Fifty Best Toronto Restaurants

|
OPUS
French/Continental
Set in an elegant Yorkville townhouse that sets a very high standard of excellence for its health-conscious menu and skilled service. For Opus, "wine is as important as food", something to be taken seriously. The fresh cut flowers, original R.C. Gorman's and Erte's, artistic wine displays and soft lighting, combine to create a beautiful setting. The kitchen is noted for perfectly grilled meat, fish and fowl; tantalizing pastas and risottos, adventurous vegetables, and inventive desserts.
37 Prince Arthur Ave. (416) 921-3105

LOIRE
French
It's hard to find anything negative about Loire, the authentic French restaurant on Harbord Street. Partners Jean-Charles Dupoire, the chef, and Sylvain Brissonnet, the sommelier, hale from the Loire Valley where they grew up together and took an oath to one day have a restaurant of their own. France may have shaped their culinary passions, but Canada is the source of much inspiration. Ontario Trout and potatoes, as well as seafood from P.E.I. are featured in several of the mainly traditional French dishes. Confit Duck Leg & Muscovy Duck Magret served with a homestyle gruyère gratin is pure French comfort food in all its fatty glory. The wine list offers European selections of French, Italian and Spanish wines, many moderately priced by the glass, with a few local numbers thrown in for good measure. The atmosphere is bustling, but not overwhelming. Well-executed continental service and French tunes overhead lend authenticity to the modern bistro environment.
119 Harbord Street (416) 850-8330

BODEGA
French
Two Victorian houses is the perfect airy, romantic setting. Glowing with its high ceiling, Victorian woodwork, bright windows, cosy fireplace and tree-lined summer patio. Intimate and elegant--- so French in decor and with its famous regional dishes--- with the inimitable casual elegance and ambience that can evoke Paris in a plate of cassoulet. The classically hearty dishes, matched by a great wine list with a Bordeaux emphasis, are there, but driven by a light health conscious cooking style that stresses fresh-market cuisine.
30 Baldwin Street (416) 977-1287

ICI
French Bistro
Ici was immediately a hit with its innovative take on traditional French cuisine. As the latest incarnation of well known Toronto chef JP Challet, where he goes those who love food follow. Seating 24 at best, offers a good view of the open kitchen where staff turns out sublime Lobster Bisque topped with salmon quenelle, or Foie Gras with a side of baked figs. Definitely leave room for the Gran Marnier Soufflé. Staff is attentive and knowledgeable. There is a well priced wine selection by the glass or bottle.
538 Manning Ave. (at Harbord St.)
(416) 536-0079

AUBERGE DU POMMIER
French
Exceptionally peaceful "country-in-the-city" atmosphere, perfect for romantic and special occasions. Two restored century-old cottages with fireplaces, wooden-beam ceilings, terrace with a stone fountain and flower-filled garden.The French cuisine moderne is pure poetry. For appetizers try a light mousse of smoked trout, poppy-seed pastry, or crabmeat remoulade. Main courses include fowl, venison, fresh caught fish and seasonal shellfish. Desserts are sybaritic. Attentive service. Substantial, yet reasonable wine list.
4150 Yonge Street (416) 222-2220

Sushi Inn in Yorkville. Amazing service, great quality seafood, outstanding prices and the sake is always hot. Not the fanciest but I've had a lot worse sushi for a lot bigger price tag.

Looking for a new Italian restaurant in Cabbagetown? Formerly the old Piccolo, Plum 226 has undergone renovations and now provides Cabbagetown with a fantastic casual fine dining expereince. Food and wine priced reasonably, entrees between $13-$30, wines by the glass between $7-$11 and bottles starting at $28. They also have a lounge hosting live music and entertainment, most free events - no cover. A great place to enjoy a relaxing or romantic dinner.

Ruth's Chris is without a doubt one of the world's best steakhouses. I recommend it without reservation.

The Wine Bar at 9 church street in Toronto fits your criteria. Food is amazing and the wine list is huge and eclectic, which I love.

I have dined at Oro a few times. It is one of my favorite in the city. From the time you enter to the time you say "fare well", this establishment makes you feel "special." The food, the ambiance and the service is impeccable. Definitely a place that makes a lasting impression!

I have dined at Allen's only once, and will never go back - even though I live around the corner. The food was decent, however, the concierge quite was rude. Even after ordering a few rounds of drinks, appetizers and dinners, our table was asked to leave because we were there "too long" and the table was needed. We were there "just over an hour." We are middled aged people, not a rowdy bunch of kids! My table was not impressed.

Zin Restaurant @ Yorkville is a newly opened chinese cuisine. I have been there once and they have a very good wine selection plus very good food. I found them because I saw the review from Joanne Kates of the Global & Mail.

I was disappointed to see that Vanipha Lanna is not included in your list They have amazing food. I have mixed feelings about posting this comment because I like being able to go there without a reservation and I wouldn't want it to become too popular....
