Best Asian Food Restaurants in York

"When DaiLo opened in 2014, chef Nick Liu won over Toronto critics and residents alike with his one-of-a-kind French-inflected Chinese fare, landing the restaurant on “best of” lists both locally and nationally. While the menu is technically precise, Liu’s sense of humor also comes through with dishes such as the Big Mac bao, stuffed with beef, lettuce, potato frites, and, of course, a secret sauce. Wine has always played a key role in elevating the experience here, too, where a knowledgeable staff can help guide you to the perfect bottle to pair with smoked duck breast and chile onion jam."

"Not because it’s bad, but because it’s a gimmick and you know how it’s going to taste. Save your appetite for the menu’s wealth of creative and intricate flavor combinations — like chunks of watermelon fried in a wafer-thin batter and topped with pork floss, or Hakka wontons in brown butter. If dining in a group, absolutely save room for a whole trout that’s been filleted, fried, and reassembled on a platter with sweet, salty, and spicy dipping sauces."

"They serve up amazing French-Chinese fusion cuisine in a gorgeous Instagram-worthy restaurant in Little Italy. They switch up their menu every so often, but their Sweet & Sour Pork Hock and Truffle Fried Rice are both classic staples on the menu. You can also visit the smaller version of their restaurant, Little DaiLo, inside Assembly Chef’s Hall downtown, a food hall filled with upscale restaurants serving up a few of their best dishes!"

"Planta is one of those friendly vegan spots that can sway even your meat-loving friends. And it’s been a Toronto mainstay for years now. Aside from their beautiful plant-based dishes, the interior of Planta restaurants also wows, so no surprise that their patio situation is also on point."

"A post shared by PLANTA (@planta) on Jun 18, 2020 at 9:53am PDT. This place may just change your mind about vegan food!. With a completely plant-based menu, this upscale veg resto takes inspiration from all over the world with creations from local chef David Lee."

"As one of Toronto’s first Asian-style vegan restaurants, Buddha Vegan has been a top spot in the city for awhile.

A meal from here is sure to satisfy your every craving!"

"Come down to Buddha’s Vegetarian Restaurant to savour some Hong Kong style vegan and vegetarian food. This place has been serving up regional specialities like imitation duck since 1991, and they’re every bit as satisfying and delicious as the meat-filled counterparts. 666 Dundas St W | website"

"Buddha’s Vegan Restaurant has been around forever – since 1991!. They used to be Buddha’s Vegetarian, but they’ve always been a predominantly vegan establishment, so the name change reflects this better. It’s one of Toronto’s oldest vegan Asian restaurants and it’s beloved by many."

"Do not be fooled – this place serves so much more than just potatoes. In fact, I am pretty sure they don’t even have potatoes on the menu. Known mostly for their gargantuan dessert toast stacks, their dessert menu is extensive."

Founded in 1858, the 16,000-square-foot greenhouse inside Allan Gardens park is home to hundreds of plants from around the globe, including tropical orchids, palms, banana trees, and jade vine.

"Scoop Shopon Dundas West boasts natural, organic ingredients, sourced via connections with local farmers markets. Their daily ice cream flavours, waffle cones and cookies are all made from scratch on-site. While it’s a tiny shop, it makes up for little sitting space by being walking distance from Trinity Bellwoods, making it perfect for ice cream followed by a stroll in the park on a summer day."

"Simple is key at Punto Gelato, so much so that it’s in the name!. Focusing on traditional flavours and all-natural ingredients, the gelato is a winner at this Yorkville shop, offered up in cups or cones. More from Jennifer D'Agostino"

"Choose from a half container (500 grams) and a full bin (1 kg) of classic or specialty flavours, including Hazelnut, Tiramisù, and Stracciatella delivered right to your door."

"When the temperatures rise, nothing really beats the heat better than ice cream. And leave it to the insanely Instagrammable Sweet Jesus to satisfy your sweet tooth!. With multiple locations around Toronto (and a few others Canada wide) you’re never far from sinking your teeth into some amazing frozen creations – crazy cones, marvellous milkshakes, perfect pints (to take home) and even creative cakes for that special occasion."

"Having gained fame for its decorative and high-quality ingredients, Sweet Jesus is the staple dessert place for all of your sugar cravings. The cones are pleasing to the eye and Instagram, with soft-serve ice cream rolled in toppings of every color and pastel cotton candy poking out from cups.

"Enjoy the pink umbrellas in all their cuteness at Sugar Beach. It’s definitely prettier (and warmer lolz) during the spring and summer, but you can come here all year-round if you want to. It would even be cute in the snow and make for some unique shots, if you’re looking for Toronto winter photo spots!"

"Located in the heart of downtown Toronto, you can’t swim at Sugar Beach, but it’s a great spot to spend the day relaxing outside. With pink umbrellas and white wooden chairs, Sugar Beach has a whole vibe that simply screams summertime!"

"Why You Need To Go: With white sandy shores and pretty pink umbrellas, you'll feel like you're in a 1950s paradise here."

"What was once the Gibraltar Beach Sand Dunes is now a nice stretch of sandy shores between Centre Island and Hanlan’s Point on the Toronto Islands. This Blue Flag-certified beach is under the radar and is accessible from the main ferry to Centre Island or the Hanlan’s Point Ferry at the docks. The islands are actually connected, so you can walk from one to the other."

"One of Etobicoke’s greatest highlights is the lovely Marie Curtis Park East Beach, which connects to the Waterfront Trail and multiple walking trails and is adjacent to a small park. One of the few beaches in North America named after a female community leader (Marie Curtis was a favoured small-village mayor in the GTA), this beach boasts a beautiful shorefront that is perfect for watching the sunset. Blue Flag designation: No Facilities: splash pad, wading pool (closed), playground (closed), off-leash dog area, picnic areas, washrooms, parking lot, lifeguardsAddress: At Lakeshore Rd."

"In the farthest southwest corner of Toronto you will find Marie Curtis Park.

There is a playground, wading pool, public swimming beach, dog off-leash area, picnic spots, and walking trails including a connection to the Waterfront Trail."

"Marie Curtis Beach is a neighborhood beach that’s located off-the-path at the end of a residential street and attracts a local crowd. It’s near the Toronto-Mississauga border at the end of the Queen Streetcar line and, pay attention here, it is not safe for swimming. Why visit it then, you may ask?"
