When it comes to great food there are very few cities in the world as good as this one, so we decided to create the ultimate Toronto bucket list for foodies. A selection of dishes so outrageously good that it would be criminal to come to the city and not try them.
They are the cheat meals that you’ve dreamed about all week. The treats worth forgetting about the healthy eating and gym for one day. You’ll be thinking about them long into the future.
So prepare to drool and get ready to get stuck into the ultimate Toronto bucket list for foodies…
Best Things to Eat in TorontoHow do these rankings work?
1. BBQ at Beach Hill Smokehouse
As they say, their motto is to “Rub. Smoke. Eat. Repeat”. Once you get your first taste of their succulent slow cooked meat you will like many others before you become a regular,
The mixed meat platter with a choice of three sides is the perfect way to treat that special meat lover in your life. Absolute sheer and utter perfection.
2. Breakfast Poutine Special at Dirty Food Eatery
They serve up meals that are so utterly delicious that you will instantly be planning your next visit. They excel at everything they do, but brunch is especially popular.
One example would be their breakfast poutine special: house cut fries topped with gravy, cheese curds, andouille sausage crumble and a sunny egg. Now that is a serious brunch dish!
3. Ice Cream Tacos at Booyah Inc.
For one of the best and most filling ice cream sandwiches in town, Booyah Inc. has got it.
Their ice cream taco – a waffle cone made into the shape of a taco shell and full of your choice of ice cream – is a common order at this place.
4. Steak at Harbour 60
Harbour 60 also offers a wide selection of seafood to go with your steak with larger-than-normal portions.
The ambience is modern, elegant and classy. For the adventurous eater, try their Black Truffle Steak and Eggs.
5. Fried Chicken at PG Clucks
There aren’t many sandwiches out there that will leave a sweet yet spicy feeling in your mouth. PG Clucks’ Jalapeno and Honey Fried Chicken sandwich will do just that.
With a mouth-watering patty of sweet chicken flanked on both sides by jalapenos, this sandwich strikes the right balance.
6. Pizza at The Good Son
This cosy neighbourhood restaurant does a lot of things very, very well, but it’s the pizza that stands out for us. Go for indulgent toppings of Smoked Pork Cheek, Roasted Pineapple and Scotch Bonnet for a real flavour boost.
7. Burgers at Rudy
Rudy has two locations in the city, so they’re keeping their super loyal customers happy. The menu is small and concise and if you want an extra bonus, a side of their pickles will round off an incredible burger experience.
