The best gastranomic restaurants Ontario

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.

Established in 2019 just a stone's throw from Parliament, Aiana is a high-flying address under the leadership of chef Raghav Chaudhary. And this is not his first try, as he has worked in renowned restaurants in San Francisco and Europe. Here, he draws inspiration from Nordic, European and West Coast cuisines, all with a distinctly Canadian twist in a "farm-to-table" spirit. For those who can afford it, the 10-course menu is a must, and it's worth the extra cost for the wine pairing.

Perched on the ^38th floor of the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel, this high-flying restaurant is the first and only North American address of Michelin-starred chefs Alfonso and Ernesto Iaccarino. This fine Italian cuisine restaurant was awarded a Michelin star for the first ever edition in Toronto in 2022. Needless to say, the experience here is impeccable and decidedly gourmet, not to mention a breathtaking view of the city skyline , harbour and Lake Ontario. If you want to treat yourself, this is the place to come!

Nestled in a lovely house in Wellington Village, Stofa is the gourmet address of Chef Jason Sawision, who has worked at such high-profile restaurants as Atelier (Ottawa) and Canoe (Toronto), and won gold at the Canadian Culinary Championships in 2012 and 2016. Here, he offers a constantly changing five-course menu that draws from a variety of culinary traditions. Canadian products are in the spotlight, especially game, with ingredients from all over the world sprinkled in.

This restaurant at the Prince of Wales Hotel serves fine French-influenced cuisine. The chef creates his cuisine based on the availability and freshness of local produce, with a menu that varies with the seasons. The Victorian style dining room will immerse you in a royal atmosphere where you will enjoy delectable dishes and let yourself be served like a king for a moment. Tea service is available upon reservation daily from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm, as well as on certain evenings during Candlelight Tea.

Opened by the team behind the now-defunct Brothers Food & Wine, 20 Victoria offers a gastronomic experience in an intimate setting of about 20 seats. Chef Julie Hyde is at the helm of the kitchen, highlighting regional products from Ontario and the rest of the country, which vary according to season and arrival, with a clear preference for fish and seafood. The open kitchen allows you to see the team at work, all in a chic but no-frills setting. Reservations are required.

Toronto's renowned chef Lorenzo Loseto serves up a cuisine of unprecedented richness. The dishes are delicate and the food literally melts in your mouth. The explosion of flavours reaches its peak with the five, seven or ten course gourmet menu (vegetarian versions also available), which can be enhanced with a wine pairing for an experience that lives up to the reputation of the establishment. We have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant for a truly memorable dining experience.

The chef and his team prepare exceptional cuisine. The menu offers a limited choice, but the dishes on the menu are all succulent. The wine list offers the best wines of the region. An ice wine will perfectly accompany your dessert. For our part, we were tempted by the foie gras as a starter, as well as the Atlantic black cod and the AAA beef filet as main courses. The experience was memorable, we still have fond memories of it!

A member of Relais & Châteaux and awarded a Michelin star, the table of Ontario chef Patrick Kriss will delight the most gourmet among you. Among other things, he trained with starred chef Daniel Boulud in New York and in France with Régis Marcon and Troisgros. The cuisine is impeccable French gastronomy based on regional products. No à la carte menu, here you get the total gourmet experience with a tasting menu that is constantly renewed. Other establishments to discover: Alobar Yorkville and Aloette.

In the lobby, the women are dressed in fur and the doormen stand straight in front of the huge one. Inside the restaurant, it's like being in Mad Men. No doubt about it, you are in one of the most chic restaurants in Toronto. You can have lunch here without breaking the bank, and some of the brunch dishes are also affordable, so why deprive yourself? Come and enjoy a little luxury. This is the place to be. For an aperitif, we suggest the d|Bar next door, which is also run by Chef Boulud.

Ranked as one of enRoute's 2022 Best New Canadian Restaurants finalists, Perch is in a league of its own. Not only is it a high-flying dining experience without the attitude that usually goes with it, but it also relies on ethical and sustainable practices to showcase Canada's tasty gourmet products and avoid food waste. The open kitchen allows you to see Chef Justin Champagne and his brigade at work. A great experience!

One would rather think that one has stepped into a small neighborhood bistro. However, this gourmet address, opened by the couple Michael Caballo and Tobey Nemeth, thinks big. The menus are constantly changing, depending on the season and what's available, and are always offered in a fixed price formula. During truffle season, needless to say, the menu is worth its weight in gold. And everything is prepared on the spot, using products from the region or elsewhere in the country. Good deal: bottles at half price on Sunday lunch.

First of all, what a beautiful place: beautiful stone walls, a huge fireplace, the tables with their white tablecloths and a small bouquet of flowers placed on each one, the artworks, the subdued light... It's chic and classic. The chef and his brigade prepare a high-class cuisine that includes oysters, foie gras, lobster and AAA Angus Reserve beef. For a treat, the tasting menu is a must, varying according to the seasons and the arrivals. It goes without saying that the accompanying wine list is a pure gem.
