The beef tartare, burgers and sundaes are already legendary at this little sibling of Alo at Queen and Spadina. The cozy spot looks sort of like a new age diner. Expect lineups for dinner as they don't take reservations.

Thai food fit for royalty such as technicolour salads mixed tableside is served at this elegant Entertainment District restaurant from the people behind Pai, Sukhothai and Sabai Sabai.

This is your mother’s Armenian cooking without your mother’s kitchen. This airy, glowing space on Bayview serves whole heads of roasted cauliflower, manti dumplings and lamb chops.

Jen Agg has done it again with this Kensington Market restaurant where a menu of perpetually changing small plates are put together in an open kitchen. Flickering candlelight and delicate decor make this a place you want to while away the hours with cocktails and wine.


La Palma

La Palma

First class Italian is available all day in this breezy Dundas West restaurant. Pasta and pizza contend with grilled items that even include donuts.
