Chef Bangerter’s truffle soup is our "must-have" at this charming, Old World restaurant.
Rub shoulders with the after-hours glitterati- this spot is open 24 hours. Must try after a night out: amazing truffle mac n’ cheese.
The steaks are some of the best we've had in the city... and so is the Jacobs Caesar salad, prepared tableside.
Tip: don't leave this restaurant without trying their divine crème brulée a la B52.
Make sure you try the oeufs en cocotte Diane (soft poached eggs in ramekins, truffles, Madeira sauce). It's a special treat you won't find anywhere else.
Ask for a seat by the window for a beautiful view, and order the lobster risotto. It's one of our favourite dishes on the menu.
If you're here for lunch, make sure to try the lobster clubhouse and don't hold back on the smoked cheddar, Canadian bacon and tarragon mayonnaise.
Say hello to Catherine, and tap into her unmatched knowledge on all things tea. A former sommelier from the Windsor Arms Hotel, she’s won numerous awards for her tea blends.
Don’t leave if there’s a lineup! We promise you'll have one of our favourite breakfasts in Leslieville if you're willing to wait.
Overlooking the hustle of Bay Street, this upscale bar attracts many suits after the workday. Ask about a “special vodka made in Texas."
We love the traditional fare at this French bistro, especially the moules marinière and confit de canard.
You simply must try their agnolotti di cinghiale with brown butter, cherries, greens & roasting jus.
This is not the place to order a beer- they make a perfect Manhattan. The crumble special of the day is always a must.
Mouth-watering must try: apple fritters with toffee caramel, cinnamon sour cream and pecan streusel.
This resto is chic and upscale with a friendly and welcoming undertone. Say hello to owners Sam and David, who offer some of the best service in the city with impeccable attention to detail.
We need to cast another vote for their steak frites- traditional, twice-fried frites and a perfectly done 8-oz. steak.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that this is in an alley. Celebrity chef Jamie Kennedy makes incredible food here. Spaghetti is best.
The best kept secret in Yorkville and the best authentic French experience to boot. Jacques Sorin and his family make every element important. In the summer the gazpacho is perfect.
A fabulous menu, but the true pinnacle is the dessert menu. The chocolate fondue is particularly amazing, and the marshmallows are homemade.
One of our favourite spots in Yorkville. Four separate dining spaces with four different experiences. Don’t leave without trying the carpaccio!
Tip: Pusateri’s offers concierge room service to residents of the Minto Tower at Bay and Yorkville- freshly made dishes, any meal. (Call 416-785-9100)
