Benihana Japanese Steakhouse

100 Front W, Toronto ON M5J 1E3

Benihana is a special occasion kind of place, where you go for birthdays or take out-of-town guests for dinner. So take yourself out to celebrate and be a tourist in your own city at Benihana! You’ll be seated at a hibachi table (seats up to seven). From here, you can watch the chef chop and juggle your meal, teppanyaki-style. It’s dinner and a show! And a cool bonus? Benihana has its first locally brewed sake, IZUMI (spring water), exclusive to the hotel - made with fresh Ontario spring water and prepared using traditional Japanese methods and recipes.

Momofuku Shoto

190 University Ave, Toronto ON M5H 0A3

Momofuku is the kind of restaurant that should be experienced at least once. Chef David Chang and his brand have become such a partof the restaurant landscape that you need to see what’s being done here. That, combined with the tremendous view and one of the most spacious dining rooms in the city, you’re in for a memorable meal.

Ruth's Chris Steak House

145 Richmond St W, Toronto ON M5H 2L2

This American chain restaurant falls under the “fancy” category that I told you to skip earlier. But because the menu is always the same (steak, lobster, shrimp) and the food is consistent whether you’re in Toronto or Tampa, it’s an exception to my rule. The sight (and aroma) of a USDA Prime steak sizzling on a 500° plate is worth the trip alone.

Sitting on the dock of the bay, or a patio downtown, or in the cool comfort of an air conditioned restaurant, nothing says summertime like fish and chips. Here are the city’s top 5 spots:
We are so fortunate in Toronto that we don’t have to wait for TIFF to arrive to get a sneak peek of Hollywood elite, supermodels and their ilk. If you want to star-gaze and get up close to celebs, head to these top 5 eateries in the city for VIPs and superstars.
One of the best ways to spend a summer evening is to catch a show. Whether you’re going out to a big theatre production such as Newsies or Kinky Boots, or you’re heading off to hear a performance by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Canadian Opera Company or Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra & Chamber Choir, you’re going to want to eat beforehand.
