A collection of my must eats every time I'm in Toronto as someone who has lived there for 10 years. These are the restaurants I've been to many times over the years and they all have amazing food, great ambiance, and good service (which I sadly feel ...
Map
All time favourite sandwiches, italian trio and mortadella are the absolute best, trust.
Lambo's Deli
My go-to for small bites, good drinks and great vibes. And one of the last affordable places lefttt fr.
Pennies
I've been coming here for YEEEEAAAARS, it's SO good, especially in the summer on the queen st patio! All of their juices are so fresh, all of the dishes so good, the real stars are definitely buffalo cauliflower, onion rings, and all of the bowls.
Fresh Kitchen + Juice Bar
Favourite Italian place in Toronto, hands down. Not only are all of the dishes amazing, the service is outstanding.
Sugo
Best Polish restaurant in Toronto, serving up massive portions, everything is soo good, my favourite comfort food.
Cafe Polonez
Favourite brunch spot in the city, everything is 10/10 but personal favourites are blueberry pancakes ofc, chicken and waffles, and the cheeseburger.
SCHOOL Restaurant
The best quick bite panini, perfect for taking it down to the water (or the island) or for a work lunch.
Nook
Hands down the best combo of a crisp diet coke, caesar salad, garlic bread and cheese pizza, every item is just SO good.
Danny's Pizza Tavern
I meeeeeeaaaannn… Best bbq in Toronto, and it's such a vibe during the summer on the pation with live music.
Cherry Street Bar-B-Que
My favourite bagel in Toronto, specifically “the liz”. Ideal for taking it down to the water or high park.
AM Bagel
The best iced latte in Toronto- my best kept not so secret secret.
Forget-Me-Not-Coffee: | Toronto Coffee Shop
The hype here is real tbh, my fave individual slices, can't go wrong they're all so good.
Pizzeria Badiali
Controversial, but the food, drinks, and vibes are always so good (at both ruby and liberty soho).
Ruby Soho
One of my favourite sushi spots, but definitley my favourite for takeout.
Kibo Sushi House
Favourite jerk chicken spot for a great price, always hits tbh.
Roywoods
The restaurant here is my go-to for a nicer dinner and good vibes. Love their patio and there's a photobooth downstairs. Plus they always have tons of events and the food is always great.
The Drake Hotel
Favourite deep dish pizza, always SO good, no notes.
Descendant Detroit Style Pizza
Big fan of the cesaroni sandwich (half caesar salad, half pepperoni pizza). I'm afraid the hype is real, though the price not so much.
Vilda's
One of my favourite breakfast places!!! They do savoury waffles, sweet waffles, sandwich waffles, and all in between. My usual is fully loaded waffles or breakfast benedict waffles.
Starving Artist - Waffles & Espresso
The blueberry pancakes truly are worth the hype, but they key is to get the chicken avocado club and get the blueberry pancakes as a side, IDEAL combo.
Mildred's Temple Kitchen
Best pizza for takeout, especially the ny cheese, though it can be inconsistent. But when it's good, oh it's SO good.
