5️⃣ recommended restaurants in Toronto 🇨🇦
1️⃣ Canoe Restaurant and Bar
The greatest view in Toronto is from Canoe, which overlooks the magnificent skyline of Toronto stretching beyond the horizon, 🏙 with the CN Tower towering to one side and planes landing at City Airport to the other. Indeed, the quality of the food and real estate here are equal. Canoe's menu is a bold, unexpected, and simply delicious fusion of ingredients and flavors from all over Canada. Fine Ontario fruit and dairy, the flakiest fresh Pacific salmon, 🍣 and Quebec foie gras are all available.
2️⃣ Richmond Station
Despite being a neighborhood restaurant, Richmond Station manages to maintain its elegance. Additionally, despite the menu being quite limited, each item is well-considered, tasty, and modestly presented. Carl Heinrich, the winner of "Top Chef Canada," offers a tasting menu that is aptly named "Let us cook for you" if you're not sure where to begin. Just delicious food, no pretenses. 🤤
3️⃣ Sotto Sotto
Sotto Sotto's Italian cooking is flavorful and filling, but it may not impress food-lovers accustomed to more inventive menus—in some ways being at this restaurant is more important than eating at this restaurant. That said, the seafood risotto is amazing. 🦪🍤
4️⃣Chubby’s Jamaican Kitchen
The greatest Jamaican restaurant in Toronto is Chubby's. The coconut-crusted fish and excellent burgers 🍔 are here, but the star attraction is the four-day-ahead jerk chicken. After a full day in the brine, each bird is dry-rubbed, stuffed with scotch bonnet peppers, and allowed to air dry before being cooked on a grill over maple wood. 🪵 If at all possible, save room for dessert; the coconut cream pie with passion fruit is a great contrast to the warming spice rub.
5️⃣ Bar Raval 🥃🍻
Warm and lively Bar Raval is a favorite among Toronto's well-heeled foodies, who queue up for tables to sample its excellent tapas and pintxos. Grant van Gameren and Robin Goodfellow, the owners, did a good job if the dining room has a Barcelona air to it.
