The top 10 family restaurants in Toronto
"Rodney’s Oyster House has been going for over 20 years and possibly one of the best restaurants in Toronto for shellfish. Plus, it’s one of my favourite places for New England Clam Chowder and oysters!. As you’re in Canada, make sure to try Rodney’s Caesar, too."
"Rodney’s Oyster House has become a sort of institution in Toronto. First open in 1987, Rodney’s is home to some of the best oysters in the city as well as scallops, lobster and king crab. You can find them in the King West neighbourhood."
"13:00: Grab lunch at Rodney’s Oyster House They have one of the best clam chowders in Canada, so make sure you arrive hungry."
"Tucked away off Yorkville’s main thoroughfare, Joso’s is one of the city’s classic dining destinations. Take one step inside the doors and you'll understand its appeal. The rooms are filled with art—photographs,..."
"Famous for its cuttlefish ink pasta and risotto nero, and its impeccable fresh fish selection, Joso's stands out as a feast for your tastebuds, eyes and for ..."
"Head over to Joso’s, a pretty well-known joint in Toronto for some of the best seafood in the city. Make sure to try their Octopus Salad, it’s amazing."
"Zee Grill is one of the best and oldest seafood restaurants and oyster bars in Toronto. Located in the Yonge & Eglinton neighborhood we've been serving oysters..."
"To-Ne Sushi is Chinatown’s popular spot for cheap, but delicious, sushi. Rolls average around $8, with a few topping out at around $12.95-$14.95 (these are meant for splurging), but maki and veggie rolls are more around the $4-$6 range. Sushi nigiri goes for about $4-$6 and sashimi for $5-$6, except for the expensive toro, or tuna belly."
"This new pop-up is serving the city’s best ceviches, seafood cocktails, tacos, and more. They’ve only been around for about two weeks but they’re already wracking in quite the fan base. But hey – who doesn’t love ceviches, seafood cocktails, and tacos??"
"This hidden treasure on Brimley Road might be one of the best insights into how early settlers lived when they arrived in Scarborough, before it became on the biggest suburbs in the 20th century. Set off a series of trails and greenery of the Thomson Memorial Park, this series of four buildings is especially beautiful in the summertime."
"The hybrid brewery, bottle shop, restaurant and music hall has been a Bloordale fixture since 2015 thanks to its unpretentious ambience and tasty bar snacks. Choose from 10 beers on rotation including the tropically hoppy DIPA double IPA or crush a couple of Tuesday cans, bursting with clove and pineapple, while seated on the thoughtfully designed side patio. Sikil Pak, pakoras and burrata all appear on the seasonal menu, but if you’d rather go the junk food route, we suggest the Fries Supreme!"
"Burdock has a lot going on – it’s a restaurant, a music hall and it also happens to be brewing some of the best beers in the city. Go to catch some live music or sit down to a meal made with local, seasonal ingredients; but stay for the beer (or grab some to go from the bottle shop). Burdock brewed their first batch of beer in July 2015 and have been going strong ever since."
"A post shared by Burdock Brewery (@burdockbrewery) on Dec 5, 2015 at 11:23am PST. Chris from travelingmitch:. Burdock Brewery, in my humble opinion, is the shining light of the Toronto’s Bloordale Village neighbourhood which, for reference, isn’t terribly far from the much better known Junction Triangle."
"Its massive size and industrial-chic exterior might scream “big business,” but Northern Maverick is a homegrown operation – and a surprisingly detail-obsessed one. On top of a broad seasonal food menu that features a smashing house charcuterie program and above-average brunches, the brew pub also features a 10-hectolitre brewhouse churning out a wide variety of styles."
"Although craft breweries come in all shapes and sizes, I never dreamed I would see one on the main floor of a condominium building, just off King Street West in downtown Toronto. Suspended over a parking garage of luxury import cars at that!. But there is one, about a hundred feet from my front door and I'm in love with the brews and the restaurant."
"The patio at this brewery in the King West area has lots of space and ample heating for a brunch, lunch, dinner or just casual beer with a chance of zero shivers."
"You’d never know it standing at Gerrard and Coxwell, but one of Toronto’s most inventive (and gorgeous) breweries is just around the corner. Godspeed balances Japanese, Czech and German influences, which means visitors to the airy, dark wood-panelled taproom can choose from green tea IPA, plum saison, Kellerbier and pale lagers, to name a few. Pair them with snacks like miso foie gras from house chef Ryusuke Yamanaka."
"Like chefs who find out about a city’s best restaurants before the rest of us, local brewers are obsessed with Godspeed."
"Kokoro Sushi makes harbourfront eating that much more affordable – with all rolls and maki under $12.95, sushi-goers in the downtown core can order knowing that this place won’t burn a hole in their wallet. There are veggie rolls, spicy rolls, classic rolls and specialty rolls to choose from, all served in generous portions, and other additions like miso soup are well under $5. The only catch is that it’s take-out only, except for minimal patio seating during the warmer months."
"It’s the perfect choice for those looking for the perfect mix of Japanese and Mexican cuisines. Want some tacos to go along with your plate of sashimi?. The Haam has got you covered."
