Restaurants in Toronto

Toronto's only two-Michelin-star sushi counter, Sushi Masaki Saito delivers edomae omakase at a level unmatched anywhere in Canada. Chef Masaki Saito's access to Japanese fish and product is genuinely without peer in the country. Book months ahead — this is near-impossible to secure — and only if omakase is a format you already know you want.

Edulis is a Michelin-starred, tasting menu-only room on Niagara Street that delivers classical Mediterranean-influenced cooking — with a seafood focus — in an intimate, unhurried setting. Ranked #79 in North America by Opinionated About Dining (2025) and scoring 94 points in La Liste 2026, it earns its $$$$ price tier through precision and warmth rather than formality. Book hard in advance; Sunday lunch is the format to prioritise.

Alo is Canada's most-decorated restaurant and, approaching its 10th anniversary, still the hardest table in Toronto to get. A 10-course tasting menu merging French and Japanese technique, a sommelier-led wine program, and a World's 50 Best placement make the $$$$ price point defensible. Book the chef's counter and take the wine pairing. Reserve weeks in advance.

Thirty years into its run, Canoe remains the clearest argument for what contemporary Canadian cooking can be at the top of the market. On the 54th floor of the TD Bank Tower, the kitchen works a seasonally driven menu anchored in Canadian terroir — farmed, foraged, fished — while the room delivers panoramic views of Toronto and Lake Ontario that few dining rooms in the country can match.

Don Alfonso 1890 holds a Michelin Star and the designation of number-one Italian restaurant in the world outside Italy, operating from the 38th floor of The Westin with views over Lake Ontario. Chef Davide Ciavattella's eight-course tasting menu draws directly from the Amalfi Coast original, and the 980-selection wine list is one of the deepest in the city. Book four to six weeks out for weekends — demand is sustained year-round.

Osteria Giulia is Toronto's most credible Italian fine dining option right now: a Michelin star, a focused Ligurian menu, and a service standard that holds up at the $$$$ price tier. Book three to four weeks out minimum — this is a hard reservation. Chef Rob Rossi's coastal Italian cooking rewards the full commitment: anchovy starters, pasta, vitello tonnato, and a deep Italian wine list.

Toronto's most serious dry-aging program, now housed in a purpose-built room at CIBC Square with a piano bar and a 1,175-selection wine list. Michelin Plate (2025). Best for business dinners and special occasions at the $$$$ tier. Book three to four weeks out; weekday lunch is a rare option at this price level.
