Updated November 03, 2023
Toronto’s distinctive neighbourhoods and multicultural history make the city one of the most exciting places to eat in the country.

There’s no better time to acknowledge and support the restaurants that have had an immeasurable influence on modern dining in Toronto: meet The Greats, the 18 restaurants that breathe life into the city.
