Canadian Restaurants in Toronto, ON

“Accommodated allergies and dietary restrictions without compromising flavour. Really inventive and delicious menu -- every dish was a standout. One of the best meals I've had in Toronto in a long time.“

“Had an absolutely wonderful dinner with family and friends. Really great service, very friendly staff, and delicious appetizers, mains, and dessert. Our server Krish treated us like family! What a treat!“

“Visited for the first time last weekend.

Every course was delicious, with mushrooms being the crown jewel for each of them.

The grilled squid was fantastic, grilled, crispy and smoky while also super perfectly tenderized.

The restaurant ambiance is much nicer than it looks on Google Maps.“

“This is my favourite place in the village. From the fun cocktails, to amazing food and amazing drag shows this place really has something for everyone. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you’re missing out. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend a visit. It will probably become your favourite hang out spot too.“

“Union is a nice and cozy restaurant. The cocktails we ordered (the magnolia spritz and the union martini) weren’t particularly strong. In fact, we were questioning whether they added any alcohol at all. But perhaps that’s our personal taste. The food, overall, was okay. We had the dry aged steak, fish, ribs and hen. Of the four, the fish was the tastiest dish. The hen was cooked well and the chalet sauce paired well with it. On the other hand, we were let down by the steak, which did not have any dry aged flavour whatsoever. Texturally, the ribs felt as they were cooked the day before and reheated, giving them somewhat of a stale and chewy feel. We also ordered three desserts: the orange chocolate tart, the cheesecake and the ginger cake with ice cream. I would strongly recommend the ginger cake and ice cream. The cake was sweet and fluffy and the contrast of heat and cold from the ice cream was lovely. The cheesecake was just okay but the tart was a disappointment; we left most of it on the plate. Overall, a decent experience with a couple of hits and misses.“

“We dined at SARA last week, and were extremely impressed with the amazing service, food, and atmosphere. The chopped salad was one of the best salads I've ever had!“

“We used to live in london where we ate at Earl’s quite often. I said that their burger was one of the best you could get. The quality and size was amazing.
We moved away almost 3 years ago and without one anywhere near us, it had been a while.
Went to Toronto Saturday and was excited for the burger BUT somewhere along the line it was swapped out. Far less quality of meat and maybe 40% of the meat it tasted nice was.
The lettuce was twice the thickness of the burger.
Sad to see, yet another example of “shrinkflation”. You have gotten larger as a chain and lost that “special” you were so proud of when you started out west. Too bad.“

“We had a bar table on a Saturday a couple of weeks ago (Oct 2025)and had an exceptional meal great choices and excellent wine pairings to go with the dishes we selected from the menu at a very reasonable price the same offering in Melbourne (we are Australian) would be at least 50% more. The staff were really accommodating to any requests and totally professional while being really approachable. We have secured a table in the dining room in December and we are looking forward to the set menu. A well earned star in the Michelin Guide keep it up folks.“

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

“The staff are extremely knowledgeable about every dish being served, explaining where the ingredients were locally sourced and how the in-house items are prepared.
The work they put into making and serving is unbelievable!
Highly recommended!,,“

“Loved the burger here! We had a great time dining here. The seats were really comfy. Would go again!“

“The food was fantastic! We made a reso for 15 people. Staff was friendly and accommodating and the food was unreal! The atmosphere was cost and comfortable. It wasn't too loud, and easy to talk to each other. I'll definitely be back!“

“Fantastic good - great team.“

“Speedy, friendly service and tasty drinks.“

“Fantastic food. Stephen was our server and was amazing. Don’t live in Toronto but will definitely eat here again next visit.“

“Food was delic! Service impeccable. Staff (esp. Esther and Michael) we’re both nothing short of perfect! Patio was warm and inviting. (PS watermelon cocktail 🍸- divine!)“

“We were there for the 5 course chef farm to table menu, but the place seemed slammed by Winterlicious reservations that were not expected, so the service was a bit off in that that they forgot our cocktails and then also one of our courses was severely delayed. There seemed to be a misconnect between the bar, the kitchen and service which was odd since the chef's menu and timing are not really up for interpretation. The tasting menu was nice, but I'd be interested to see if what their actual menu is like if we come back. Servers and host were excellent.“

“Went on a Monday when it was pretty quiet - good day to go IMO. Had a fantastic meal which was well cooked and presentation was great. Portion size was perfect. Left content. We had a Pinot with GB's collab with a winery in Niagara on the lake which was exceptional. Will definitely return. Forgot to ask how often the menu changes.“

“Probably the best service I've ever had at a restaurant. Our server Jocelyn V. was super friendly and engaging. We were very well taken care of! The seared salmon sushi is out of this world! I've been to many Joey's across Canada, but this one is the best!“

“Our reservation was promptly addressed when we arrived and presented ourselves. As we were invitingly ushered to our cubicle , which by the by was appropriately adorned in the colours of valentine, we were pleasantly impressed by the quality of noise reduction the alcove offered. Our host Ger displayed the courtesy that represented your boasts. The food, especially, mirrored your exquisite cuisine menus, and tasted divinely delectable Kudos to the manager and staff of the Yorkdale “Pickle Barrel.”“

I never knew this restaurant a very delicious food nice and affordable very cheap price with the high quality of Food, Employee and the Restaurant owner have excellent customer services, I would definitely recommend people to come and try this food. They have variety of options with a very reasonable price and also the restaurant is huge. You can bring your family nice and safe place.100% satisfied.“

“Excellent breakfast!“

“A very cosy uptown restaurant ! I have been several times over the years and it never disappoints. Was there again last night and have to say the veal scallopini was excellent. It was a tough choice as there are so many delicious things on the menu. The friendly and excellent service, food and ambiance was perfect. A big thank you to the staff for such an enjoyable evening. Look forward to going back sometime soon. Sue H“

“i think this might just be one of the best restaurants i have ever went to. great service and delitictable food. defitnatly try this place out.“

“Burgers were good, the French fries serving was pretty dismal, only half of the “large” size box was full.“

“Great spot in a prime location, with snug, cozy booths that make for a comfortable dining experience. The brunch menu is solid and well executed; while gluten-free options are somewhat limited, adding gluten-free bread would make it even better. Service was friendly and attentive, rounding out a very enjoyable visit.“

“Delicious every time! The seasonal menu is always a delight for the senses. I live two provinces away and we happened upon this gem of a place a couple of years ago. Yesterday, I had a layover in Toronto of around 12 hours. Took a terminal train, the up train, the subway and my feet all the way from Winnipeg to dine here. Scrumptious. Healthy. Leaves you feeling full without guilt! Two thumbs way up!“

“The best restaurant so peaceful & quiet place.All the staffs are so awesome.The foods are very good❤️❤️“

“Service was great, but for the money I would have expected the food quality to be a bit higher. We were there for the Valentine's Day prix fixe dinner, which was $250 per person. At that price, I expect flawless execution, but the lobster tail was very tough and overcooked, and the stuffed chicken wing was sort of spongy.“

“Amazing restaurant! As someone who loves seafood pasta, this was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. Everything was cooked perfectly—nothing was overdone. The tiramisu was also delicious.

The staff, service, and atmosphere were all excellent.

I’m already looking forward to coming back!“

“Excellent lunch in a lovely space with lovely staff. Wins the overall best meal in our stay so far!!“

“Everyone in our party of 8 thought the food and service here was amazing! Thank you so much for a wonderful dinner. We all thought it was delicious, and our server was fantastic. Would definitely recommend!“

“The experience is out of this world amazing for those like myself, who have the capability of seeing the world every single day! At this restaurant, you end up eating an entire meal, in nothing but COMPLETE DARKNESS! It’s absolutely AMAZING at how our bodies start to accommodate to our surroundings, once one of our normal senses, like seeing, is “cut off.” To be forced to speak to your partner, or friend, or family member without the distractions of every day things like other people, or traffic driving by, music in the background, or most importantly, ELECTRONICS, with how our world has become way to dependent on, was absolutely amazing! The whole experience took about two and a half hours, and it was AMAZING! I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend eating here, just for the experience alone! But in case you’re curious about the food, that too, was also AMAZING! When people usually can see the foods they’re about to eat, or are around, sometimes just the look of something might turn our minds off of the idea of eating something. This place, making you eat in complete darkness, also has “surprise” food options as well! My husband and I chose the “surprise” starters and deserts, but we chose our actual meal options, out of fear due to my picky eating. I was absolutely blown away at how delicious both of our meals tasted! 🤤 Definitely check them out if you ever get the chance! The whole experience, including the food and amazing staff, is beyond AMAZING! 🩵“

“Very good service and good!“

“Amazing! The food was incredible and the server was delightful!“

“been going there for many years .. it was good to go back after this lockdown. great job from everyone working there“

“Enjoy a refined beverage experience with expertly crafted drinks made from high-quality ingredients. Whether it’s a refreshing mocktail, a smooth cold coffee, a freshly squeezed juice, or a signature blend — every sip is balanced, rich, and made to perfection. Our drinks are chilled to the ideal temperature and presented with a premium finish for a truly elevated experience“

“first time trying this bbq place and we love it! favorite new place in the neighbourhood! come and try it!“

“My partner and I celebrated Valentine's Day at Grey Gardens and were extremely happy with the food and service. The staff were all very welcoming and knowledgeable. It was a set menu for the evening and each dish was served fresh and with care. The standout dish for us was the squid ink udon noodles with curry and lobster, simply divine! We would happily eat at Grey Gardens again.“

“fresh and delicious. best dressings and sauces...“

“Excellent customer service from the time we arrived from the hostess to our waitress to the food that we received everything was presented well big portions very well worth it very clean environment. The Marriott head great customer service even from the front desk the check-in, the gentleman at your door that opened up an assisted everyone getting in and out of their vehicles it was really really a great experience I look forward to coming back to the hotel again thank you for the wonderful service by everyone on the team“

“Had a wonderful anniversary dinner at King St. Social Kitchen! From the warm welcome at the door to the attentive service throughout, we felt so well taken care of. We enjoyed the prix fixe menu—fresh bread, tasty vegetable gyozas, delicious main entrees- the tofu steak and chicken supreme. Desserts were a highlight—the apple blossom and lemon sorbet were the perfect finish. Thank you for making our evening so special—we can't wait to return!“

“Had a really great time dining at Bymark, from the interior design to food and service, all top notch. Our server were always making sure we are well taken care of and the food was also awesome. The ambience was not that bad, just because we were sitting near to a big group so a bit loud but not really a big problem. Would totally come back again!“

“Work often brings me to Toronto’s DoubleTree, and over time I’ve gotten to know Hemispheres mixology-master Raffi. Always warm and welcoming, he makes every stay that much more enjoyable.

Raffi has a knack for creating cocktails that surprise and delight. Letting him choose is new fun adventure—I’ve tried drinks I never would have ordered myself, each perfectly paired with my meal.
And speaking of meals, the food is outstanding. Do yourself a favour and try the lamb shank!
Raffi truly makes time away from my family feel a little more like home. Thank you, Raffi and Hemispheres.“

“Dan was a great server when we were there recently for breakfast. All our food was exactly as we ordered it and was delicious. Highly recommend“
