Best Fine Dining in Toronto

"The Chase feels like you’re dining in a swanky Manhattan penthouse, without any of the pretentiousness. Instead, chef Tyler Shedden, a former protégé of Michelin-star chef Daniel Boulud, offers polished fare with an emphasis on sustainable seafood and plant-based options. Begin your meal with the opulent Diamond Platter, which arrives with tiers of fresh ocean Fogo Island snow crab, Nova Scotia lobster, prawns, oysters and more, and then – if you have any room left – tuck into shareable indulgences; the most popular is the roasted halibut with creamer potatoes in tarragon butter, with toasted brioche crust and finished with a beech mushroom sauce."

"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."

"Major big spender downtown vibes reign at this Financial District restaurant where your exciting views are of skyscrapers and bustling streets."

"The restaurant is quiet about it, but the food here is entirely vegan. Rather than trumpet the politics of its choice, the kitchen modestly prepares food without animal products, surprising the palate with foraged moss, obscure grains, seaweed-extracted umami, and fermented vegetables. The menu also boasts wood-fired flatbreads, fancy mushrooms, and soup so creamy that it’s hard to believe it’s not made with butter."

"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."

"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."

"Biagio Ristorante is a gorgeous Italian spot in Old Town, and it’s a chic restaurant for all your Instagrammable needs."

"Families flock to Centre Island Beach on the eastern shores of Toronto Island. Facing Lake Ontario, the area is accessible by ferry or water taxi. Despite being only fifteen minutes from downtown Toronto, you’ll feel like you’ve left town once you hit the sandy shores and clear blue water crashing against the shore (worry not, a rock breakwater is in place to keep kids safe)."

"The beach is located on the southern shore of Toronto Island Park, in an area also known as “Manitou Beach”. Centre Island Beach has very calm, shallow, and slightly warm waters because the rock breakwater was built to provide a barrier from the open lake. This beach is an ideal place for the entire family to go for a walk, swim, relax, picnic, and enjoy the scenery."

"You have to take a ferry to get to Centre Island, but it’s a mere 15-minute boat ride from downtown making it a great and close escape. Despite being close to the city, Centre Island feels like it’s a world away and brings all the beach vibes with it."

"Situated close to the famous Rouge river, the charming Rouge beach is home to a wide range of wildlife species and you can also spend the entire day sunbathing and swimming in the soothing waters here. Camping is surely an option here as made available at the Rough National Urban Park. Other facilities at this beach include bike trails, washrooms, a massive volleyball court and changing rooms."

"Located at the mouth of the Rouge River at the east end of Lawrence Avenue, Rouge Beach is a great place to go if you want to feel like you’re getting a little escape from the city - without actually leaving the city. In addition to swimming and sunbathing, the marshes at Rouge Beach are good for wildlife viewing. You can also fish or canoe one the Rouge River."

"Located at the mouth of the Rouge River at the east end of Lawrence Avenue, this beach is shared with the West Rouge Canoe Club. Near the beach is a marsh that provides a home to a variety of wildlife. Any time of the year, the picturesque scenery around Rouge Beach is calming and impressive."
