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.“

“I LOVED the Drag Brunch with King and Lucy Flawless. Brought my mom and she’s equally obsessed. Please keep having them, they’re sooo talented and gorgeous. I had the Pico de gallo avocado toast and they had the french toast and they were both delicious. Amazing vibe, service, food, music, everything! Love you, O’Grady’s!“

“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!“

“Went last night with a group of 4. Usually I have to think how many stars I give. Not in this case.

This was the best dining and food experience we have had in a long time, The tasting menu was impeccable and incredibly delicious. From beginning to end there was not a single course that was not excellent. I can write abut the food courses but as they will change makes little sense. Let me tell you, it is wonderful mix between flavours.

The atmosphere, the service with the best server you can experience (shout out to Jessica) made the overall experience a 6 star but I only can give.

Will I be back, a million times yes.“

“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.“

“Last Visit - March 28, 2026 - Drive here from Fort Erie for special occasions. Always worth the visit! Great food, awesome staff, consistent quality from previous years. Really like being seated next to the glass windows at the front of the restaurant!“

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

“It is always a pleasure to come to the Chef's House and see the students at work preparing, plating and serving creative and delicious meals. I love being a part of the hustle and bustle of the open kitchen. Everything is always so nice!“

“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.“

“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!)“

“Wspaniałe jedzenie, przemiła obsługa.“

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

“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.“

“Had such a fabulous experience at JOEY Eaton Centre tonight. The food, drinks, and atmosphere were all great, but what really made the evening special was the service and overall vibe.

We ended up being served by a former colleague, and it turned into such a fun full-circle moment because both my friend and I used to work together with her at Jack Astor’s years ago. It made the experience feel really personal and welcoming.

The staff were friendly, attentive, and created such an easy, upbeat atmosphere from start to finish. You can tell the team genuinely works well together and enjoys what they do. We left in such a good mood and will definitely be back.“

“Wow i’m just shocked and surprised. 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.“

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

“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!“

“Overall the food was top notch and the service was excellent, but the fine dining scene is a bit outside my comfort zone.

A few weeks back I joined my colleagues for a winterlicious lunch at Canoe. It had been 10+ years since I had been to Canoe. For the uninitiated, Canoe is fine dining so the efficiency of the staff and care given to the experience is impressive. The restaurant is located on the 54th floor of the TD Centre tower, so we had a great view of the Toronto Harbourfront.

For my appetizer I ordered the artichoke soup with rosemary custard, carrot and crispy sunchokes. The soup was rich (but not too rich) and I loved the texture of the sunchokes.

My main was the Atlantic salmon with cauliflower, fennel and pernod cream sauce. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicately delicious. We ordered a side of bread after getting our mains, so my plate was returned very clean...

For dessert I had the chocolate tart with blood orange and cream cheese. I don't recall much blood orange flavours, but the berry and mint were a nice garnish. I knew this was going to be a rich dish, so I ordered an Americano to pair. I relished every bite of this tart, but it was too rich for some.“

“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! 🩵“

“Peter Pan is truly one of the best brunch spots in the city. 🌟
Especially as someone who doesn’t like eggs, I can honestly enjoy their dishes very comfortably, because there’s absolutely no unpleasant egg smell or taste.

The staff is also very kind and attentive. I really love this place.“

“Very good service and good!“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere, fun music and fantastic food and drinks. We shared the Alpine Board for Two, which probably could have fed three. Delicious. Oh... fantastic service to top it off.“

“I feel like it’s rare for restaurants to survive in Toronto as long as Grey Gardens has, but it’s so apparent to me now why it has.

This was a 10/10 dining experience for me, and pretty much the best I’ve had out in TO in a very long time. Just wow. The ambiance is so warm and inviting, the service is TOP notch, and the food is so damn delicious (we ordered a second tartare after we took one bite of the first one). Drinks were bomb too. We spent the entire ride home talking about how enjoyable and lovely our evening was. Thank you so much Grey Gardens! I will definitely be returning with many in tow!“

“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“

“Signature Restaurant, located right across from the The Royal Conservatory of Music and inside the Yorkville Royal Sonesta Hotel, offers a refined dining experience in the heart of Yorkville. The interior is upscale and elegant, creating a truly posh environment that feels perfect for a relaxed yet sophisticated meal.
The food is delicious and showcases Canadian cuisine beautifully. The burger, in particular, is a must-have. Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and satisfying. With great ambiance and quality dishes, it is a wonderful spot whether you are dining before a concert or simply enjoying an evening in the neighborhood.“

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

“Wow! Wood was one of the best restaurant experiences we have ever had. The service was exquisite and the food was fabulous. The staff went out of their way to create a special and magical night. Thank you!“

“Surprisingly the restaurant was slow and didn't have many patrons. Our service and the food were exceptional. We came because of a groupon and trying something new and we were pleasantly surprised! One of the best meals in a long time! Thank you!“

“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“

“The problem I have with this restaurant is: everything is excellent. I simply can’t choose a favourite. Shrimp tacos and wagyu dumplings are a must, the burger is always perfect… The schnitzel… and ALL OF THE DESSERTS. The dining room is timeless, the bar/patio is perfect on a nice day. Service is always wonderfully warm and kind. Intense wine list and lovely cocktails. Most absolutely recommend enjoying a meal here.“

“Had breakfast in the AM in the restaurant. Sat at the bar that night for happy hour. The eggs benny were excellent. Texture, sauce and egg poaching was perfect. Very tasty. The happy hour wings were large and cooked perfectly with a hint of spice - I had mild sauce on the side. Awesome wings. I followed with a pepperoni pizza. That was great too. The bar is your typical hotel bar and with a conference going on, the place gets a bit loud... but I am sure that it's not always like that. Wait and bar staff really friendly... I must say an enjoyable first visit to the place!“

“Great Bang Bang shrimp! Good atmosphere! Try the Side Launch beer“

“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“

“The 4 of us enjoyed the new Afternoon Tea at Azure very much. The quiet ambience (very few other people in the restaurant at 2:00 pm) made conversation easily audible. The server Coco was excellent, describing the offerings of tea and food. Complimentary prosecco and mocktail enhanced the beginning of the pleasant afternoon treat. The price was good value. Our only suggestion at the end was that mascarpone should be replaced by clotted cream for the scones.“
