The first places I am going to eat at when Toronto opens up

Hanmoto
Izakaya restaurant · Trinity Bellwoods
Imanishi Japanese Kitchen
Japanese restaurant · Beaconsfield

Ed's Real Scoop
Ice cream shop · The Beach
When I feel really shitty, I go here, get an ice cream and then walk on the Boardwalk. It's quite lovely. They've got a few locations around the city but this one is the coolest because of the location.
Evergreen Brick Works
Park · Leaside-Bennington
Got married here. Highly recommend. Hikes and Saturday Farmer's Market are pretty great too.
Bandit Brewery
Brewpub · Old Toronto
It's just nice to be outside on their pretty patio drinking beer.
Superpoint
Temporarily Closed
Pizza and pasta. Food's pretty good but it's a vibe I enjoy.
Maker Pizza
Pizza restaurant · Kensington-Chinatown
Likely best take-home pizza in Toronto. Pretty expensive fwiw but I miss the food here.
Utopia Cafe & Grill
Restaurant · Palmerston–Little Italy
I just went here a lot growing up. Would eat a lot of burritos and nachos here. It's vegan too.
St. Lawrence Market (North Building)
Community center · Waterfront Communities-The Island
I live nearby and we get a lot of our groceries here. It's quite scenic and the people are cool. Probably best access to fresh fish in the city.
Bar Isabel
Spanish restaurant · Trinity Bellwoods
One of my old favourite places to go with Jo before they took all the good items off the menu. Someday I hope they'll bring the fried chicken, squid, and ceviche dishes back. But alas.
Robinson Bread
Bakery · Old Toronto
Sourdough here is crazy. IMO best in Toronto.
Giulietta
Italian restaurant · Old Toronto
Everyone has their own Italian places but this is my favourite. It's pretty fancy but I really enjoy it.

Blackbird Baking Co
Bakery · South Riverdale
This is one of my favourite places to get sourdough. They started in Kensington market and have expanded a bunch in the past few years. I prefer this one because I usually run by it.
Seven Lives - Tacos y Mariscos
Taco restaurant · Kensington-Chinatown
This is another Kensington tacos place but the line is usually ridiculous and the prices are a lot higher than they should be. Nonetheless, everyone in Toronto loves it.
El Trompo
Mexican restaurant · Kensington-Chinatown
The first Mexican restaurant in Toronto apparently. Actual Mexican food not made by some bros or marketing firm with crazy flavours. It's also pretty cost-effective.
