The best seafood restaurants Toronto

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. You can choose to enjoy your meal on the spot (a few tables are available) or to do your shopping on the store side. Please note that the menu is constantly changing, depending on the season and what is available. To taste Ontario, just look at the origin of the fish on the menu. Also, check out the tasty weekend brunch.

Located in the Distillery Historic District, Pure Spirits is first and foremost an oyster bar, which offers an impressive variety of oysters, depending on the availability (specials on oysters during the week, between 3 and 6 pm). But the other dishes on the menu are very good, and you won't feel any frustration when you have lunch with a yellowfin tuna poke bowl or dinner with a grilled octopus. If you are more "land" than "sea", they also offer succulent grilled meats, pasta, etc. Bonus: a large terrace to enjoy the beautiful days.

The sleek lines of this restaurant are neat and creative, as are the plates of Chef Michael Wilson. A host of details make all the difference here. First, the location, on the second floor of Toronto's iconic Bell Lightbox. Then there's the delicious cuisine, which is almost entirely dedicated to fish and seafood. The atmosphere, finally, which is festive during special events, or after a few drinks at the "Magic Hour", which offers cocktails at low prices. A nice address to treat yourself.

Voted one of the best new restaurants in the country by En Route magazine shortly after it opened a decade ago, The Chase offers a high-flying dining experience. On the slate are dishes to share, meat, fish and seafood, as well as large gourmet plates for two. Not surprisingly, a superb wine list accompanies it all. Nestled in the heart of the downtown skyline, its superb rooftop offers a more peaceful perspective on the urban frenzy.
