Although there are a few Eggsmart locations around the GTA, trust me—this specific one is the best! The food is always fresh and hot, the service is super friendly, and it’s my go-to low-key breakfast spot to catch up with a friend.

Their grilled calamari appetizer is to die for! The wood-fired charcoal oven pizza is incredible, and all the desserts are made in-house. They also have a gorgeous summer patio that makes it a top Italian dinner pick in Toronto

A bit on the splurge side, but the culinary experience is worth every penny. Chef Susur Lee pairs flavor combinations you’d never expect (you HAVE to try the Singapore Slaw!). Perfect for a date night or girls' night out in Toronto
