Best Takeout Food Restaurants in Markham

"A start-up Vietnamese sandwich joint that has become a local sensation, Bahn Mi Boys now has four restaurants in and around Toronto. It’s no wonder the city has gone crazy over these sandwiches bursting with flavor, especially after sampling their signature five spice pork belly bahn mi ($6.50 CAD or about $5 USD). Texture is everything with their softer-than-a-pillow steamed boa sandwiches, where playable rice patties pocket delicious bites of braised beef, pulled pork, and fried chicken (hovering around $3.50 CAD or $2.75 USD)."

"Deemed the unofficial Subway of Vietnam, everyone has to try Banh Mi Boys at least once. The banh mi is awesome here and they also serve tasty bao, like the pork belly bao for just $4.75. Topped with a specialty spicy sauce and pickled daikon, this is some delicious eats for under $5."

"Started by real life brothers Brayden and Dustin Jones in 2015, the brewery has amassed a passionate following, so much so, the park across the street has become the unofficial overflow room when the indoor seating and patio are packed. Blood Brothers is known for its experimental sours, wine infusions (like White Lies, a sour ale re-fermented with Chablis grapes) and fruity concoctions, including Ronnie’s Pharmaceuticals, a sweet-and-sour ale collab with Toronto dives Ronnie’s and Pharmacy. It recently opened a kitchen, serving up brewery bread made in-house and fried potatoes that are liked cubed latkes."

"Industrial old Geary Avenue has become one of Toronto’s most interesting food strips, complete with a lineup-besieged pasta joint, a sleek hummus café and a distillery. But what preceded them all was this brewery and taproom run by brothers Dustin and Brayden Jones. A perch on the corner patio is an ideal midpoint on a neighbourhood food crawl and the perfect place to sip a Shumei, a dank-smelling West Coast IPA that’s been part of the brewery’s rotation since day one."

"In 2015, Blood Brothers was born when a pair of brothers decided they needed to bring more interesting beers to their pals. Now, the Geary Avenue brewery is a full-scale operation. Beer menus read like potions – the Shumei IPA blends West Coast and North Eastern styles of IPA, while the Paradise Lost is a sour ale brewed with carrots, mangoes and pineapples."

"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."

"Located in the Annex area, Pauper's Pub is a classic neighboorhood pub, going strong since 1986. Spanning over three floors with ground floor main bar and a second floor lounge, the real cherry on the cake is up top: the seasonal Paupers Pub rooftop patio. A very relaxed and casual Toronto rooftop bar, simple in decor but with lovely views over the Toronto skyline."

"The Annex has this bar that's innovated with personalized winter cubbies, each with their own wind-resistant barrier and heater. Cuddle up at a picnic table and stuff yourself with some stick-to-your-ribs pub food."

"Enjoy all the carbs on this cozy heated patio, complete with an extensive plant-based menu, at this Danforth Avenue staple."

"Ready-made-meals are at your fingertips with this next food spot in Toronto. Okay, so this one’s more of a grocery-restaurant hybrid than a straight resto. But still, it’s worth mentioning."

"Brookfield Place may look like just another office tower from the outside, but it’s the interior that will really get photographers snap-happy. The building features the gorgeous Allen Lambert Galleria which was designed by famed Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, where metal frames arch to evoke the feel of an urban, tree-lined canopy."

"If you’re a big fan of architecture like me then you’ll love the next indoor photography spot in Toronto. It’s in Brookfield Place. This shopping mall/business centre is home to the Allen Lambert Galleria, a glass and steel pedestrian walkway that will have you craning your neck up in awe."

"One of the favorites amongst locals in Toronto, Buddha’s Vegetarian Foods is one of the best Chinese vegetarian restaurants in Toronto.

Sitting in the Kensington Market, this restaurant never fails to impress even the meat lovers with their crispy ginger veggie beef, veggies on crispy noodles, mock duck, soya steak, and more."

"A post shared by Kupfert & Kim (@kupfertkim) on Jun 9, 2020 at 10:02am PDT. Meatless and wheatless, this spot cares about what people put into their bodies, and is great for grab-and-go grub that won’t weigh you down. On the menu: pesto quinoa, curry bowls, tempeh and bean chili, and more hearty meatless eats."
