Downtown Toronto

Midtown Toronto

This corner of the city is strictly upper crust. Bloor/Yorkville is one of Toronto's more elegant dining areas, particularly in the many upscale hotels located in this district.

Church & Wellesley
Known as the Gay Village, the Church Street strip is home to dozens of restaurants, from trendy martini bars to intimate eateries, many of which double as clubs when the sun goes down. A great place for weekend brunch or people watching on the many patios.

Little Italy
Italian and Portuguese food rules in this lively neighbourhood packed with trattorias, trendy restaurants and cafés. Sidewalks are jammed on weekends - especially in the summer - when all of Toronto, it seems, is sipping espressos on outdoor patios.

East Toronto

Greektown
A large collection of restaurants - many with patios - feature authentic Greek cuisine in a lively atmosphere. "The Danforth" is also a night owl's haven, with clubs and cafés open into the wee hours. A great place to stroll after a good meal.

West Toronto

Corso Italia
A multitude of cafés and restaurants offering the cuisines of various Italian regions draw the young and the old to this busy area of town.

Little Poland
An enclave of Eastern European and Russian residents, this area specializes in traditional cuisine, family bakeries, cafés, and special events from the "old country".
