Toronto is a city with world-class restaurants — in fact, it’ll soon be the only city in Canada with its own Michelin Guide. But, according to the newly-released Canada’s 100 Best list, a handful of Toronto restaurants are in a league of their own.
Released annually, Canada’s 100 Best “offers Canadians the ultimate guide to the country’s top dining destinations, with information–rich reviews that showcase the experiences of food writers from coast–to–coast,” according to its description.
The ranking showcases Canada’s best places to dine as selected by a team of 100 esteemed judges and tastemakers and tabulated by a bespoke software program.
