Luxury Restaurants in Toronto That Deserve a Michelin Star
"An elegant rooftop restaurant and bar, perched on the 5th floor at the Dineen Building in the financial district of downtown Toronto. With a sophisticated atmosphere and modern North American menu, it is not to be confused with the more casual sister restaurant The Chase Fish & Oyster on the ground floor of the same building. Beautiful and stylish in decoration, up at The Chase you can enjoy contemporary American cuisine for lunch or dinner, handcrafted cocktails and fine wines."
"This rooftop restaurant takes upscale dining to the next level — quite literally!. With stunning views of the city, seafood platters, and creative cocktails, The Chase could totally end your search for “The One.”. Address: 10 Temperance Street, TorontoPhone: 647-348-7000"
"The menu at The Chase, comprised of surf and turf offerings, will make you drool but so will the spectacular view. Located in the historic Dineen building on the 5th floor, this patio should be your first pick if your feeling like some fancy seafood."
"This vegan establishment has made a name for itself largely due to its team of creative, innovative chefs. Using their respective backgrounds, this group of restaurateurs is cooking up some of the most exciting vegan fare in the city. Expect dishes like artichoke barigoule ravioli and seedling salad with za’atar; porcini mushroom and cauliflower soup; and charcoal gnocchi."
"Avelo Restaurant, formerly called Awai, is an innovative, vegan, fine dining restaurant in Toronto. Avelo offers tasting menus in multiple courses (three, five, and eight courses) that continually rotate with the seasons. At the restaurant, they bake their own bread, make their own vinegars and preserves, and create their own vegan cheeses."
"A post shared by Avelo (@avelo.restaurant) on Sep 4, 2019 at 10:18am PDT. After whiling away the winter break, getting back to reality can be torture. Ease into the end of the holiday season with dinner at this charming vegan spot near Yonge and Bloor."

"Challet has made a name for himself in Toronto for more than 20 years, helming the kitchens at some of the city's best French-inspired restaurants. So when he opened Ici Bistro in the Annex neighbourhood in 2009, diners and food critics expected good things. Challet has delivered, with a menu of modern interpretations on French classics (or nouveau classique, thank you very much)."
"Next we have the quaint Beverly Rooftop which features Mexican eats on a small rooftop. This is a lesser known spot but is a great spot to hit if you’re looking to sip on cocktails during the day and enjoy Tacos on the side. This spot has a nice ambiance with a nice view of the CN Tower, despite its small size."
"Pegasus on Church is another staple on the Toronto Church gay scene going strong since 1993 (making it the second oldest after Woody's). It is spread over 2 floors with weekly events like drag queen bingo, trivia evenings and even the occasional league night for local LGBTQ sports leagues. Pegasus is perhaps most well known for its standup comedy nights on Sundays, featuring local LBGTQ breakout comedians."
"2009 was a memorable year for restaurant openings in Toronto, and Local Kitchen and Wine Bar was among the notable debuts. Childhood friends Fabio Bondi and Michael Sangregorio teamed up to open the space. It's tiny and decorated in an unpretentious style, resembling a hole-in-the-wall you might find while wandering around Florence."
"Revival Bar has been entertaining guests, visitors and fans with the best in live musical performances, the hottest DJs, live theatre, comedy since 2002."
"Decommissioned bus terminal turned east-end classic, established 1948. Tim Dutaud, owner: There’s a story behind these booths. Orphan Black filmed here, and I guess they didn’t like the original colour of the booths, so they brought the green ones in."
"24-hour standby for students and the downtown crowd, established 1940. Richard Kim, co-owner: My family bought this location [on College Street] of Fran’s in the 90s. The previous owner, Francis Deck Jr., inherited all the restaurants from his father."
"If you don’t have time to grab your pancakes for breakfast, you’re in luck. Fran’s Restaurant serves breakfast all day, every day. Pancakes come in a variety of flavors including original, banana, chocolate, walnut, or mixed berries."
"Impact Kitchen is a very casual, healthy brunch and lunch restaurant. It is not entirely vegetarian but has a lot of vegetarian options!. The food here is very clean, it doesn’t have a lot of sauces or spices on its options."
"The mood at the Mill Street Brew Pub is set long before you enter: it’s in Toronto’s Distillery District, a pedestrian-only historic site of Victorian industrial buildings from a former distillery. The warehouse-chic aesthetic continues inside the bar, which has lofted ceilings, brick walls, and warm wood. The space, which is adjacent to the brewery itself, is often bustling, especially in summer when the outdoor patio is in full swing."
