The top 10 family restaurants in Toronto
"Rodney’s Oyster House can be found on King Street West, just west of Spadina Avenue and a stone’s throw from both the Financial and Entertainment Districts. Since 1987, Rodney’s has been one of the most popular oyster spots in the city, in addition to being an important importer and wholesaler."
"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."
"Rodney's Oyster House is a moderately priced casual Seafood restaurant located by King St W and Spadina Ave in the King West area of Downtown Toronto."
"Honest Weight, in the Junction feels a bit like a New England clam shack. Helmed by four of the city's noted seafood chefs, the restaurant takes its fish seriously, and Torontonians will cross the city just to get their fix. There's always something a little unexpected and rare to try, like house-steamed cockles or Azorean limpet clams."
"Honest Weight is the place to head to in The Junction when you need to get your seafood fix. The menu at this lunch counter and fish shop changes based on whatever seafood is freshly available, with standbys including chowder, shellfish, Ontario shrimp, and okonomiyaki. You can wash it all down with house-made sodas too."
"Honest Weight might be a small eatery, but there’s nothing small about the flavour offered on the international-inspired menu. With dishes inspired by regions from New England to Japan, the menu is packed with delicious seafood items that change with the seasons. Try the famous Okonomiyaki – a savoury seafood pancake."
"Woodbridge’s long-standing seafood market boasts one of the best selections of imported seafood, from all corners of the Mediterranean. “I’ve never seen a seafood selection like this in downtown Toronto,” Bruno says. He also has a thing for oysters and always enjoys a quick snack of them while shopping here."
"Just because Fresh Off the Boat is casual doesn’t mean it doesn’t deliver on service and quality. The urban Asian sandwich shop is serving up some of the best seafood in the city, including its incredible lobster roll. Other must-try menu items include soft shell crab, The FOB (an Asian po' boy banh mi) and the seafood chowder."
"A photo posted by Scatterfly (@scatterflyy) on Oct 16, 2016 at 10:04pm PDT. Seafood has a reputation for being fancy. Not so at this Queen West joint where the menu features soft shell crab sandwiches, lobster rolls and fish and chip dinners made fresh and served fast."
"Walk up to the third floor of this little Dundas Street ‘mall’ and you’ll reach what is perhaps the largest Dim Sum restaurant in Toronto. With an extensive selection of dishes on offer at all hours of the day, weekday mornings are the best time to go for reduced prices. Alternatively, head there on Friday evening for some post-Dim Sum ballroom dancing – an activity sorely missing from other restaurants serving the same fare."
"Why go: Delectable dim sum for takeout and also, dining here is an experience. Fresh food comes around on pushcarts, inviting you to try something new or revisit an old favourite. What to order: Dumplings of all kinds, bbq pork buns, chive and seafood pancakes."
"Small bite size traditional breakfast foods prepared to perfection at Dim Sum King in Toronto is what keeps the masses flocking."
"This is the best chicken I try in Swiss Chalet, not too dry and hot, fries is hot and fresh. I will be back again in this location!"
"Located on Ossington, Oddseoul is a blink-and-you-might-miss-it sorta spot. The small restaurant has limited seating, but once inside, their snack menu features delicious items like Bulgogi Cheesesteak, Steamed Bun, Spicy Scallion & Avocado Slaw for just $5. Our favourite dish is “The Loosey,” their take on the Big Mac, made with juicy short-rib, kimchee, processed cheese, pickles, mayo and ketchup on a sesame challah bun."
"For the downtown set, Beerbistro is the perfect reprieve from a drawn-out day at the office or a packed day of sightseeing. The elevated bistro has a superb tap selection, and the bar team is happy to play tour guide. The staff is incredibly informed on the beer world, so much so that the annual Canadian Golden Tap Awards are hosted here."
