15 Best Hotels in Toronto
"Fitting right into its location in the vibrant Queen Street West neighborhood, The Drake, which opened in 2004, has become a hub of Toronto art, design, and food. You’ll feel the energy the moment you walk into the former apartment building, where original granite floors, exposed brick, and other historical touches live alongside vivid murals, green leather seating, vintage stereos, and pieces from a rotating art collection. There's always something happening here, from DJs on the rooftop to live bands at Drake Underground, the hotel's performance space."

The Best Rooftop Patios in Toronto
"Lavelle is our top pick for rooftop patio spots for two reasons, day and night. With a chill lounge vibe at night and a rooftop pool party vibe during the day you can sip on tasty drinks from the top of King West with an incredible view of the fashion district from above. This spot caters more so to a mix of young professionals and mature business professionals, so expect a diverse yet classy crowd."

Toronto's best sushi places, from kaiseki to all-you-can-eat
"Miku pioneered aburi-style sushi in Canada — which, for the uninitiated, translates to 'flame-seared'. In practice, this means the fish is cooked over fire to create new textures and enhance flavour, searing it over binchotan (Japanese bamboo charcoal). The restaurant also has a signature secret sauce, known only by a handful of its chefs."

11 Best Restaurants In Toronto You Have To Try
"Perched down by the harbourfront, Miku is one of the best restaurants in Toronto for totally fresh and tasty Japanese cuisine. Although prices can be a little steeper than some other spots in the city, it’s well worth it for the quality of the food. Top tip: Make sure to try their sushi and sashimi selection."

21 Restaurants That Define Toronto Dining
"When DaiLo opened in 2014, chef Nick Liu won over Toronto critics and residents alike with his one-of-a-kind French-inflected Chinese fare, landing the restaurant on “best of” lists both locally and nationally. While the menu is technically precise, Liu’s sense of humor also comes through with dishes such as the Big Mac bao, stuffed with beef, lettuce, potato frites, and, of course, a secret sauce. Wine has always played a key role in elevating the experience here, too, where a knowledgeable staff can help guide you to the perfect bottle to pair with smoked duck breast and chile onion jam."
Mentioned by Eater
The 38 Best Restaurants in Toronto
"Not because it’s bad, but because it’s a gimmick and you know how it’s going to taste. Save your appetite for the menu’s wealth of creative and intricate flavor combinations — like chunks of watermelon fried in a wafer-thin batter and topped with pork floss, or Hakka wontons in brown butter. If dining in a group, absolutely save room for a whole trout that’s been filleted, fried, and reassembled on a platter with sweet, salty, and spicy dipping sauces."

8 Best Chinese Restaurants in Toronto You Need to Try
"They serve up amazing French-Chinese fusion cuisine in a gorgeous Instagram-worthy restaurant in Little Italy. They switch up their menu every so often, but their Sweet & Sour Pork Hock and Truffle Fried Rice are both classic staples on the menu. You can also visit the smaller version of their restaurant, Little DaiLo, inside Assembly Chef’s Hall downtown, a food hall filled with upscale restaurants serving up a few of their best dishes!"

21 Restaurants That Define Toronto Dining
"Boasting a sprawling, year-round patio, a custom mural that took three Mexican artists nearly 100 days to complete, and the city’s best margaritas, El Catrin is one of the city’s most impressive Mexican restaurants. The menu is a mix of crowd pleasers such as baja fish tacos and more original creations, such as braised short ribs with mole negro, corn puree, and wild mushrooms. Give yourself extra time to browse the restaurant’s menu of agave spirits — topping out at more than 120 different producers, it’s one of Toronto’s most diverse collections of mezcal and tequila."

Mentioned by Ultimate Ontario
The Best Bars in Toronto According to "Canada's 100 Best"
"A somewhat conventional “bar-esque” sounding name for a totally unconventional bar in Toronto. They apparently bill themselves as a “Japanese rockabilly bar,” and it’s not that far off to be honest. Most people that are coming from far and wide are coming to appreciate their hefty selection of Japanese whisky which, for those who have not tried it, is exceptional."

"What is it: This Japanese-Rockabilly bar embraces American nostalgia, British punk rock and the Land of the Rising Sun in one tidy joint. Step back into time while browsing tunes on the bar’s jukebox and sipping on Asian-inspired cocktails. Why go: To bask in vintage vibes, delicious drinks and a great selection of Japanese whisky and sake."

The small restaurant has limited seating, but once inside, their snack menu features delicious items like Bulgogi Cheesesteak, Steamed Bun, Spicy Scallion & Avocado Slaw for just $5. Our favourite dish is “The Loosey,” their take on the Big Mac, made with juicy short-rib, kimchee, processed cheese, pickles, mayo and ketchup on a sesame challah bun."

"Here’s a fun fact about Toronto – Kensington Market absolutely rocks, and it doesn’t hurt that El Rey calls Kensington home. In fact, strolling around Kensington made it to our list of the most fun activities in Toronto, and while you’re there, you might as well sip on some mezcal. If you’re looking for mezcal in Toronto, then look no further than El Rey."
