Daphne
Warm, cozy and home made. That's how I feel whenever I dine at Maguro. Not the best high-class settings but you'll find comfort in their food, as well as a bit of lake view overlooking Lake Ontario.
Maguro House - Japanese Sushi restaurant
Amazing service, delicious food and their staff are so friendly. My favourite is their seafood platter.
Osteria Giulia
Looking for a place to spend on your anniversary? This may be the right choice (spoiler alert: that's what I did.). They serve classic French food and have a wide wine selection. Pretty vibrant vibe and perfect for a casual date.
Le Sélect Bistro
I love PAI and their rich Thai dishes. You may get in a long line due to their popularity.
PAI Northern Thai Kitchen | Home
Cactus Club has a business vibe to me. Since they're nestled right the heart of downtown Toronto, frequent diners are business, working professional. Pretty vibrant and serves great food. I particularly like their tacos.
Cactus Club Cafe Restaurant | Casual Dining
Another good spot for business dining. Their Italian food is creamy, rich and send me straight to a food coma.
Terroni
A truly elegant venue for South American cuisine. I love this place as a business dining spot or even a place to just enjoy good food and great ambience.
Leña Restaurante
This is not a formal setting type of restaurant but hot pot is one of my favourites. Lots of selections from meat, vegetarians, sauces and desserts to choose from.
Liuyishou Hotpot Downtown Toronto
Southeast Asian and French fusion by the famour Susur Lee. A high-end and chick restaurant that will satisfy your love for good food and dining ambience.
