- Todd Plummer
- Alo Restaurat. When the elevator doors open to reveal a sleek bronze bar in a stunningly restored heritage building on Queen and Spadina, you’ll swear you’re in London or New York.
- Scaramouche Restaurant Pasta Bar & Grill. Located on the first floor of a posh condo building in midtown near Casa Loma, this entry actually consists of two restaurants in one.
- Edulis. The husband-and-wife team behind Edulis makes eating at the King West locale feel like home. That is if your family dinner table consisted of a seasonal, five or seven-course tasting menu that could be customized to suit your tastes or dietary needs.
- Byblos. Byblos is an Eastern Mediterranean restaurant that embraces coastal influences with contemporary technique, on display within each family-style dish flying out of the kitchen.

Multiple locations
There are many Mexican restaurants scattered around Toronto, but no one does tacos better than Campechano. They recently expanded from their original King West taqueria and opened up a new, even cozier spot on College St. At both locations you'll find traditional, Mexico City-style tacos made with fresh-pressed corn tortillas. Like their colourful, inviting spaces, the menus are small and simple (Campechano literally means 'no fuss'), but flavours are bold and big. Each taco's component, from...
181 Bathurst St.
Tablecloths and cutlery may be absent, but you’ll find no shortage of soul at this atmospheric, quintessentially Toronto snack bar. What started as a food blog committed to popping the hood on the city’s under-the-radar culinary offerings is now a decade-old institution making some of Toronto’s most iconic dishes. Adrian Ravinsky and Dave Stewart can never take their spicy handrolls or the Eggplant Doubledown off the menu, but their experimental fare continues to tickle our taste buds. Crack...
364 Adelaide St. W.
Forget fancy garnishes and Jackson Pollock-esque squirts of molecular gastronomy: rustic, homey plates of lovingly made pasta are what we’re in the mood for 99 per cent of the time. Alida Solomon — who spent years cooking in Montalcino, Italy — has cultivated a stunning landmark in the form of Adelaide Street’s Tutti Matti (Italian for ‘we’re all mad’), where the focus is on simple food done exquisitely. Housemade pasta piled high with wild boar ragu and porchetta pizza fresh out of the wood-...
892 Queen St. W.
Not many best restaurant contenders can say they have a tuna melt on the menu, but that’s okay: Jen Agg has never been afraid to upset the status quo and Le Swan is yet another example of her doing things her own way — to delicious effect. On the surface, this is just an old school diner, but look closer and you’ll find a dual menu with French bistro faves like smoked trout rillette, sole meunière and steak frites on one side, and comforting classics featuring fish sticks, and pork chop with...
955 Gerrard St. E.
Once a spot for bar brawls, Maple Leaf Tavern has eschewed its down and out past, bringing class and a burgeoning restaurant scene to a previously unloved stretch of Gerrard St. E. Slip into a moody booth, order a manhattan and luxuriate in the effortlessly cool, speakeasy ambience at the Tavern. Seasonal salads and appetizers packed with locally sourced produce sit side by side with bold and flavourful wood-grilled meat dishes, like rib steak and their famous eponymous burger, meaning that e...
1214 Dundas St. W.
It may seem far too new to be on any best restaurants list, but GIA comes to us from the team behind Ufficio, with all of their expertise carried over to the new concept. Like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, GIA is everything we loved about Ufficio, transformed into a more sustainably-minded concept right in the same space. The plant-forward menu sees vegetables and mushrooms given the full treatment here, served as the stars of beautiful plates of pillowy, handmade, fresh pasta, dri...
80 Ossington Ave.
Back when Greek taverna-style restaurants felt a little gimmicky (styrofoam Ionic columns, giant murals of the Acropolis), Mamakas blew us all out of the sea with their refined, yet approachable homestyle cooking and not-in-your-face coastal atmosphere. At this Ossington hideaway, the Agean summer is endless even when it's negative-something and the outside air hurts your skin. The cuisine expertly balances the teachings of past generations while embracing modern touches for some truly remark...
2 Lakeview Ave.
No reservations, no signage, no phone number and barely any online presence — the food here is so good that this unmarked hole in the wall has relied on word of mouth alone for years, and still sees long wait times on weekends. Situated on a side street off Dundas near Dovercourt, Hanmoto doesn’t look like much from the outside, but stepping into this divey snack bar under the glowing red lights feels like you’ve been transported elsewhere. There’s a warmth and energy here — it’s the kind of...
488 Wellington St. W.
Marben was one of the city's first farm-to-table restaurants. Before that became a buzzword, this Wellington Street gem was sourcing ingredients locally and sustainably and turning them into exquisite, creative dishes year after year. When you walk into Marben, there is a sense of warmth and welcomeness that is sometimes hard to come by in this concrete jungle. Maybe it's the way diners' voices echo off the brick walls, or the sound of hot plates hitting the line in the open kitchen, or the l...
18 Duncan St.
Big lineups in Toronto aren’t always justified (dick waffles, we’re looking at you), but this is definitely not another fad. Pai opened its doors in 2014 and has been filling our bellies with northern Thai food worth waiting for ever since. PAI has been recognized by the Royal Thai Government, giving chef Nuit Regular’s authentic and love-filled dishes a well-deserved accreditation for authentic Thai food and ingredients. Enjoy khao soi, with beautifully braised short ribs; pad gra prow, a ho...
