http://bb33.sites.toronto.com/
One of the largest restaurants in Canada, the Bb33 Bistro and Brasserie is located in the heart of downtown Toronto, and offers two dining options. The Bistro is an intimate yet stylish place to eat, and features buffet meals. The Brasserie on the on the other hand, is casual, and serves up a la carte items. What is more, the menu is divided into four categories - 'Traditional', 'Seasonal', 'Organic', and 'Exotic'!

Brant House


Comfortable Nightscene
1 Brant Street
Toronto, ON M5V 1L7
Canada
+1 416 703 2800
http://www.branthouse.com/
As the name implies, the Brant House was conceived as a home away from home. At the beginning of the night it functions as a restaurant, and after dinner it transforms into a stylish party scene. The menu consists of many delectable meals, including Piri Piri Chicken, Miso Marinated Salmon, and Lemon and Parsley Infused Linguine. The Brant House offers large portions which are meant for sharing in order to enhance the social atmosphere. Shake a leg after dinner to the retro tunes played by the DJ. This is sure to be a comfortable and friendly place to have a fun night.

Epicure Cafe


Food for thought
512 Queen Street West
Toronto, ON M5V 2B3
Canada
+1 416 504 8942
http://www.theepicure.ca/home....
If Toronto's Queen Street West can be compared to Greenwich Village, then this cafe is the local equivalent of the spot where the artists and poets gather to discuss their creative impulses and have a reasonably-priced French meal. In existence since 1981, this cafe has been serving local customers before the area became hip. It also caters to the theatre crowd with both the Factory Theatre and the Theatre Passe Muraille nearby. The upstairs bar is open until 1a Tu-Sa.

Perigee Restaurant


Food or Art? You Decide
55 Mill Street
Toronto, ON M5A 3C4
Canada
+1 416 364 1397
http://www.perigeerestaurant.com/
For something different, try Perigee. It is the only restaurant of its kind in Toronto. Nestled in the historic Distillery District, the atmosphere in this renovated space is warm and rich. And smack dab in the middle of the room is the kitchen. What makes this restaurant truly unique is the menu - or lack thereof. You simply choose between 5, 6, or 7 courses and decide if you wish to have wine pairings courtesy of the in-house sommelier. Then, leave it up to the world-class chef (Patrick Riley) to delight you with different and delicious creations. Food or Art? Maybe both. -Nora Dunn

Rodney's Oyster House


Fresh From the Sea
469 King Street West
Toronto, ON M5V 1K4
Canada
+1 416 469 5225
http://www.rodneysoysterhouse....
For over twenty years, Rodney's Oyster House has been a seafaring paradise in landlocked Toronto. Here, it's all about seafood with fresh oysters as the main attraction. Explore the subtle properties of the oyster with a sample platter of up to 26 varietals fresh from Prince Edward Island, Maine, the Pacific and often further a field. Dressing each oyster can be enjoyably time consuming: beyond lemon wedges and fresh horseradish, Rodney's has a line of their own unique condiments: from the secret recipe cocktail sauce 'Sea Witch' to the perky 'Back from Hell'. For a not so raw seafood experience, try Rodney's New England or Manhattan clam chowder, Fundy scallops or coconut curried shrimp. The daily white plate special features whatever is fresh and seasonal. Beer and wine are chosen based on compatibility with seafood. - Andrea Stewart

http://www.rosedalediner.com/
Located in Rosedale on Yonge north of Davenport, this diner has remained a neighbourhood favourite for 20 years.
