1. Crown Princess Fine Dining
Toronto, ON M5S 3A5
Canada
(416) 923-8784
Category:
Dim Sum
Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, Downtown Core
I definitely felt like an out-of-place street urchin within the splendour and opulence that is Crown Princess Fine Dining. There are walls lined with onyx, a velveteen damask carpet, fine tablecloths (I'm used to plastic at dim sum), behemoth marble…More »
2. New Treasure
Toronto, ON M5G 1C6
Canada
(416) 977-3778
Category:
Dim Sum
Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, Downtown Core
This (literally) underground Chinese joint is my top pick for Dim Sum in the city. Great service, lots of seating, and good for groups. The plates are served scorchingly fresh and fast, and they pride themselves on having a lot of options. If you…More »
3. Future Bakery & Cafe
Toronto, ON M5S 1Y2
Canada
(416) 922-5875
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: The Annex
Great all-around café. Warm, student-friendly atmosphere invites you to stay a while. East-facing patio is great a great place for a beer (or two or three) in the summer. Cakes are top notch also; they sell out quickly so grab your favourite slice…More »
4. Prohibition Gastrohouse
Toronto, ON M4M 1G9
Canada
(416) 406-2669
Categories:
Pubs,
Gastropubs,
Sports Bars
Neighbourhood: Riverdale
I've always had a good time at this place. The food is decent and a cut above regular pub fare, and I have no compunction about getting totally sloshed here. The layout is a bit schizophrenic: restaurant to the right, expansive bar to the left, but…More »
5. Oliver & Bonacini
Fine dining in... Oakville Place? Ontario's Lamest Mall™ hosts this upscale resto by the brains behind Canoe. The vast interior is splendid and and includes a lounge and private dining room. I don't remember much about the food at all, except that it…More »
6. Biagio Ristorante
Toronto, ON M5C 1G9
Canada
(416) 366-4040
Category:
Italian
Neighbourhoods: St. Lawrence, Downtown Core
Classy ristorante on King St E. Enclosed in historic old town hall, Biagio has a really open and inviting dining room that would be great for a large party. I enjoyed the lobster bisque and a vegetarian pesto ravioli; both polished off in seconds. A…More »
7. Il Fornello
Toronto, ON M5H 3S6
Canada
(416) 977-2855
Category:
Italian
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
We were seated next to a wood pillar blooming with winter coats. My date had to sit sideways to avoid getting her face obscured with a parka. Without any prompting a hostess asked us if we'd like to move to a less crowded table stern-side. How sweet.…More »
8. The Queen And Beaver Public House
Toronto, ON M5G 1H1
Canada
(647) 347-2712
Categories:
Pubs,
Sports Bars
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
I returned and for brunch no less. Their full english breakfast is stellar and complete with beans, sausage, bacon, eggs your way, and something called fried bread. Avoid this bread lest you prefer your toast predipped in vegetable oil. Everything…More »

Impressive gastropub on Elm St. For starters, the patio is top-drawer. They happily accomodated… Read more »
9. Bocca On Baldwin
Toronto, ON M5T 1L2
Canada
(416) 348-0731
Category:
Italian
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Delightful Italian restaurant on Baldwin. Great patio with helpful if slightly aloof service. The place looks more expensive than it is, which is a nice surprise. I usually get the pizza here; its thin crust and there is an excellent selection of…More »
10. Wild Wing - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M5B
Canada
(416) 596-9464
Category:
Chicken Wings
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Kitchy wingporium with an obscene selection of wing flavours. There are 100 flavours of wings to choose from, ranging from traditional flavours to out-there selections like "Thai & Raspberry", "Mild and Maple", and one disturbingly called "Mystery."…More »
11. Sin & Redemption
Sin and Redemption is the upscale sister of the Village Idiot Pub. Located right next door, S and R offers a just as impressive beer selection with a focus on imports. Food attempts to be upscale but sadly disappoints. Lots of seating and a very…More »
12. Keg Steakhouse & Bar
Toronto, ON M5H 3R8
Canada
(416) 703-1773
Category:
Steakhouses
Neighbourhoods: Financial District, Downtown Core
My favourite of The Keg restaurants is located in the heart of the Financial District and as is to be expected, chock full of suits. If you like men that reek of fiscal prowess and cocaine, hit up Thursday nights: you'll have your pick. The decor is…More »
13. Mildred's Temple Kitchen
Toronto, ON M6K 3S3
Canada
(416) 588-5695
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Liberty Village
Helloooo Millie. What a gorgeous, airy and wondrous resto in Liberty Village. Named for a James M. Cain novel (or possibly the film), you can't visit here without noting the spectacular decor and furnishings. It was definitely a site for sore eyes…More »
14. Let's Wing It
Toronto, ON M5B 1T3
Canada
(416) 596-9464
Category:
Chicken Wings
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Being so focused on the task at hand I didn't notice that the giant glowing plastic coconut tree at the entrance was gone and that Wild Wings was no more. In its place was Let's Wing It; a decidedly less kitschy and less wing-focused joint. The wing…More »
15. Scallywags
Toronto, ON M4V 1K6
Canada
(416) 922-3737
Categories:
Pubs,
Restaurants
Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park
Scallywags is AAAAIGHT. I've been here a few times now for the infamous Yelp Board Game Events and they've always accomodated us graciously as we while away the evening surrounded by Scrabble, or Scattergories or Zombie Fluxx. (You must play the…More »
16. Duggan's Brewery - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M5C 2B1
Canada
(416) 214-4900
Categories:
Gastropubs,
Breweries,
Pubs
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
It's hard to pinpoint the favourite part of my last visit here. It's a toss up between when our waiter shouted accusatorily "it's women like you that made me this way" to Sarah L, and the moment he decided to start blaming me, personally, for every…More »
17. Cafe Crepe
Toronto, ON M5V 1Z7
Canada
(416) 260-1611
Categories:
Creperies,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
So I didn't get a stiff drink this time, but a few Stella Artoises were a great way to watch down my usual order: the chicken, egg, swiss and mayo crêpe (CESM). Delicious as usual.
I have to give them an extra point for handling our large and…More »

18. The Combine Eatery
Toronto, ON M4K 1N2
Canada
(416) 792-8088
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: The Danforth
I came out to the Danforth last night to try these legendary fish tacos with a busload of yelpers. Solid Mexican eats are a rare find in Toronto, so if when you find a place that even approximates the fresh and delicious flavours that one can find…More »
19. Bairrada Churrasqueira Grill
Toronto, ON M6H 1A7
Canada
(416) 539-8239
Categories:
Portuguese,
Barbeque
Neighbourhood: Dufferin Grove
After Kent P refused to shut up about the patio at Bairrada, I had to check it out. Everything you've heard is true: it rules. The patio is enormous, covered with picnic tables and well-shaded by towering trees. There is a large spit for roasting…More »
20. Marben
Six-thirty was kind of early for a dinner reservation I thought, but Marben is a fairly popular restaurant. As we checked our coats at the door I couldn't help but notice empty booths and tables in the seating area. "Good thing we made a…More »
21. Ascari Enoteca
Toronto, ON M4M
Canada

Categories:
Italian,
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
Opened by the the same folks who helm Table 17, Ascari Enoteca is Leslieville's entry into the Amazing Torontonian Enoteca Race. It's fitting then that it's christened for a famed Italian Formula One champion. The resto features racing iconography…More »
