Toronto's best sushi places, from kaiseki to all-you-can-eat
"29 You can always find Patti Robinson’s most excellent loaves of bread for sale at Burdock Brewery and at Paris Paris, the Dundas West wine bar where she does all her baking. But now you can also find her sturdy sourdoughs, seeded ryes and perfect pains au lait at the Dufferin Grove and Junction farmers’ markets. Grab a loaf to go and a pastry or two—like one of her ramp-and-cheese danishes, strawberry croissants or rhubarb-almond cakes—to stay."
"Hear me out: maid cafés we a concept introduced to Toronto from Japan, and they are the type of café where servers don black and white frilly maid outfits, and greet you with an enthusiastic “irrashaimase,” a greeting meaning welcome. Three days a week, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays, the servers also double up as performers, singing and dancing to Japanese pop songs. The café offers in-house drinks and desserts, including the Angel Hat cheesecakes that the original storefront nearby sells too, as well as items like matcha lattes and puddings."
"A post shared by Bake Shoppe (@bakeshoppeto) on Mar 12, 2020 at 3:46pm PDT. Sweets and sass, sass and sweets. They go together like peanut butter and jelly, and Bake Shoppe knows it."
"This popular Locke Street coffee shop offers a flavourful lunch and dinner menu of animal-free ingredients. Choose from mains like the chickpea smash melt, falafel pita, and pierogi pizza, plus apps and salads. Must-try: Their most popular item is cauliflower wings: crispy cauliflower tossed in a choice of spicy Sriracha lime sauce, bourbon BBQ, sweet and sour, or sweet apple garlic sauce."
"The vegetarian/vegan menu here includes a section for kids, too, like the kid-sized portion of their famous cauliflower wings and vegan grilled cheese. Dessert options include made-to-order crepes, local craft ice cream, and a rotating selection of baked goods (how good do Oreo stuffed cookie bars sound?). Must-try: The house-made crispy falafel on a warm pita is simply delicious."
"Democracy on Locke understands that dietary restrictions shouldn’t stand in the way of access to delicious, indulgent food. The coffee shop sells plenty of vegan and gluten-free goods, allowing a wider demographic to come in and enjoy their food. While all of their food is great (have you tried their nachos?) we’re really big fans of their donuts."
"The bijou but beloved James Street diner’s back patio is a colourful little oasis in the centre of the busy downtown strip. Tuck into decadent all-day breakfast items or hearty classic diner lunch fare (poutine!), as well as craft beer and cocktails. Address: 301 James St. North, HamiltonPhone: 289-389-5647"
"This is weird, but every time I think about the Jack and Lois restaurant I always sing that one part of Jack and Diane. You know which part, since it’s basically the only time John Mellencamp actually mentions them."
"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..."

"Pearl Diver, a rebirth of Starfish Oyster House, is serving up one of the most extensive selections of oysters in the city. The menu always has options from both coasts and some European varieties. Diners can also expect seafood favourites like fish and chips, and surf and turf."
"Located on Adelaide near Jarvis and Queen East, the menus at Pearl Diver cover your seafood cravings for brunch, lunch, and dinner. This homey restaurant offers classic chowder, oyster, and calamari options, along with fish and chips, burgers, and much more."
