 Fine dining at celebrity hot spot |

What do Rod Stewart, Paul Newman, Nicole Kidman and Yoko Ono have in common? They are among those who have dined at this hip spot through the years. Little wonder; this North Toronto restaurant has won every major culinary award imaginable, including En Route's Best Restaurant in Canada, and Gourmet's America's Top Tables Award. Dishes include tried-and-true Italian specialties, as well as sushi and innovative fusion combos. Be sure to try the baked Halibut or Aussie Rack of Lamb, or if you really want to splurge, the Persian caviar. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 You'll Be Back for More! |
2036 Yonge Street Toronto, ON M4S 1Z9 Canada +1 416 322 8861 |
Hungry North Toronto locals love Echo Sushi for the lightning quick service and the extensive all-you-can-eat menu that transcends the cheap and cheerful norm. While an impressive a la carte menu is available, it is the all encompassing All You Can Eat option that reigns supreme. Sashimi is fresh and the nigiri is perfectly formed, however, maki is the recommended fare. Favorites include the Dynamite Roll, The Green Dragon and the Jade Island roll. The only rule is, unfinished plates are priced separate to the AYCE menu, so make sure your eyes aren't bigger than your stomach! - Marie Ann Nicola Review © 2007, Wcities |

Located in the Yorkville area, this tiny restaurant has been highly praised by the Toronto Sushi Society, a group of fanatical sushi lovers who meet to discuss their favourite meals. The restaurant, located above a nondescript shop, isn't very imposing but offers fine traditional Japanese cooking such as Steak Teriyaki, as well as numerous varieties of sushi; from Whitefish Nigiri to Salmon and Tekka Maki. Lunch specials are some of the best bargains in the area. Review © 2007, Wcities |
