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

"A neighborhood restaurant that still manages to be elegant, it features a giant circular window that lets in natural light during the day and creates a buzzy glow at night. The space is fitted with dark wood floors, a row of sleek banquettes, and a showstopper of a bar. And although the menu is on the shorter side, all of the dishes are thoughtful, flavorful, and unpretentious. If you're unsure where to start, the tasting menu from “Top Chef Canada” winner Carl Heinrich—humbly billed as "Let us cook for you"—is a good choice. Be sure to ask for the chilled asparagus soup and the slow-cooked black cod, which is served with coco blanco beans, red pepper rouille, sourdough, and tomato salsa. No pretenses—just good food." - Todd Plummer
