Top Best Chinese Restaurants in Markham

"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."

"Running on the philosophy that eating well is a significant aspect of living well, DaiLo is a New Asian Cuisine restaurant in Little Italy of Toronto. Ensuring that the diners get to taste their genuine and true culture and traditions, DaiLo has plenty to offer in terms of authenticity. Apart from following their ancient heritage, the restaurant also hides some French twist in their methodologies and flavors that the ancestors of Chef Nick Liu have been indulging in for hundreds of years."

"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!"

"Take the "a" off of "Planta" and you will realize what this restaurant is all about (and it's not the hokey pokey). Marketed as plant-based cuisine rather than vegan, this fresh and airy restaurant specializes in delicious food from around the globe that any meat-eater would be proud to chomp. Planta burgers have queso, pickles, buffalo aioli and spiced fries."

"This new venture restaurant by the same creators of Planta Yorkville features amazing Asian-fusion menu from Chef David Lee. A sleek, sexy and sophisticated atmosphere make this one of Toronto’s hottest restaurants right now, and the sensory and flavour overload all worth it for the gram!. https://www.instagram.com/p/ByQtYKbBHmq/?"

"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."

"For those who are looking for a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere to relish some delectable dishes, Pearl Court happens to be one of the most amazing Chinese restaurants in Toronto. Earning its place in the hearts of locals in Toronto, Pearl Court serves an impeccable menu consisting of fresh seafood and traditional food. Giving diners an opportunity to experience the true Chinese vibes, Pearl Court is that restaurant that is not only recommended by brand-loyal but also many famous bloggers and magazines such as Chinese Restaurant News, The Oriental Gourmet, Ming Pao Newspaper, and many more."

"For over three decades, Pearl has served up award-winning dim sum against the backdrop of Lake Ontario, and it continues to attract regulars from every corner of this massive city. Tourists, young professionals, local foodies, and die-hard dim sum critics alike hail Pearl as the place to go—what could be better than food with views?. —but they love the lively atmosphere, too."

"Situated on Toronto’s Waterfront, Pearl Harbourfront Chinese Cuisine have been impressing patrons with their menu of authentic Cantonese food and award-winning selection of dim sum for years. Peking Duck and Har Gow are solid options for Chinese takeout food in Toronto. If you’re in the mood for something sweet, try their mango or almond pudding for dessert."

"This is the place to settle down and stay (yes, bad pun intended). Generous portions of delicious shaved ice are perfect for sharing, and there are lots of drinks for sipping while you chat away."

"Really good menu and quality dishes for Cantonese style Chinese food. Huge portions per order, so it's always worth doing "family style" with others. They also have a BBQ section for pork, duck and chicken."

"Located within the headwaters of the Don and Humber Rivers, this is a great park to get back to nature without having to go that far as it's south of Rutherford Road. Key highlights include a steep-sided Humber River Valley and big hill that gives you gorgeous view points of the Humber River. The park is great for picnics with quite a number of areas to set up which makes it great for families."

"If you’ve never been to Boyd Conservation Centre, you’re missing out. This Woodbridge nature preserve, which is chock full of mature trees, is nothing short of majestic. It’s also a local favourite for family get-togethers, thanks to its many picnic and BBQ sites."

"Sugarbush is a beautiful and quiet place to hike right in the Thornhill Woods neighbourhood. It’s stunning all year round, but it’s especially beautiful when the trees are coated in fall colours!. LOCATION: 91 Thornhill Woods Dr, Thornhill, ON"

"Queen Street West is notably more different than the downtown Toronto shopping districts mentioned previously. It’s a vibrant neighbourhood with a mix of great shops, beautiful art and some of the city’s best restaurants and bars. To paint a picture of this area in case you haven’t had the pleasure of visiting quite yet, in 2014, Vogue named Queen Street West the second-hippest district in the world."

"Queen Street West is certainly where you can get some shopping done!. Located – you guessed it – along Queen Street West west of Yonge Street and extending well past Bathurst Street, Queen Street is also home to many amazing restaurants, hip bars and pubs, and coffee shops. One of our favourite ramen places in on Queen Street West and Lisa misses it dearly from when we used to go for ramen lunch!"

"From the tower make your way up to Queen Street where you can then catch a streetcar or start shopping your way down the street. Further down Queen Street West you’ll find Kensington Market, a bohemiam and hipster neighbourhood filled with vintage shops and many ethinic cuisines. It’s a great spot to stop for lunch or you can wait as you make your way to Chinatown."

"Sano is a city located in Tochigi, Japan, and is known for its sushi, ramen and Chinese-style noodles. Get a taste of authentic Japan-style food at Sano Sushi!. Offers mouth-watering delicacies and well-loved favorites, Sano will satisfy even the most discerning taste buds."

"Diana’s Seafood is one of the top seafood stores in the city, if you’re willing to take the trek east into Scarborough, and located right next door is the affiliated Oyster Bar. Offering lobster club sandwiches, clam chowders, grilled salmon, calamari, and, naturally, plenty of oysters, Diana’s also caters to hotels and restaurants throughout the Greater Toronto Area."

"Serving up extremely fresh fish in the way of innovative rolls, Wow Sushi is no doubt worth every penny – and it doesn’t require many. Most rolls are $3-$8, with the most expensive at $10-$12, and sushi is $4-$7 for two pieces (unless you’re splurging for the tuna belly at $12); sashimi ranges a bit on the more expensive side – $6-$10 for four pieces – but the quality makes it well worth the extra dollar or two. Favourites include the dynamite roll, spicy salmon roll, japango roll, torched sea bream sushi and butterfish sushi."
