Restaurants near Lansdowne

“My friends and I went to thousand islands for a few days and stayed in an airbnb. We couldn't find any restaurants nearby except for Rapid Valley so we decided to try it out and it was worth it. The building itself was clean and comfortable, the service was perfect but the best part was the food. I got the fried chicken sandwich which was amazing. The fries lacked some salt but there was salt provided so that wasn't an issue. One of my friends got the fish and chips which also tasted really good but was really oily which you would expect. My other friend got the chicken strips which were also good. My other friend also got the fried chicken sandwich. I would highly recommend anyone in the area to come here.”

“A classic French restaurant with a great atmosphere and complimentary cocktails that taste unique.”

“First class from beginning to end. We were lucky to reserve seats at the chef’s bar and see the detail and care that goes in to every dish. Great chat, buzzing atmosphere and fantastic food. A memorable evening ❤️”

“I tried different Manadrin restaurants , I am always coming to mandarin Queensway every week, because it is the best and I think management make the deference. 5 star goes to Jennifer for good management.”

“From the moment we arrived, the team delivered warm, polished, and attentive service. The Wagyu was unbelievably tender and richly flavored; the lobster arrived fresh. Every course arrived at just the right pace, allowing us to fully enjoy each bite. Though elegant, the dining room felt inviting—not stuffy. Overall, the services and environment was much more impressive than the foods.”

“Grey Gardens is a marker in Toronto for me - the place I want to take friends to for a celebratory meal and where I want to retreat when I feel like a solo date, sitting at the chef’s counter.
It is rare for any restaurant to have survived the past few years intact, it is another thing entirely for one to have maintained the consistency that GG has.
On this occasion, my sisters and I wanted to celebrate the fact that all our birthdays happen to be in August. Farhad, our server, was a delight and it was our collective joy to discover that we all hail from Bombay. The perfect recommendations for wine to go with our food selections. The stand-outs - spaghetti with duck, fennel and parm, the scallop crudo with chicken fat, shrimp toast, caraflex (perfection) and the blueberry galette with corn ice cream.
Farhad brought us an extra strawberry gelato so we would have three desserts, each with a candle. And a special glass of amaro as a post-dinner digestif.
Exceptional food (and great value!!) that just makes you happy to be out on a late summer’s evening and service that makes you want to come back, again and again. Grey Gardens, you will always be famous (to me).”

“Very spicy, I feel like I lost two pounds after eating it lol😆”

“I came here for the second time with my partner during the dinner rush. Completely blew our expectations away!

We remember our first time eating here, with the food being decent but nothing crazy and the service was okay. However upon our second time visiting, our server, Bill Xu, was not only kind but went above and beyond to show us genuine hospitality. He was extremely patient with any questions we had and checked in with us often.

The food was delicious with the marbled beef being my favorite item that night. There are a variety of items you can choose from with the selection being quite large. Both sweet and savoury items were quite tasty so you can't really go wrong.

Lastly, I take the cleanliness of washrooms very seriously. I have to say that I was very impressed upon walking into the washroom. Not only was the design of the washroom itself modern and elegant, but it was very apparent that the staff does check their washrooms. It was pretty clean and there were several free amenities offered (toothpicks, floss, mouthwash). Overall, I was speechless to discover a really good washroom experience in a city full of awful and disgusting washrooms.

While the bill can be expensive by the end, the service and quality of the food was top-notch. Overall, this was a great experience and we will definitely be coming again.”

“What a wonderful experience! The warmth and hospitality of the Yukashi staff was only surpassed by the food which was absolutely sensational. One of the most memorable dinners I have ever experienced, and so happy I saved this one for a special event.”

“Hate that I found this place because I will only want to eat here from now on. Loved the food options and look forward to try new things in the menu. We tried the bang bang broccoli, cauliflower wings, tuna sushi roll, summer rolls, and the pasta. All delicious. Service is the best I’ve in experienced in Toronto. Atmosphere is clean and calming.”

“Ate fish sticks. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻. The milk shakes are awesome especially the Rum chocolate milk shake. Staff is very courteous. Bartender was making some interesting cocktails. Will try next time.”

“Ram the late night host is an actual legend!”

“Incredible. Let's just start out with the vibe. Immaculate lighting and interior, like an old library/bar with an almost romantic woodsy feel.

The service was great, attentive, all of it.

Where this place made my day, was the food. The lamb ribs were one of the best bites of food I've ever had. Don't get me wrong, everything else was fantastic, but the lamb ribs BLEW my mind.

Order 2 of them.”

“I love this place. They have amazing vegan options but also options for meat eaters as well. Good wine selection and cocktails. Best vegan caesar salad in the city and the Hakka tofu is lovely as well.”

“A Wonderful Birthday Experience at Bosporus Turkish Cuisine We had the pleasure of dining at Bosporus Turkish Cuisine last night to celebrate my birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a cozy autumn charm that made the evening feel truly special. A heartfelt thank you to our amazing waitress, Eda, who made the night extraordinary. Her kindness, attentiveness, and warm personality created such a welcoming experience. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect and even helped my husband organize a lovely surprise for me, which was the highlight of the evening! The food was absolutely exceptional—each dish was a delightful combination of authentic Turkish flavors and elegant presentation. From the rich appetizers to the decadent desserts, every bite was a testament to the chef’s skill and passion. Thank you, Eda, and the entire team at Bosporus Turkish Cuisine, for making my birthday celebration so memorable. Your impeccable service, delicious food, and thoughtfulness will not be forgotten. We can’t wait to return and will certainly recommend your restaurant to all our friends and family. Sincerely, Sabina”

“Came for Sunday brunch with an impressive menu. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and added frites, very authentic/French feel to everything. It's quite small inside with tables close to one another (typical Toronto dining) but we were lucky to be sat in a booth as a party of 3 which was spacious. Our server was friendly and attentive, orders came in smoothly and in a timely manner.”

“Delicious food and a wide selection of drinks. Friendly service. Thank you Nick... you're amazing!”

“Fabulous food, reasonably priced, fast and friendly service.🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭”

“Amazing chef’s tasting and attentive staff!”

“Dining at Actinolite Restaurant this past Friday was an experience that transcended expectation — an evening defined by artistry, intention, and heartfelt hospitality. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were embraced by a calm, welcoming atmosphere filled with genuine warmth. The space radiates quiet confidence, setting the perfect tone for what unfolded as an exquisite culinary journey.

Under the masterful direction of Chef de Cuisine Jeremy, alongside Sous Chef Kieran and Pastry Chef Jahlea, each course unfolded like a poetic expression of flavour and creativity. Every dish told a story rooted in respect for local ingredients and a deep commitment to seasonality. The flavours were bold yet balanced, the textures refined, and the presentation elegant in its simplicity. Each plate reflected intention, artistry, and a profound reverence for the craft.

The service, led by Miguel and Krista, was exceptional — warm yet unobtrusive, informed yet effortless. Their attentiveness and expertise elevated the entire experience, creating a seamless bridge between the kitchen’s artistry and the guest’s delight.

What stood out most was the intentionality behind every detail — from the sourcing of ingredients to the pacing of each course. Actinolite doesn’t rely on theatrics; instead, it offers a deeply personal culinary narrative defined by purity, precision, and emotion.

In a city rich with culinary talent, Actinolite stands apart as a sanctuary of authenticity and grace. Every bite, every gesture, and every moment felt like a love letter to the art of fine dining.

Actinolite is far more than a restaurant; it is an experience of connection, creativity, and care. It unquestionably merits Michelin consideration, standing as a benchmark of culinary excellence where artistry meets heart.”
