Best of the Best: Must try restaurants in Toronto
See All Lists
1. Ruby Watchco
I'm speechless. And in the most delightful food coma - can one get drunk on food? Ruby Watchco might be one of the most pleasing dining experiences I've ever had. Why? The food is just made with love. The place oozes a calm, confident generosity…More »
2. Avli Restaurant
Toronto, ON M4K 1P1
(416) 461-9577
Categories:
Greek,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhoods: Greektown, Riverdale
I've been going to Avli for years and am convinced it is the best Greek restaurant on the Danforth. The food is uniformly terrific and Lambros, the chef/owner, is a kind and generous host who welcomes his guests like family.
There are lots of…More »
3. 93 Harbord
How can this restaurant not yet have a 5-star rating? In my opinion, 93 Harbord represents the best of the city: unpretentious, great service and absolutely delicious food - all for reasonable prices.
I go to 93 Harbord whenever I want a special…More »
4. Tabule Restaurant
Toronto, ON M4S 1Z8
(416) 483-3747
Categories:
Middle Eastern,
Vegan,
Vegetarian
Neighbourhood: Hogg's Hollow
Last night I went to Tabule with my mom, step-dad, husband and sister. The place was utterly slammed. Because it's a small restaurant, there wasn't much room for those of us waiting for tables to stand and wait, which meant servers had to squeeze…More »

Toronto, ON M6G 1L7

Category:
Indian
Neighbourhoods: Christie Pits, Bickford Park
Banjara is a freakin' Christie Pitts miracle. I am a regular there and I can vouch for its consistency and total deliciousness.
Here's my top ten list for what makes Banjara great:
10. It's cleaned up the neighbourhood. That store used to be a…More »
6. Akai Sushi
It pains me to write this update, but our last experience at Akai was so disappointing that I think it's only fair.
I have to reframe my comments about this restaurant to say that when Akai is not busy, it's a great place to go. But a couple of…More »

Okay, Akai, you've convinced me. I was skeptical at first with those sweet little water fountains… Read more »
7. Big Ragu
They say hunger is the best sauce, so take this in the spirit of the famished post-moving day spirit my family and I were in tonight.
We headed over to the Big Ragu because my brother-in-law just moved into the neighbourhood. I was skeptical, due to…More »
8. La Paloma Gelateria & Cafe
Vegans! Lactards! Diabetics! Do I have a treat for you...
Not only does this place have amazing regular gelato in a bazillion different flavours (see all the reviews before this one), but they have at least three flavours of soy-based, sugar free…More »
