mango vegan gelato and pistachio, both delightful.”

“We drive by this small shop a number of times. We order the Spaghetti meatballs and Parma Focaccia Sandwich. The Spaghetti is freshly made with chewy texture and the tomato sauce pairing well with the meatball. The pasta is very tasty. The Focaccia bread has a crunchy crust and all the ingredients are freshly and very delicious. We will definitely come back to try other dishes. The staff is very friendly!”

“Lived in the neighborhood for 40 years and just found this little gem hidden away, I never knew it was there after all these years. Mandarin at Yonge and Eglinton just closed down so finding this place couldn't have come at a better time. Although I wish I had known about it long before now.”

“Probably the best "chain store" pizza in Canada! Love to get a slice or two when visiting Toronto. Hope they open branches in Ottawa soon (we need better pizza slices in the nation's capital).”

“The Service was great but I will never order the pancakes from them again, I was undercooked and dorothy on the inside. I told our waitress and they brought me a new one and It's same thing, either they don't communicate with the kitchen or the people who cook the pancakes just don't care. Eventhough the waitress has rectify the issue and asked me if I want to order something else but everyone already finished eating so end up didn't get to eat.”

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

“I’ve been coming to this Tim Hortons for a while, and Rebeka is absolutely amazing. She recognizes me as soon as I walk in and always remembers my order. That kind of personal service is so rare and makes my day every time. Thank you, Rebeka!”

“Cảm ơn nhiều ☺️.

Based on my late night pho dac biet take-out I just finished enjoying, this restaurant is legit and classic. It reminds me of my childhood 🥹. When I walked in, there were 3 generations present - and this was beautiful to see.

I'm Vietnamese-Canadian, my parents are from Saigon, Vietnam. So, I've probably had more than 500 bowls of homemade pho in my lifetime so far 🤣. I don't normally review restaurants until I dine-in because usually take-out/pick up isn't nearly as good - but this was wonderful:

The pho dac biet was good: The broth has that perfect very slight sweetness and was nice and clear & clean, the bò viên (beef meat balls) are handmade (which most places in Toronto don't do), and you get all the proper herbs and fixens you're supposed to get (which not a lot of Toronto spots do with this level of detail). These details alone make whatever I payed for the bowl more than worth it.

I recommend supporting and enjoying this small, local, hard-working family-run restaurant.”

“I love this place mainly because they sometimes have the largest fried chicken thighs! It’s also Halal, crispy and freshly made.

It’s a hidden gem and a small place with some tables and warm neighbourhood vibe. When I’m in the area I usually get the 2 mixed fried chicken $5.99 (price as of June 2026).

The owner is a nice, older man and service is usually fast when it’s not busy. Only negative is the leftover chicken reheated next day from fridge unfortunately tastes bland. Popeyes Chicken is still tasty when reheated the next day.”

“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.”

“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 ❤️❤️🥰”

“Hi, the manager at this Burger King is amazing! She cares. It's a very welcoming environment. We need people like this. Many places in Toronto are full of arrogance. It's embarrassing and shameful. Sorry.. But this staff is sincere and genuine.. We need friendliness and politeness. I'll always be a returning customer! Thank you!!!!! J”

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

“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 just ordered My Big Fat Greek meal and an 18” Golden Pizza for pick up. The kids and adults were so happy with the food. Fresh ingredients, quality meats, delicious salad, and lots of everything, including sauces. And as it always is when we go for pizza at Grampas - he orders from here religiously- the pizza was phenomenal, with kids vying for the yummy dough ball in the middle. AND the price was so reasonable. The food was ready exactly when they said it would be (only 20min from the time we ordered), and the guys were warm and friendly and clearly just good, hard working people. We will be ordering again soon and repeatedly. I highly recommend Golden Pizza Geo :)”

“My son and I were looking for a cup of coffee, and were drawn to 367 Cafe by the promise of a patio. It's in the back and can be heated. Essentially this is a cozy cafe and sports bar. The very friendly proprietor told us it isn't worth his while to try to serve meals during the pandemic. The espresso was very good, however.”

“An awesome shop run by very kind folks. I work nearby and frequent this location. The staff are great, the food is always fresh and really delicious (even in comparison to other Pizza Novas, like the one near my home). Highly recommended!”

“I really enjoyed my experience here. The food was tasty and well-prepared, and you could tell a lot of care went into it. The atmosphere was nice and comfortable, making it a great place to sit and relax. What stood out the most was the customer service the staff were super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. I’d definitely come back again”

“We love Athens! The people are so lovely. They have the best loukomades!”

“Fantastic service and delicious food!”

“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”

“Truly a gem at the quiet part of the Danforth east area! Amazing store, amazing drinks and treats! Wonderful staff. Calm, hip, pretty atmosphere! Highly recommended!”

“Hands down the best Tim Hortons in the city. I have been coming here nearly everyday for the past 2 years, just because of how amazing the staff are... I wish every Timmies was this great. 100 out of 10!”

“A gem. Generous on everything you think somebody might skimp on. Picked up and ate at a East York Civic Center picnic table.”

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

“I visit this Tim Hortons every day for my coffee, and Praveen always makes my experience a great one. She is excellent at her work—efficient, professional, and always attentive to details. What truly stands out is her warm and genuine smile that greets every customer. No matter how busy it gets, she keeps the atmosphere positive and welcoming. Thank you, Praveen, for making my mornings brighter!”

“Amazing service. I ordered for dine in. The family is nice. The food was great. Overall I would give it over 5 stars but unfortunately that’s the max. The son took my order as well, he is very intelligent, I hope he succeeds for his future goals.”

“Yes 100% recommended 😋😋🤤🤤”

“Have a 5 drinks lol with a friend visiting from Turks and Caicos 🇹🇨 I’ll be back , u r my neighborhood 😃”

“Great coffee when you can get it fresh. I especially love their spicy beef patties. Also, they're bringing back their iced coffee closer to summer! Best iced coffee I've ever had! Thank you, Julie!”

“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.”

“Rasogolla, chamcham, sandesh”

“Very kind interactions, very clean store plus the staff were amazing with keeping things clean on their end as well, made sure to change gloves when going from table to till, very thorough and great customer service! This is our fave sub place to come to, keep up the great work :)”

“great location, the defender tea is awesome”

“This is a gem. The owner, Fen, serves you and she's very warm, friendly and accommodating. I'm the kind of patron servers try to avoid because I always want to switch ingredients. Only broccoli and mushroom with my bean curd? No problem! Normally a place will just leave out the other ingredients and not compensate for their absence, but clearly, as the photo shows, it's not how they operate here.

Most of their business is take out, so the place has been exceptionally quiet every time I've come, which is nice. The menu is well organized and easy to navigate.

The pricing is very reasonable and the portions are quite large, but on top of everything the food texture is appropriately firm (not mushy, like some places... You actually need to chew your broccoli here!) and the flavor is excellent.”

“I live in the neighborhood and have been a customer for more than 10 years. My grandchildren go here twice a week for their pizza lunch. This Pizza Pizza location always has fantastic pizza and great service — we’ve never had any issues with their products. Highly recommend! 🍕”

“I remember going for lunch when I was in junior high back then ❤️Great food”

“I ordered mango dip , but it wasn't taste like mango. Salesperson suggested me something else, that was ok to try but not completely satisfying.

Dietary restrictions: They have some vegan options..”

“BEST FREEDO IN CANADA”

“Great experience and cookies!”

“Great food, great prices, great service, and, very clean.”

“I recently met Paras and he’s such a genuine and welcoming person. Every time I walk into Zabardast Hyderabadi Biryani, the aroma itself makes me feel happy. it’s so rich and inviting. The biryani here is truly delicious, perfectly spiced, and always satisfying. I actually come here every Sunday after work, and it has become my little weekend treat.”

“Just love this Dairy Queen love the kids that work here all up beat. Was yesterday and had there large soft ice cream chocolate dipped and my friends had a blizzard with chocolate and cherries. Miles was really great and so happy to help us. But came back today agian order double chesse burger so no picture he eat it to fast. But I split the large poutine and koyuki face lite up and said the pouting is excellent. Thank you staff at DAIRY QUEEN just love this location. Keep up the great work.”

“Church’s Chicken Canada - 3003 Danforth Avenue”

“I’ve ordered the red sunrise at other locations, but this one was the best - flavours were super well rounded. I ordered breakfast here during a busy morning, Honey served me and she was also the best and handled everything on her own like a pro.”

“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....”

“Great place, great food, great people and great ambience”

“Got oven baked wings again. I'm very picky with wings. These were crispy and juicy. My go-to now. The thin crust pizza is great. No complaints. Those who think the wings are soggy should get sauce on the side.”

“Very nice restaurant in Scarborough area. Delicious Bangladeshi food . We ordered Morogpolow for family. It was so delicious like food in Bangladesh. Nice decoration. Service was excellent. I recommend everyone to enjoy their delicious food and enjoy the environment.”

“Total delicious awesomeness of bite sized belly filling comfort food.”

“Everytime I come to this location theirs always a issue ..today I was there they had no cash to give me for change. I had to leave the food (they already made the food) collect back my cash and go somewhere else to buy food . Im fed up of this and im not going back to this location”

“Only delicious Bangladesh 🇧🇩 food restaurant on Danforth”

“Great café with a relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff, and quality drinks. I really enjoyed the Strawberries & Cream Smoothie, refreshing, creamy, and full of flavor. A nice place to grab a coffee or smoothie and relax for a while.”

“I went to this tims today around 6pm and noticed it was the cleanest Tim Hortons I’ve been to by far. Absolutely amazing staff the girls working there were super friendly and quick. Had an amazing overall experience. Will def visit again.”

“Everything I've ordered is delicious! Their dishes have such great flavors. Would definitely recommend.”

“Omar was amazing! His customer service was great, and the guys at the back were the real heroes. They made the pizza so delicious and made all my expectations come through. Definitely can recommend this place to any pizza lovers.”

“Our Server (forgot to get her name) was so great & kind”

“The woman working here was great.. She made my sandwich exactly how I asked.. Didn't have to ask for more or less of anything. Hope she stays around that store because I haven't visited there in a while because of past staff and their rudeness actually.”
