Campechano
According to the Michelin Guide, “The menu is short and sweet, but still, how does one pick between the smoky barbacoa with jalapeño salsa and the flaky, beer-battered haddock with red cabbage? Sautéed mushrooms with double-smoked bacon and chili oil are a sleeper favourite too.”
Where: Campechano, 504 Adelaide St W & 460 College St

Quetzal
Quetzal’s wood burning grill is cookin’ up some of the best Mexican food in the city.
“Lamb barbacoa packed into griddled, blue masa tortillas and charred maitake mushrooms set in a crema poblana highlight the transformative magic of fire, while dry-aged amberjack aguachile flexes the kitchen’s delicate side,” says the Michelin Guide.
Where: Quetzal, 419 College St
Puerto Bravo
Puerto Bravo is on the city’s east end and according to the Michelin Guide, “This itty bitty kitchen is the little engine that could, doling out the bold flavours of Tampico made with quality ingredients and executed with care.”
Where: Puerto Bravo, 1425 Gerrard St E
La Bartola
If you don’t eat meat, this one’s for you.
La Bartola is meat-less and here’s what the Michelin Guide has to say about it: “Black sesame tostadas with salsa macha negra and sikil pak are a perfect opener. Tacos made from purple corn are eye-catching, while braised hibiscus is a delicious substitute for the typical meat.”
Where: La Bartola, 588 College St
