Best Fine Dining in York

"Fine dining is at its best on The Chase’s stunning rooftop setting. Tucked in between soaring Financial District skyscrapers, The Chase’s indoor-outdoor bar and seating is the place to celebrate special occasions with refined French-Italian plates such as agnolotti pasta topped with zucchini crema, preserved tomato, pumpkin seed gremolata, and almond parmesan."

"When the crew at The Chase Fish & Oyster creates their seasonal menu they take inspiration from the Maritimes. The menu is packed with fresh seafood and is designed for sharing. The seafood theme makes its way into the décor, which can be described as beach house chic."

"This rooftop restaurant offers gluten-free, vegetarian-friendly and vegan options. The Chase serves gourmet French cuisine. Although it is at a higher price range than the rest of the restaurants it is a great place to eat from at least once."

"This vegan establishment has made a name for itself largely due to its team of creative, innovative chefs. Using their respective backgrounds, this group of restaurateurs is cooking up some of the most exciting vegan fare in the city. Expect dishes like artichoke barigoule ravioli and seedling salad with za’atar; porcini mushroom and cauliflower soup; and charcoal gnocchi."

"Avelo Restaurant, formerly called Awai, is an innovative, vegan, fine dining restaurant in Toronto. Avelo offers tasting menus in multiple courses (three, five, and eight courses) that continually rotate with the seasons. At the restaurant, they bake their own bread, make their own vinegars and preserves, and create their own vegan cheeses."

"A post shared by Avelo (@avelo.restaurant) on Sep 4, 2019 at 10:18am PDT. After whiling away the winter break, getting back to reality can be torture. Ease into the end of the holiday season with dinner at this charming vegan spot near Yonge and Bloor."

"We believe them, as they practice what they preach, using succulent ingredients that you don't need to be told are picked straight from the vine. Cafe Belong is designed to resemble a post-modern bar and has tall windows that allow for ample light to stream in, illuminating the wooden walls. Lunch, dinner and brunch each have their stars of the show, from gnocchi with brown buttered arugula in the winter to delicate slices of tomatoes making up a fresh caprese salad in the summer."

"If you ever go to the Evergreen Brickworks, make sure you stop by for a breakfast sandwich at Cafe Belong. You'll get a fresh buttermilk biscuit, eggs and herbs. It's fresh, it's flavourful and you can eat it right by a pond in one of the best..."

"Three years ago this long-standing Leslieville spot underwent quite the makeover. Now it has an elegant look and a pretty patio that while narrow, is an ideal spot to bring the kids for a meal that’s both relaxed and nice. Besides offering “upscale comfort food,” the Tavern also has a kids’ menu that looks delicious."

"Diana’s Seafood is one of the top seafood stores in the city, if you’re willing to take the trek east into Scarborough, and located right next door is the affiliated Oyster Bar. Offering lobster club sandwiches, clam chowders, grilled salmon, calamari, and, naturally, plenty of oysters, Diana’s also caters to hotels and restaurants throughout the Greater Toronto Area."

"Stratus, south of Niagara-on-the-Lake, is brilliant – the first building in Canada to earn LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) certification. The design addresses complex recycling, organic, energy-efficient and indigenous concerns. Your wine choice is less complex: Stratus White or Stratus Red."

"Located in the Annex area, Pauper's Pub is a classic neighboorhood pub, going strong since 1986. Spanning over three floors with ground floor main bar and a second floor lounge, the real cherry on the cake is up top: the seasonal Paupers Pub rooftop patio. A very relaxed and casual Toronto rooftop bar, simple in decor but with lovely views over the Toronto skyline."

"The Annex has this bar that's innovated with personalized winter cubbies, each with their own wind-resistant barrier and heater. Cuddle up at a picnic table and stuff yourself with some stick-to-your-ribs pub food."

"Distance from downtown: 53 minutes While not technically in Toronto, if you do find yourself chasing waterfalls in Hamilton, Collective Arts Brewing should be top of your list for refreshments. Founded on the principle that creativity brews great beer, this grassroots brewery fuses craft brewing with the aspiring talents of emerging artists and musicians. Each label is a unique work of art at Collective Arts, as is each beer."
