Laylak Lebanese Cuisine Toronto

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

"This haute Lebanese spot offers a refreshing take on the classic power lunch. Toronto’s Financial District isn’t necessarily known as a bustling hot spot for anything other than over-priced restaurants catering to the expense-account set, but this elegant dining room offers up fresh, flavorful, and refined Mediterranean fare. The mohamarah (a stunning dip of fire-roasted red peppers, Aleppo pepper, and walnut) comes with a warm, pillowy pile of house made pita; robust mains are no less impressive, including the aromatic and hugely flavorful tenderloin of beef served with hummus and a succulent pomegranate glaze. There are also some great vegetarian options on offer, like warm halloumi cheese rolls and a stunning cauliflower tajin. The cherry on top? A wine list that emphasizes Lebanese varietals—solidifying this spot as a compelling reason to venture downtown for something new." - Todd Plummer
