This is the Vietnamese fast food in town. At lunchtime, the diner is always full. Sandwiches filled with raw vegetables (carrots, cucumbers, etc.) are made with your choice of tofu, chicken, meatballs or even duck confit. We come here for a quick bite to eat on the spot or to take out. Small salads are sold at modest prices, a touch of lightness appreciable. Other Toronto branches: Yonge Street north of Eglinton, corner of Yonge and Gerrard Streets, and York University in North York.

On your way back from your shopping trip on Queen West Street, a stop at "Queen Mum", as it is known, is a highly frequented address for more than 40 years. The dishes are internationally inspired, with many specialties from Southeast Asia, the chef's homeland. Moreover, the menu prices will not empty your wallet. It may not be the latest trendy address, but it is a classic in the neighborhood and we highly recommend it. Bonus: a nice little terrace in the back on nice days.

The restaurant ONE relies on the deserved reputation of its chef and offers a cuisine whose quality and refinement are in line with its price: high. The atmosphere follows the trend of the moment in this upscale neighborhood, with a decoration that is both design and warm. All the trends in cuisine are represented, in a high-end version. If you can afford it, we recommend the steaks, including the famous 40-ounce (2.5-pound) Tomahawk, as well as tasty side dishes such as caviar, oysters and pan-fried foie gras.

One of our best addresses for a gourmet brunch any day of the week. If you like eggs Benedict, you'll be delighted with the dozen or so variations. The house also offers sandwiches for a meal on the go, tapas for the pleasure of sharing and more substantial dishes for big appetites, for example. The place is also famous for its cocktails and its nice list of alcohols of all kinds, which we take pleasure in savoring in the lounge. A very trendy address in The Annex.

This little place is an ode to fresh seafood. Half fish shop, half restaurant, the team helps itself directly to the sales counters to fill your plate.

From American cuisine that is fine enough.

Located inside the ECB and in front of the Movenpick market, this restaurant-bar, with its eye, with primary colours, comes a little from the ordinary. Just because we're not really used to so much color in Toronto.

NAMI was one of the first sushi and Japanese restaurants in the city and has since become a classic in Toronto. The framework is simple and clearly refers to the Land of the Rising Sun. In addition to combos, you will find a nice selection of sushi and sashimi à la carte, not to mention rolls and hand rolls and grills. For a more authentic experience, we suggest you take a seat at the Sushi Bar. The waiters usually greet your departure with a "Gochisosama Deshita! " (thanks for coming to eat).

It is said that the regulars come there for breakfast (a little expensive), drag up until lunch and then take a tour to be there just in time to have a table for the evening dinner.

The Sassafraz is a restaurant located in a pretty house in the Yorkville district and is a real invitation to indulge in gourmet delicacies. It serves a rather classical cuisine, mixing French traditions and Canadian novelties. In the summer, the terrace allows you to discreetly observe the comings and goings of the neighbourhood's regulars. Those who do not wish to dine here can always come for a drink in the late evening; the company of a good martini or one of the wines on the impressive menu is ideal. Reservation recommended in the evening.

Formerly known as the Rectory Café, The Riviera is the ideal place to take a gourmet break during a trip to the Toronto Islands (the restaurant is 500 meters from the ferry landing). The setting is simply enchanting and makes you want to take root there for a while, with a glass of wine or beer in hand, wedged in the cushions of the banquette in the dining room or on the large and magnificent terrace with a view on the lake. The menu is simple but effective (homemade chili, sandwiches and burgers, pasta, world flavors, etc.).
