Restaurants in foodie destinations | Destination Ontario

Toronto

From Chinatown to Greektown, Little India to Little Italy and Kensington Market to St. Lawrence Market, Toronto is a multicultural city with a smorgasbord of flavours.

Restaurants in Toronto frequently feature in the top ten list of Canada’s 100 Best, the definitive guide to everything food-related from across the country. And with the first edition of the esteemed MICHELIN Guide in Toronto recently released, this city’s foodie scene just got even more exciting. 

A few suggestions to start off with are:

Alo

Alo is a sleek MICHELIN-starred, downtown French restaurant and cocktail bar with a refined tasting menu. From on-point décor to each carefully crafted dish and drink, this is a foodie’s must.

Location: 163 Spadina Avenue, Toronto

Giulietta

Located in Toronto’s much-loved Little Italy neighbourhood on College Street, Giulietta has a lot to celebrate. Top Chef Canada runner-up Rob Rossi’s simple and authentic Italian menu also ranked number five in En Route Magazine’s best new restaurants list.

Location: 972 College Street, Toronto

Buca

A member of the Buca family of upscale eateries, Buca Osteria & Bar made the cut for their signature coastal Italian cuisine. Tucked away in the Four Seasons Courtyard in the swanky Yorkville neighbourhood, this is a bucket-list spot for seafood lovers.

Edulis

This intimate bistro in the city’s Fashion District takes an unpretentious approach to upscale Canadian fare, using seasonal, wild and foraged ingredients to prepare five or seven-course chef’s tasting menus.
