A few insider tips

If you’re serious about fine dining in Toronto, don’t just pick the big names. Some of the best meals come from tiny places that focus on craft and creativity, like Bar Isabel in Little Italy or Osteria Rialto in the King West area. Also, try to go a bit off-peak , Tuesday or Wednesday nights can be less crowded, and you often get better attention from the staff.

One last tip: ask about off-menu specials or the wine pairing. There’s usually something the staff’s excited about that won’t be on the printed card. It’s how you find those little surprises that make a great night unforgettable.
