Best Nightlife in Vaughan

"Run by one of the city’s most prolific hotel groups, The Drake Hotel restaurant is one of the few hotel spots that boasts major culinary clout. Pre-pandemic, the property regularly hosted 86’ed Mondays, a monthly industry night founded by hospitality legend Ivy Knight that brought together local chefs for friendly, themed cooking competitions that the public could attend. While events are off the table for the moment, the hotel’s rooftop dining area (named one of the best in the world by Condé Nast Traveler) is still worth a visit to try one of the city’s top burgers and sip on a spritz while taking in the skyline views."

"For a more eclectic, boutique vibe, The Drake Hotel caters to the lovers of art, music, food, and unpretentious fun. Each of the unique, character-rich rooms features eye-popping art, custom furniture and woodwork, Malin+Goetz toiletries, comfy queen-sized Sealy mattresses, and unexpected creative miscellaneous touches throughout. The “Art Passport” package includes mini bottles of sparkling, a $50 credit to enjoy The Drake’s upscale reimagined cuisine, an original Art-For-You artwork keepsake, and late checkout."

"Stylish, unique and full of art, Drake One Fifty has elegantly avoided being stuck up in a district filled with suits, all without alienating its lunchtime crowd. Stop by to take in the all the contemporary creativity that fills the space whether it’s art, decor, crafty mixology or, of course, the food – a zesty take on traditional brasserie fare. The ingredients are local, seasonal and the dishes are made from scratch, a mentality thats as admirable and ethical as it is trendy."

"This place has pretty much all you could dream of when it comes to stellar sights of the city. Their 360 degree views make dining here more than memorable. AND they have a bar and an outdoor pool, so come back in the summertime for a skyline dip."

"Like an indoor skydiving chamber and a robot who would turn off the lights for us when we’re already in bed, there are a lot of things we’d buy if we won the lottery. Regular meals (and the airfare required) at Miku would also be on the list. Miku’s sushi mixes traditional Japanese preparation with local ingredients, and prominently features a blowtorch - their Aburi-style focuses on lightly flame-searing the fish to bring out the flavor."

"Miku pioneered aburi-style sushi in Canada — which, for the uninitiated, translates to 'flame-seared'. In practice, this means the fish is cooked over fire to create new textures and enhance flavour, searing it over binchotan (Japanese bamboo charcoal). The restaurant also has a signature secret sauce, known only by a handful of its chefs."

"If you wish to have a taste of a cross between Asian cuisine and modern takes in Toronto, DaiLo, a French-inspired Chinese snack-bar, one of the best South Asian restaurant in Toronto, and dim sum counter can be your perfect place. Its coupe-style seating and cushioned seats with delightful and casual Asian ambiance can be your ideal meal destination. Big Mac Bao, Hakka Brown Wontons, Grilled Korean Ribs, all you can have accompanied with wine or beer of your choice."

"Highly celebrated for its imaginative cuisine, DaiLo is a bit more upbeat than the other restaurants on this list. In a dimly lit, teal and gold setting, flavourful plates pack a punch by blending traditional Asian dishes and ingredients with French techniques. Let the chef pick your meal if you want to go all out, but a flexible menu means you can eat as much or as little as you want."

"Located inside the always scenic Distillery Distinct, El Catrin’s large patio always feels like its hosting a party, though one that’s completely family friendly. The menu consists of both traditional and modern Mexican food, with the tacos having won a few awards. In addition to high chairs, El Catrin also offers a special menu for “little amigos."

"This Distillery District restaurant specializing in Latin American cuisine has a reputation for its all-season patio complete with 25 heaters and a giant fire pit."

"Following the modified Phase 2 announcement, the Shangri-La opened their patio back up. Warm-up with a fall tipple Monday to Friday from 12 p.m."

"Restaurant 7 West serves all around the clock, 365 days a year, so you never have to miss out on good grub in our city. Located on Charles Street in the heart of the Annex, this multi-level restaurant is not only 24/7, but it also changes as you scale the stairs."
