33 Best Restaurants in Toronto, From Québécois to Sushi | Condé Nast Traveler

"When you’re tired of the same old, same old, head to Quetzal—a sleek, contemporary space offering up sleek, contemporary Mexican. Quetzal is known for its excellent, high-quality fare that offers an authentic, modern take on Mexican cuisine. This is a crowd that appreciates details, such as house made salsas and perfectly-seasoned, slow-cooked lamb barbacoa. A stunning 24-foot open flame grill anchors the open kitchen, as well as a large, traditional comal oven for handmade, fresh tortillas. Seafoods are especially good here, such as the Bone Marrow & Wild Argentinian Shrimp drizzled in Padilla and Ontario wild flower honey glaze, or the Octopus glazed with corn miso—perfectly charred, delicate, and seasoned just right. The drinks list of Mexican-inflected cocktails and hard-to-find Mexican beers makes a beautiful complement to the menu’s bombastic flavors. Come here if you're looking to indulge in the best Mexican flavors you'll find in The Six." - Todd Plummer
