Restaurants in Toronto

“Perfect place for breakfast/lunch! Great customer service, great food and drink! I recommend the place ?. Make sure to try the Ube ice coffee!

For tourists! Municipal parking nearby! And within walking distance of Nana’s and beach”

“When the steak is fried just right, you can feel the aroma of gravy in your mouth. It's great.”

“Delicious food, romantic atmosphere and perfect dining experience.”

“Incredible French bistro cuisine in a cozy intimate setting. Highlights were the Eggplant, Tomato and fried feta cheese, Duck/Chicken with Chanterelles and the prawn spaghetti. Drink menu is more wine forward (3 cocktail options) but everything was otherwise perfect!”

“Met all my expectations, great selection of delicious foods to choose from.”

“Compared to some of the other fine dining experiences I’ve tried, Alo is an amazing experience, but I do believe that there are a lot better alternatives based on the food, experience, and price you’re expected to pay. Based on the worn out seats, small glasses of wine, getting sick after eating there, and all the meal upgrades they offer in the beginning, it does kind of feel like they may put profits above all else - but I sincerely hope that this isn’t the case.

4/5 stars for the food - and for a few reasons. Firstly, like one of the newer reviews below me had mentioned, I did feel sick the very next day after dining here. My partner felt fine but it took about two full days for me to fully recover. I’m not sure if there was something about the ingredients they used or if it was something related to their food handling but I hope that this is something they look into.

In terms of the food itself, there were several highlight dishes that made up for some of the ones that weren’t as memorable. We also opted for a caviar upgrade for one of the dishes, but unfortunately, I felt like the dish would have been just as fine without it.

Other than that, our sommelier was amazing and took us on a journey with each and every glass that we had. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about each wine, and the parings definitely elevated each dish we had. However, compared to other wine parings I’ve experienced, the amount of wine we were given was a lot smaller in comparison. But even then, I still wouldn’t miss out on the parings!

During service, I found the waiters to be very attentive and very natural. It’s very easy for establishments like these to feel a little robotic but I didn’t feel that way at all.

In terms of the actual dining establishment itself, the leather sofas felt a little sticky & could use a good reupholstering. Besides that, the rest of the establishment felt very clean and comfortable.

We also found a few mistakes on our takeaway cards as well. For one, I was provided with the wrong wine list and my partner’s name was spelled incorrectly - which had a special happy birthday greeting inside. At this price point, there should be a certain degree of care and attention to each customer & there shouldn’t be any mistakes like these at all.

Overall, my partner and I had an amazing experience at Alo but based on the price point, I do believe that there are other establishments that exceed the experience we had at Alo. Nevertheless, all of these misses could be easily improved on and I hope to be back again with a much better experience!!

Parking: I ended up parking at an underground Green P nearby (2 minute walk).”

“Excellent food and service! Would come back.”

“Viola was our server and she was FANTASTIC! She helped make my friend’s birthday extra special. She was so patient with all of our questions. My son has a peanut allergy and she was sure to check on everything we ordered to make sure it was safe! She was so kind to kt 16 year old daughter who kept trying to say the “secret” phrases to get us little bonuses. I highly recommend this place !!!!! So much fun!”

“The experience of authentic flavours and being transported back home to Thailand is truly unmatched at Pai. It’s THE place to take everyone you know if you want to get them to absolutely fall in love with Thai food. The staff are very friendly and efficient, the portions are generous and no matter how long the wait can get, we will always come back for more. Don’t miss out on the appetizer platter. It’s Thailand represented with perfection.”

“Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow! Meow meow meow...meow meow! Meow meow meow? Meow! (too delicious)”

“Karahi Boys exceeded my expectations! The food was incredibly flavorful, with rich, authentic spices that really hit the mark. I tried their signature karahi, and it was cooked to perfection. What made the experience even better was the excellent service from Yash—he was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for top-notch Pakistani cuisine with fantastic service, this is the place to be! Highly recommend!”

“Beautiful food with such perfect flavours. Had the oysters mushrooms to start and the duo of ducks as my main course. Both were fantastic and I would highly recommend them. Wine was also divine - had the Kew Vineyards 2019 Marsanne / Viognier and NV Chardonnay | "Blanc de Blanc".
Service was impeccable and had a really nice conversation with the server after our meal.”

“Food was incredible, and as a vegetarian couple it was nice to just be able to order anything on the menu. Best food we've had in a long time. Our waitress was kind and quick. Only oddity was they needed my phone number "in case they needed to tell me my table was ready" when 80% of the tables were empty.”

“Oysters 4/5
Beef tartare is really good 5/5
Elk sliders 4/5

Most were fine, except one. We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the chef prepare the dishes, and we also enjoyed recording these. but one waiter sternly asked us "no video! it is not allowed here! ", that was never happened before, I don't know why he was that attitude?. but he didn't served us again, and the other waitress was still nice.”

“Fantastic place... great food experience. But the service by "Sha Sha" (sorry, likely mispelled..) was really top notch... She went above and beyond the duty call to make it an unforgettable experience for us. So kind and helpful!!”

“I have mixed feelings writing this review. We placed a reservation and when we came inside, we believed we would be seated almost immediately. However, we stood in the entrance for around 10 minutes unnoticed. Once we finally got seated, we were all ready to place our orders(we looked at the menu online) and we told our server we were ready and he just walked away. He came back around 10 minutes later and took our orders. Food came around 40 minutes later. The quality of the food was good, and the taste was excellent for most dishes(compliments to the chef). We ordered a trout dish and when it came looking like salmon we asked the server if we had gotten the wrong dish and he told us that it was trout and walked away again. After some extensive googling we learned that it was in fact steelhead trout(flavor & appearance very similar to salmon). We wished that he took the time to explain it to us. Overall a decent spot, but our evening was ruined by the poor service.”

“My friends and I went to Denny's recently and it was fantastic! I need to commend our server, Khan, for the superb service he provided us. He was very friendly and just overall had great vibes. In addition, the food was also amazing and tasty and filling. I myself had one of their skillets and it was delicious. Would 100% recommend!!!”

“Grey Gardens was phenomenal. We had such a great experience for our anniversary dinner. The service was so friendly and prompt, the food was beyond our expectations. Their smoked squid dish was a highlight, as well as the ravioli, but the real star was the smoked mackerel dip. We will definitely visit again on our next trip to Toronto.”

“Muy buena comida y precios solo deberian de hablar español se supone que es un restaurante mexicano!”

“Excellent experience! We were just coming to Gerrard to walk and came across this new place. Had Kashmiri and cardamom tea which were both the best we’ve had recently. We also had the hariyali chicken tikka and Dahi Puri-both very flavourful and we will be back with family and friends!”

“Planta, the vegan restaurant, exceeded all expectations during my recent dining experience. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that perfectly complemented the restaurant’s commitment to sustainability and plant-based cuisine. The menu at Planta is a true masterpiece, offering a wide array of innovative and flavorful dishes that cater to both vegans and non-vegans alike. The creativity and attention to detail in each dish are truly commendable. I started with their zesty avocado tartare, which was a burst of fresh flavors that left my taste buds. What truly sets Planta apart, though, is their commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing. Knowing that every ingredient on my plate was not only delicious but also environmentally conscious added an extra layer of satisfaction to my meal. The service at Planta was exceptional, with knowledgeable staff who were happy to answer any questions about the menu and offer recommendations. The wine list and cocktail menu were equally impressive, providing the perfect accompaniments to our meals.”

“Amazing food! Will be back!”

“La Bartola is one of the best vegan restaurant I’ve been in Toronto so far. The food and ingredients are perfectly cared for. Excellent quality and the staff is so nice! Amazing restaurant. 10 of 10”

“Amazing chef’s tasting and attentive staff!”

The ingredients used in composing the dishes had immaculate attention to detail as the plate presentation was exquisite and complimented the flavors very well. I strongly urge and recommend that you try this restaurant as it will take your taste buds on a journey that they have never gone before. Service and atmosphere were impeccable - location is cozy, quaint while the head chef & support staff are engaging and incredibly hospitable.”

“Harsh and Derek created a wonderful summerlicious menu. All items tried were tasty and complimented each other. Service was very attentive as well. The. Noise level was loud and made it difficult to speak to our friends sitting across from us. Perhaps the front of the restaurant is a better place for this. Thanks again for a wonderful outing.”

“I recently visited Hero Certified Burger and had an outstanding experience! The quality of the ingredients truly stood out. The burgers were juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. I appreciated the variety of options on the menu, catering to different tastes and dietary preferences, including vegetarian and gluten-free choices.

The customer service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff who made sure our order was just right. The restaurant was clean and had a welcoming atmosphere, making it a great spot for a casual meal with friends or family.

What impressed me the most was their commitment to using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, which made each bite delicious and satisfying.

I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and excellent service!”

“Chotto Matte is a must try. The food was absolutely amazing. The Amazonian salmon is a culinary masterpiece, the wagyu beef gyoza magnificent, the tempura shrimp were amazing with the sauce provided, while the spicy chicken karaage wasn’t great flavor wise the texture was a bit off putting it was perfectly crunchy on the outside but a bit slimy on the inside, the pineapple pomegranate duck breast was delicious - extremely flavorful, though we were not a fan of the pork and shrimp gyoza they eagerly replaced them with another wagyu beef gyoza. The service is outstanding. The wait staff and busser were extremely attentive, our water glasses didn’t stay empty long the moment they notices they refilled without prompting and finished plates were removed from the table.”

“Best French fine dining in the city . Excellent cuisine and service .... Attention to detail , formal and proper without being stuffy .... Haven't been this satisfied about dining in the city in a very long time . Lucie just does it right . Bravo”

“I was in search of a budget friendly omakase around town. This was the first place that was recommended by Google as well as my peers, thus I gave it a try.

For $100 dollars, it blew me away. The fish were good quality and I had nothing to be mad about. There was even a toro piece which is my personal favourite. They didn’t have any uni pieces when I went.

Interior was great and I had no complaints about the service. I would give this restaurant a 8.5/10!”

“From the open door to the table our experience at Enigma was wonderful. The wines and food courses were described in detail; in each case the taste surpassed their description. Our time at Enigma was meant to honour a birthday wish by experiencing a meal that my wife would "die for." I mean that term as she means it: Totally Wonderful. We will talk about this day at Enigma with our friends and family as one that we will cherish for years to come. Gary L McDonald”

“I came here with my friends to celebrate a birthday and they did not disappoint. The food was delicious. You can tell the chef put a lot of love, thought and attention to detail in each dish. Everything was fresh and the customer service was phenomenal. I would definitely come back!”

“good food. interesting western and Korean fusion”

“The food and service was excellent. I would recommend this restaurant for a large intimate event, such as a graduation.”

“This restaurant has an excellent reputation.”

“One of the best dining experience in Toronto. From excellent food to service. Highly recommended.”

“Great vibe. Food & drinks are wonderful”

“I have to request to refill the tea, and replace the dirty wet wipes. The waitress and waiter have to pay attention on these subtleties. Also, after finishing the dessert, I still have some sake in the glass. I went to washroom and intended to finish it when I back to my seat, but they have taken the glass away!”

“Ostaria Giula has the most amazing staff our server was Giancarlo he was super amaziOstaria Giulia hang with great recommendations. He was very knowledgeable about all the food and was able to suggest dishes for food allergies. I was so excited to go to our first Michelin star restaurant to celebrate a birthday and an anniversary. I was hoping to be able to meet Rob Rossi but I didn't just meet him, he was aware of our celebration and he took the time to come and great us .....I am a foodie so I was truly star struck. David Minicucci went above and beyond getting us a perfect table and ensuring we had a wonderful celebration. Thank you all at Ostaria Giulia from the chefs to servers and bar tender and the wonderful sommelier who suggested the perfect wine. We had an amazing time that I will remember forever. BRAVO!!!!!”

“very delicious,fast,friendly!”

“best burgers quick service takeout”

“Amazing fries and burgers I suggest to get the shacks classic”

“Amazing people,amazing food.”

“Great staff and great pizza to match. The variety of toppings on the menu is just right and they have all the basics to be a cult favorite

Picked up a medium sized Specialty Pizza to-go but was way too hungry to wait until I got home. Long story short, along my 20 minute walk, 6 slices were consumed unapologetically.

The ingredients were fresh. Brownie points for halal meats. Ihtesham, the guy running the show at the store, is an absolute gem. He took some time to chat with me about his story and ambitions for Cosmic. With the stuff theyre serving here, I'm sure this place has a place in Toronto's hall of fame.”

“rất đậm đà, ngon và Cách service rất friendly”

“The food looks and tastes excellent. The service was understandably rushed, and maybe a little too curt for my taste. The eating area was small and bit messy. The food more than made up for anything that was lacking. You should definitely add this to your list.”

“In one word...delicious The sad part.... difficult to find a parking”

“tacos 100% mexicanos verdadero sabor de taco alpastor directamente del trompo!! yo lo recomiendo para todos aquellos que extrañamos los tacos, tortas, gringas y aguas frescas naturales”

“Great spot amazing food !”

“Outstanding shawarma plate. As someone who’s on the quest to find the best shawarma plate in the GTA (from Whitby to Burlington) after trying around 50 shawarma places, I can confidently say this cracked my top 5. Cost was $25 for a large mixed plate, drink and fries but definitely worth it!!

Owners are really nice and truly remember you. Great place to eat in the city!”

“I recently tried the High Priest Burger Combo at Priest Burger, and it was fantastic! The burger was juicy and packed with flavor, and the special sauce added a perfect kick. The fresh toppings and soft bun made every bite delicious. The fries were crispy and well-seasoned, complementing the burger perfectly. The service was quick and friendly, ensuring a great overall experience. Definitely a must-try for burger lovers! Highly recommend!”
