Canadian Restaurants near Wellesley, ON

“Was recommended this place when I mentioned I had to pick something up in Wellesley. Quaint spot, delicious baked goods!“

“staff is 100% and very good food but last night I ordered fries instead of mashed potatoes with my pigtails and I got potatoes but it was still good but I would prefer getting what I ordered and also another person on our table got mashed potatoes instead of fries too and ordered fries🙃“

“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.“

“Our server, Amy was very polite & pleasant and we enjoyed our meal.“

“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.“

“In a restaurant world dressed up with disingenuous marketing JOEY Yorkdale offers you a magnificent spot outside downtown Toronto that delivers what it promises on their home page, “Our guests, new or old, are not treated just as guests, but as if they are a good friend we are catching up with.” And this was the experience for me and my two close chums who selected this spot primarily because it was the midpoint between our diverse locations. From first arriving, the hostess took the time to offer a complimentary champagne glass and inquire if our visit that day was for a special occasion. It was a reunion and she graciously followed up with pleasant comments establishing a charming mood. When the waitress came to greet us, she also took the time to find out more about the nature of our reunion and only then flawlessly delved into the menu. I understand this is common practice at luxury restaurants; however, I would contend that, although there are dining establishments that treat patrons similarly, it is not simply about what you do but, rather, how well you do it. And this is the reason I am taking the time to write this review: JOEY does it very well. Having frequented several luxury restaurants in downtown Toronto I can anecdotally share with you that there have been far too many occasions when the host and/or server left a poor impression. Whether it is conceited complacency in their brand or even our own bigotry of unrealistic expectations, there seldom is a meeting point of both food, service, and overall impression. The treatment at JOEY was so genuine that it left an indelible impression. Each interaction with the server and hostess throughout complemented our dining experience. We were then surprised with dessert on the house presented on an expansive serving plate with the words “Happy Reunion!” written in caramel. Delicious, delicious caramel. Mmmm, but I digress… Over the years I have written to restaurants far more complaints than compliments and, in retrospect, this is unfair. It takes a team and a culture to create this magic and it can be quite challenging to get it right. When it comes together as well as it did on our visit, it is the sort of joy that can accompany you throughout your day. At JOEY they seem to have captured the right formula and I look forward to returning and catching up with “good friends” that understand that going out to eat today is about so much more.“

“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!“

“Speedy, friendly service and tasty drinks.“

“Fantastic good - great team.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Joey is our go-to place for special occasions in our family. The food is always amazing no matter the location, the servings are generous, and the staff and servers are friendly without being intrusive. I really liked their high chair for little babies. It was the type that attaches to the table — it was perfect for our 10 month old!“

“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.”“

“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.“

“Wspaniałe jedzenie, przemiła obsługa.“

“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.“

“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“

“Not truly wheelchair accessible. I was very much looking forward to dining here. After reading some of the other comments in the question section, we called to confirm the extent to which they are wheelchair accessible. Utterly disappointed to find out that although they have a ramp, the only accessible dining areas are if you're with one of the large groups. Meaning that as an individual with accessibility needs, I was excluded from dining at this restaurant. My accessibility needs are temporary, however you can guarantee I won't be dining at this restaurant even when I'm able to walk again, until they rectify this situation. Inexcusable to exclude people with mobility needs in this day and age.“

“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❤️❤️“

“My friend and I come to Sedaghat Restaurant a couple of nights every month, and honestly, we love it here. The owner is such a kind, warm-hearted person who truly cares about the customers — you can feel it in the whole vibe of the place.

The food? Always amazing. The taste, the quality, the portions — all top notch. And the prices are super reasonable too, which is a big plus these days!

I’ve been to this restaurant several times now and just had to leave a review to say thank you — especially for your incredible black tea. It’s seriously the best. Keep doing what you do!“

“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!!“

“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! 🩵“

“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!“

“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!“

“Very good service and good!“

“Great food new menu and flavour is bang on. Ihave tried aleast half or more or the new menu. Same atmosphere as 15 plus years ago!!!“

“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.“

“Felt like a wonderful home made meal. Warm, hearty vegan platter which was great value! Not to mention delicious.The owner was a sweet and gentle man, felt like he was truly concerned with our well being. One note is to move away from styrofoam but otherwise just amazing! Highly recommend as this is one of the best vegan places I've been to!

Vegetarian options: Everything is vegan“

“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.“

“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“
