The 38 Best Restaurants in Toronto, Canada
"Open for: Lunch and dinner Price range: $$$ Housed inside the former Toronto Stock Exchange building, this splashy steakhouse is unabashedly over-the-top with its soaring library wall of spirits, multi-million dollar meat locker (including Japanese A5 wagyu), and cushy banquette dining. Egyptian restaurateur Emad Yacoub, who runs a meticulous roster of venues in Vancouver and Toronto, has come a long way since earning $4 per hour when he first landed in Canada. He spared no expense at Black & Blue, spending millions on the space and bringing on chef Morgan Bellis to offer showy, table-side Caesar salads, hand-cut beef Wellington, eyebrow-singeing flambees, and splashy seafood towers. Best for: Steakhouses can be expensive, but Black and Blue’s weekday lunch prix fixe (main course with either an appetizer or a dessert) goes for just $48 Canadian." - Tiffany Leigh
