Canadian Restaurants near York, ON

“Wspaniałe jedzenie, przemiła obsługa.“

“Incredible Jamaican vegan cuisine. I’ve wanted to try Ital food for a while but found it hard to get to some of these places. Decided to try out the new Line 5 LRT and this spot is next to the Keelesdale Station. Mainly a takeout spot but they allowed me to eat there because it wasn’t too busy. Loved the food!!“

“everything is beautiful 💜🥂🍾✝️“

“Great music and the party spot on a Friday, Saturday & Sunday night. it's my favorite club to be, great food, people and atmosphere 🔥💃😍🥰🥂🍾🍹❤🔥💙💙“

“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!“

“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.“

“The food, service, and drinks were all great! The only thing I’d suggest improving is the lighting. It’s a bit too bright, and the cool white light takes away from the atmosphere. Warmer, softer lighting would make the space feel much cozier!“

“I stoped into O'Grady's on Church while visiting the area for a work conference. The drag queens that performed were amazing, the wait staff were super friendly and attentive to my needs, and the drinks were outstanding. Overall an amazing experience that I'd recommend to everyone“

“My partner and I have been going to Actinolite every fall for the last few years to enjoy their garden patio and it never disappoints! The ambience is incredible and feels very intimate. It feels like you’re in a secret garden. The staff always make you feel very warm and welcomed. Their 5 course menu never disappoints and even better with their wine pairing. You never know what you get until you’re there but every dish is delightful and you can tell a lot of thought and love has been put into each dish. Absolutely love the whole concept and the bonfire during cooler weather is a cozy touch! Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Just awesome. Can’t wait to go again.“

“Raysa was fabulous!!! 10/10 !! Such amazing service, she was so helpful and knowledgeable when we asked her what we should order!! Also bonus: she’s absolutely stunning 😍 we cannot wait to come back to Earls because of her excellent service ❤“

“Wanted to try 20 Victoria for our anniversary after having an amazing experience celebrating our first anniversary at Hexgaon with Chef Rafa.

Service was great. Loved how most of the ingredients are sourced from Ontario. Appreciate that they focus on what is in season for each menu however, I felt like there were too many dishes with tomatoes which could be a hit or miss for some. Each course was unique and different from the previous. Was so excited to eat the milk bread again. Although I preferred the cultural diversity of each course at Hexgaon, I’m looking forward to seeing what Chef Rafa will do at 20 Victoria for the next years to come.

Loved the cozy warm lit environment and laid back music with kitchen noise in the background. Felt easy going and comfortable, like having a dinner party at a friend’s house.

Definitely would recommend to others and will be back soon.“

“This restaurant is outstanding, exceptional experience. Met the Manager named Brad, struck up a bond instantly, he was a host with flair, attention to detail, and ran a finely curated experience. The food was exceptionally good, be sure to try the grilled jerked chicken, coconut rice, mac pie, fritters, and of course... the Lickle Patties. Very tasty food, well presented and the hot pepper sauce is euphoric.“

“Ordered the huevos rancheros and it did not disappoint. This was a great stop on my brunch and bike ride tour I do once weekly through the summer. Great value for money. The front patio is quite nice and quaint. I enjoyed this neighbourhood staple.“

“Tried their afternoon tea pairing for a special occasion, and it was such a wonderful experience! Amazing food, beautiful ambience, and wonderful staff. Rahman and V were especially friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better.

I’m an afternoon tea enthusiast, and this was definitely one of my best experiences! Highly recommend. ☕✨“

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

“This is a very special place. You interact mostly with the students who are trying their very best to serve you with little prior experience. So a few mistakes can be made but it's wonderful to experience their efforts. The food is excellent as they are being supervised by very experienced teachers/chefs. I recently had their beet salad ..salmon and a dessert that I would rate a 10/10. I would encourage you to give it a try as I found it to be very refreshing.“

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

“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!)“

“Fantastic good - great team.“

“We stopped by Edulis on a Tuesday night after wandering around Leslieville and lucked into a table without much of a wait. The tasting portions were small but the mushroom toast alone made the trip worth it, so rich and earthy we ended up ordering a second round. Our server took real time explaining the menu and pacing the courses for us, which we appreciated since neither of us speaks much Spanish or French for the wine list. It's a cozy little spot, more of a house than a restaurant really, and exactly the kind of low key evening we look for after a full day of sightseeing.“

“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“

“A lovely modern bistro tucked away in Kensington Market and a great spot for a date night. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service was attentive throughout the meal.

We enjoyed the food. The mackerel crudo was clean, refreshing and nicely prepared. The chicken liver ravioli did not disappoint, especially when paired with the bread we ordered. We also shared the steak and had a strawberry dessert at the end.

Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and since they change the menu regularly, we would definitely come back to try more dishes in the future.“

“Authentic middle eastern flavours, tasty and fresh! The random shawarma place in Downtown K-town that is actually worth it to try! 🫶🏻
Surprisingly, they have very delicious pizzas well! 🍕
The shawarma with rice and shawarma wraps are super filling and absolutely delicious!

Of course, I had to drink Ayran with my meal! 🫶🏻“

“If you like delicious food, then this is the place, as well as for vegetarians there is a large selection.“

“We never have anything but amazing experiences at the Terra Restaurant. Our server Nino was amazing and made sure everything was perfect. See you soon!“

“Good food y Excellent service“

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

“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!“

“Staff were so execellent and give smiles to every customer. Happy to their exceptional service..“

“We had such a wonderful dining experience at Pickle Barrel! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The soup of the day (Butternut Squash) was warm, comforting, and full of flavor. The calamari was crispy and tender, and the NY striploin was juicy, perfectly cooked, and so flavorful. The lobster and shrimp linguine was another favorite — creamy, rich, and loaded with delicious seafood. Every dish was satisfying and beautifully prepared.

A special shoutout to Ate Leny for her excellent service! She was warm, friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel well taken care of throughout our meal. Her wonderful service made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Delicious food, great service, and such a lovely meal. We’ll definitely be coming back! ❤“

“Had a great time at canoe! Their tasting menu was great and the service was fast and attentive. We visited for our wedding anniversary and they put up flowers and personalized place cards for us :) and when we left they gave us the flowers and vase as a gift! I was very happy we celebrated here!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Go there and eat. You won’t regret it. !“

“Very good service and good!“

“by far my best dining experience! with the the best crews Ali and Bedu!“

“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!“

“Excellent breakfast open as early as 6am. Great value for the money.“

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

“Fantastic service and food was amazing! I had a steak salad chimichurri and the calamari and shrimp appetizer was fantastic. Great mojito spritz and cappuccino with the mile high mocha pie ice cream dessert!“

“A TEN course tasting menu in intimate surrounding with the chef preparing your food directly in front of you. Largely vegetarian with 2 fishs dishes...a scrumptious ceviche and a seared cod. A fantastic experience for all your senses ...and educational too!“

“Schnitzel and pretzels had been enjoyed before many times thanks to Uber Eats. ventured to the location today and was was impressed with the staff and the beer! solidly recommend The Alpine for Apres Hockey or ski or whatever. Hope to be back.“

“I recently dined at Local 1794 and had an exceptional experience from start to finish. Upon entering, I was immediately struck by the welcoming and pleasant atmosphere. The food was outstanding—flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared and the service was consistently attentive, professional, and on point throughout the meal. I highly recommend Local 1794 to anyone looking for fine quality dining and excellent hospitality.“

“I dropped by for my birthday on Sunday. I must say that I truly enjoyed my meal. The ribs were soft and full of flavor and the drinks were nice. Shout big out and Thank you to my server,Nia, his customer service was on par and excellent. Made sure that we got our meals on time and that everything was ok. I will definitely be visiting again.“

“Dinner and dessert in one place! Love all the meat pies and of course their award winning buttertarts. Highly recommended.“

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