50 Best Wine Bars near North York

“Celebrated my birthday at Zui Beer Bar and had an absolute blast! Ordered the Neon Blitz and a deck of cards, which added to the fun and games with my girls. The vibrant atmosphere, delicious drinks, and lively vibe made for an unforgettable night.

The staff were friendly and attentive when needed, drinks came out fast.The Neon Blitz drink was fruity nicely presented, not strong at all - a must-try if you're not a fan of strong liquor taste, we would have liked it to have a stronger kick for the price. Music was more of a techno type. Overall, the space is on the tighter side but still cozy.

Zui Beer Bar is the perfect spot for a fun night out with friends. We can't wait to return and create more memories.

Reading some of the other reviews, apparently, they give out free birthday drink #sad I didn't get one.

Parking: Lots of Green P parking around“

“Great food great atmosphere 👏🍷“

“The food was absolutely amazing. My 3 daughters and I went there for dinner during Summerlicious 2022. We didn't have reaervations and the options were a 1 hour wait to sit inside or be seated right away on the patio. We chose the patio. We were served our drinks and appetizers within 1/2 hour but our main course came about an hour after but it was worth the wait. We will definitely return🍾🎉“

“Great service. Great food. And drink. And atmosphere.“

“We were very impressed with Boccaccio Ristorante! We went today for the Summerlicious lunch. The restaurant is very elegant and quiet. Our server (David) was absolutely wonderful. He was so pleasant and helpful. The delicious bread with a homemade extra-virgin olive oil was a nice touch and we had as starters the tuna salad with olives and assorted lettuces with a lemon vinaigrette and a yummy potato dish, our main course consisted of the linguine with the pesto and gnocchi with ricotta cheese, and mozzarella. Our desserts were also amazing. We enjoyed the lemon cake which was so fresh and the outstanding tiramisu. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and our server, David made it extra special! I would definitely go back again very soon!“

“Food was phenomenal, drinks were mixed perfectly, everything came out quickly. Staff were attentive and worked together to make our experience great. Going back every time I stay at the harbourfront.“

“You can go there knowing they won’t disappoint. Their menu is always consistent, and you can expect the same high standard of delicious food every time. this restaurant consistently delivers quality and satisfaction. Highly recommended for anyone who values dependable and excellent dining experiences.“

“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).“

“DaNico is one of the top ranked restaurants in Canada and that’s for a good reason. The restaurant has a pleasant decor with knowledgeable and attentive staff worthy of Michelins star and of course the tasting menu was exceptional with delicious and innovative dishes that are pleasant to the eye, nose and tongue. The staff is also very accommodating to dietary restrictions even a few last minute requests of my party. Only detractor is that the restaurant had a constant smokey smell from the grilling in the kitchen. Nevertheless definitely recommend this restaurant for a special occasion or when you feel like splurging on a meal.“

“A Hidden Gem for Brunch!!

I came here with 3 of my girlies that love brunch. Everything we ordered was fresh, light, and absolutely delicious.
We started with some drinks which were super affordable compared to other brunch places. The espresso martinis weren’t too sweet and had the perfect balance.

As for the dishes the standout for me was the smoked salmon toast. The combination of the eggs, fresh dill, and sliced salmon on top of toast was so yummy.

Service was nice and the place was cozy/bright. Highly recommend this spot for a girls’ brunch or casual date.“

“I strongly recommend the Portuguese chicken sliders! It was a small plate but very filling and affordable. The service was also 10/10 our server was very accommodating and made sure that we enjoyed and cocktails. Go here for dinner, you won't be disappointed!“

“So glad we found this wine bar! Great selection of wine by glass/ bottle, with decent seating indoor. We tried four different styles of wine, well curated by our server/ sommelier, Harleen, who is very friendly and knowledgeable. Thoroughly enjoyed every sip of wine!“

“I went to Simpl Things tonight with seven friends. We had the black pepper calamari, steamed bao, mushroom salad, fried chicken, steamed dumplings and chefs platters. Everything was amazing. The fried chicken was perhaps the best I’ve ever had in Canada. The chefs platter steak and sausage were divine. The service and atmosphere were great. Loved the 90’s grooves on Spotify. And the prices are reasonable especially considering the dish quality. Do yourself a favor and give Simpl Things a try. We will be going back.“

“Came on Sunday night, was surprised to see they have Sunday happy hour. There was a super nice vibe, cosy, dark, and good music (jazz, rnb, funk, rap, reggae, ext). Really nice for a date spot or just a casual hang out, some dancing even broke out. We Enjoyed A $40 bottle of wine between 2 ppl ❤️ really great time! Maybe ill get to try the food next time!!“

“Not only the best place to eat in the neighbourhood; one of the best in all of Toronto. Always imaginative additions to the menu. Great service.“

“Amazing restaurant. The outdoor space in the back is great even in the winter. The sharing plates are so good and the wine selection is amazing.“

“We visited for the first time this evening and absolutely loved the food and service! Such a great addition to the neighbourhood and we will absolutely be regulars! Highly recommended! The beef cheek was amazing!“

“We’ve gone here a couple of times, early evening on a Thursday both times. The service is outstanding! It makes an already great experience even better. I don’t remember our servers name, I think he was Irish? But he was amazing, super friendly & knowledgeable! We did a prix fixe menu and all of the courses were perfectly timed, we never had empty drinks or dirty dishes on the table. The food was phenomenal, the sea bream & the pavlova were 11/10. The drinks were also fantastic & came out very fast. Ambiance was perfect, definitely a new go-to date night spot!!“

“Midfield is my favourite place!! The wine list is wonderful with special descriptions under each wine, there was this wonderful creamy and textured chardonnay blend which I am still dreaming about . Not only a wine bar, midfield is also a food gem in the city! the chef has a farm where the vegetables are grown with love and you can tell, there are very creative/thoughtful dishes with the best seasonal ingredients. I have especially loved when celtuce is in season and on the menu, but year round the salmon crudo in its different iterations always hits the spot.
Beyond the food and wine, the atmosphere is warm and very cozy. Everyone working is always incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, and they seem to have an uncanny knack for recommending what I should drink, its like we have the same palate.
If you're looking for a place with amazing wine, outstanding food go to Midfield!!!!“

“Here’s a hidden gem on King Street that doubles as both a bar and café, and I’m so glad we checked it out after a local stranger highly recommended it. The space is super charming, with plenty of indoor seating, but the real surprise is the outdoor patio - it’s much larger and nicer than you’d expect from the outside. Perfect for soaking up the gorgeous fall weather.

The menu has a nice mix of wine, beer, cocktails, and coffee, plus some light snacks to pair with your drinks. It’s the kind of place that works just as well for an afternoon latte as it does for after-work drinks or pre-drinks before heading out.

The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, making it easy to lose track of time here. We don’t usually venture down this way, but now that we know about it, we’ll definitely be back.“

“Solid bar for drinks and snacks that features one of the best espresso martinis in town. They stand by it and I have to admit that it’s very solid.

Didn’t have food this day, but tried a couple of drinks, and for some reason the first server didn’t save my discount code so luckily someone else in my group signed up.

Overall, fun spot if you’re in the area and want a quick stop for a drink.“

“I loved the assortment of bread they provided since they were buttery and tasty. We got the brussel sprouts which were crispy, soft, and delicious. We got the cod and john dory dishes. The cod was chewy and had lots of shaved truffle on it. The cod seemed over cooked and I thought that dish should have had a bit more vegetable with it. It had potato and thin slices of zuchinni but the potato did not add much texture or flavour and the zuchinni was barely noticeable because it was shaved so thinly. The john dory dish was good, but I would have preferred it without the roe. Their sauces and purees were very flavourful. We got the profiteroles for dessert which were crunchy and quite pleasant. It was a good experience overall and I would eat there again.“

“Discovered and visited this place for the first time today and I have a feeling I’ll be back in no time. The food menu is very unique and excellent for pairing with any of the wines they have. And the wine selection is excellent. If you are a fan of rose or orange wine then you will feel like a kid in a candy store here. And our server Ainsley was very welcoming and really amazing at recommending a few items worth trying. Absolutely loved the radicchio salad. And there is also a nice patio outside.“

“We ordered the vegetarian combo, and it was absolutely delicious! The three-course meal was authentic and full of rich Indian flavors. On top of that, Harshika was incredibly friendly and made our dining experience even better. Highly recommend!“

“Always good food and drink.“

“Enjoyed my birthday dinner. Very friendly service.“

“Ego Bar and Restaurant is hands down the best
bar in Thornhill! The vibe is chill, the service is great, and the food is always on point. Loved the music and overall atmosphere, and I was definitely coming back for more weekends with friends.“

“Excellent food and excellent staff“

“We made reservations for a lunch meeting. Have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Our service was slow, not sure why ? The area was not busy and seemed the waitress was irritated with us asking to order our drinks and food. Overall a pleasant experience“

“Very cute brunch spot. They have a nice patio space in the back especially when the weather is nice. We ordered the Union Breakfast Sandwich and the Union Burger. I preferred the latter. Service was excellent and I loved the decor and atmosphere inside and out. They have an open kitchen where you can see the chefs preparing your meal and they also have a small bar inside the restaurant. I would definitely come back.“

“Second time there to having dinner with my husband by Dior’s retreat. Very thankful and grateful“

“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.“

“Great find. We sat at the bar as they were busy, bar staff were very friendly and knowlegable about the menu, always looked after us. We both had the pasta dish off of their specials menu. Shrimp with an Italian sausage, it was piping hot and very tasty!“

“The food is always fresh, very creative and exceptional. The Chef does a great job at incorporating local ingredients to her meals. The desserts are homemade and very special. Tutti Matti is the type of restaurant that makes you feel welcomed and appreciated. We love going back on a regular basis.“

“I can never get tired of this place. I really enjoy their menu. Great atmosphere, great weight staff overall, I have a great experience visited the Sherway Gardens location first followed by the location by Colossus Both locations left me with great experience overall and will return again!“

“Amazing pasta and pizza!“

“Wonderful. Loved the matcha opera birthday cake! Very attentive service. Innovative cuisine. Unfortunate that the chef went home because his kids were sick... so we missed meeting him... but as Pediatricians we more than sympathized. Volodymyr was excellent. Sommelier needs to read up on Prince Edward County and be able to distinguish it from Niagara.“

“Amazing food! Will be back!“

“Food is great and reasonably priced ,great drinks and the staff are excellent ,well trained and have a laugh with you .The manager made me a Caesar (cocktail) and converted me …. Will definitely be back“

“Had a fantastic time trying “Tiana’s special” date night menu. Highly recommend the corn tartlets and tandoori chicken wings for appetizers; packed with flavour!! HIGHLY recommend the lamb shank curry; the meat was fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with flavour! The butter chicken was also great! We also tried the Gully’s Tres Leches and it was a fantastic way to end the night! The chef/owner is a very cool and kind guy. 10/10 experience!“

“Food is so authentically good!“

“Good food and service, nice atmosphere 🍷“

“Excellent mixologists. Didn’t love the cocktail menu (too much tequila, mezcal and gin based for my tastes), but pleased that everything I ordered was well balanced and not too sweet. Food was fantastic. Service was friendly and knowledgeable, but not that attentive on a Fri night. I shouldn’t have to go out of my way to catch someone’s attention to order another drink, my glass was empty for a while. Overall a fun place“

“The staff were friendly and welcoming, the store was clean and tidy, and I was very impressed with the overall experience.“

“Our favourite date night in the west end. Have been here maybe 10 times+ and have never had a bad meal. The couple who own the restaurant are so passionate welcoming and the food speaks for itself. Also the every night “date night” special is the best deal going in toronto for any couple looking for an elevated dining experience on a budget. Simply the best.“

“We had a wonderful experience at Tulia Osteria Bar The service was impeccable (thank you Andy!) and the food, amazing. We ordered the Antipasti Board to start and it was well curated and had ample portions. We followed this up a Pizzano pizza and Tagliatelle Bolognese. Very flavourful on both counts. And Pistachio gelato to finish. They are just getting started! Highly recommend. We will definitely be back!“

“Excellent food. and very friendly staff. The mushroom salad, veal marsala, and the short ribs were fantastic. We highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Came here on a Saturday night for a few drinks and apps.

For drinks, I got the non alcoholic Silent G which was super tasty.
For food we ordered the chicken and tuna melt empanadas as well as the Dumplings - all were delicious !

Atmosphere and service was also great! 😊“

“I was walking around after a Jays game. During my travels I stumbled upon a sign outside of this restaurant which said something about a secret patio. I had to try it.

I was greeted by friendly people and a beautiful interior. The patio was also nice and had a wonderful ambience.

I ordered a Negroni and a Shrimp Toast. The Shrimp Toast was so nice. It was crispy and airy. It was a tasty delicate snack! To finish up, I had a Boulevardier. They also gave me some complimentary fresh baby tomatoes. They were good.

The bartender was really cool. He made excellent drinks! I had a very nice time and I want to come back for a proper meal. Pretty neat that this is a Michelin Guide restaurant.“
