Best Dinner Places to Eat in Mississauga

"Run by one of the city’s most prolific hotel groups, The Drake Hotel restaurant is one of the few hotel spots that boasts major culinary clout. Pre-pandemic, the property regularly hosted 86’ed Mondays, a monthly industry night founded by hospitality legend Ivy Knight that brought together local chefs for friendly, themed cooking competitions that the public could attend. While events are off the table for the moment, the hotel’s rooftop dining area (named one of the best in the world by Condé Nast Traveler) is still worth a visit to try one of the city’s top burgers and sip on a spritz while taking in the skyline views."
