• Steak • Queen West

Prime Seafood Palace is a modern steakhouse offering a selection of beef, seafood, and vegetables all sourced from purveyors we love and value. Unexpected - a space to truly experience in person.

5. Lulu Bar - Toronto
4.7
Exceptional(461)
Price: Expensive
• Pacific Rim • King West
Booked 73 times today
Open Monday-Sunday in the new iconic Well building, Lulu Bar is an escape from the ordinary. Its welcoming vibe is reminiscent of hidden gems from your last vacation, only better because it’s right here in your own backyard. With a whimsical, Pacific-inspired menu, Lulu’s food is light and fresh — but heavy on flavour. Our menu is a tribute to the Pacific Ocean and many of the regions that touch it, with influences from Asia to Hawaii, California to British Columbia. Lulu’s fun, light, and refreshing drink menu is equally well-traveled. Its creative cocktail, wine, sake and beer offerings will make you feel like you’re far from home — and we like that.

6. Bar Vendetta
4.6
Exceptional(525)
Price: Expensive
• Contemporary Canadian • Little Portugal / Dundas West
Booked 27 times today
Bar Vendetta distinguishes itself in a space that had previously been a fairly iconic restaurant, The Black Hoof, with a beautiful (and imposing) Douglas fir ‘glass canopy’ and a completely different, 70s colour scheme, modelled (very loosely) on Jen's teen basement bedroom in Scarborough. Nothing says 70s like brown, orange and cream! We didn’t want it to scream ‘Italian restaurant’ because frankly it’s only Italian-ish, using the philosophies of Italian cooking with locally available ingredients and a strong devotion to seasonality. Our pastas all made in house, by long-time chef, Annalisa Latavo and our front of house team is simply a dream! The sort of secret treehouse-feeling back patio is hugely popular in the summer, but we think of it as the perfect restaurant for a colder evening, cozy for tucking into a beautiful plate of pasta, with one of your favourite songs playing while you have a very nice Italian red.
