Toronto’s top 100 restaurants under $100 as picked by the city’s top 80 chefs, Canada Reviews

Toronto’s dining scene has never been more expensive, but great meals don’t have to come with a triple-digit bill. To find the city’s best spots where dinner for two stays under $100, we turned to the people who know Toronto food best: its chefs. We asked 80 top local talents to share their favourite neighbourhood gems and value-packed destinations.

The result is our definitive guide to Toronto’s 100 best restaurants under $100.

1. OCCHIOLINO

“Think delicious shareable appetizers, some of the best pasta in the city and soft serve ice cream to finish.” Chef Roderick Tomiczek, Canoe

OUR TAKE: When the team behind two of the city’s most mourned favourites — Bacchanal and Campagnolo — takes over a mechanic’s garage, the result is bound to be sharp. Occhiolino (“wink”) is a collaboration between Luke Donato — once Drake’s personal chef — and Nick Manzone of the elite wholesale brand Pastificio Double Zero. They’ve stripped the space back to its bones — less flour and eggs, more wood, steel and concrete. The result is a light-filled concrete piazza that feels like a deliberate gallery, while the soul of the place remains unmistakably unpretentious “cucina povera.” Manzone’s pasta is the star split between “fatto a mano” (handmade) and “al bronzo” (extruded) varieties. A must-try is the zucca fritti paired with an Amaretto Sour — a sweet, and salty combo that perfectly anchors the restaurant’s balance of city edge meets Italian warmth. 499 Bathurst St.

2. Côte de Bœuf

“I love old school French bistro cooking, and there aren’t many places doing it like this anymore.” Chef Carolyn Reid, Scaramouche

OUR TAKE: Stepping into Côte de Bœuf is an immediate escape from the Toronto grey. Part butcher shop, part pint-sized bistro, this Ossington staple ignores the trend cycle for something far more durable: a zinc bar, a tiled ceiling and the heavy scent of dry-aging beef. Chef Teo Paul, an alum of Michael Stadtländer’s Eigensinn Farm and the Parisian kitchen circuit, has built a space that feels like it’s been there for 50 years. The menu is a tight list of French hits that rely on high-quality sourcing rather than kitchen gymnastics. The steak frites are finished with a peppercorn sauce that’s pure silk, but the duck fat fries are the actual obsession here. They’re crisp, rich and probably the best thing you’ll eat all week. For a bigger group, the 48-ounce Côte de Bœuf is carved tableside with beef tallow butter. It’s walk-in only and usually packed, so show up early, grab a glass of Burgundy and snag a spot at the window to watch the neighbourhood go by. 130 Ossington Ave.

3.  Comal Y Canela

“I’ve been going here for years; everything is made from scratch.” Chef Michael Hunter, Antler

OUR TAKE: There’s something special about a kitchen that treats food like it actually means something. At Comal Y Canela, “made from scratch” isn’t a tagline — it’s just how they do things. They grind their own nixtamal masa in-house — a labour-intensive process akin to a bakery milling its own flour — and you can taste that dedication in every hand-pressed quesadilla. Owner Yasmen De Leon has cultivated a space that feels like an extension of an abuelita’s dining room. The energy is easy and lived-in, born from a genuine commitment to the neighbourhood that saw De Leon running a food bank out of the back during the pandemic. The birria tacos are the undisputed stars here — balanced, meaty and paired with a consommé widely regarded as the city’s best. However, skipping the shrimp tacos or the complex, chocolate-noted artisanal mole would be a monumental error. Come hungry and trust the kitchen; you’re in expert hands. 1692 Jane St.

4. Bar Isabel

“It’s consistently great, always delivers, and I usually go for the tasting menu when I visit. I really like it as a way to experience the kitchen at its best.” Chef Rosa Marinuzzi, 7 NUMBERS

OUR TAKE: If 20 Victoria is high-art tasting menus, Bar Isabel is its cooler Mediterranean cousin.This Grant van Gameren stalwart has spent over a decade proving that “tasting menu” doesn’t have to mean white tablecloths and miniscule portions.The design is pure Old World tavern closer to a Barcelona back alley than a Toronto storefront. Here, the experience is bespoke, built on a conversation with your server rather than a pre-printed card. The ritual is simple: name your price point (starting around $85), point out your must-trys from the chalkboard and let the kitchen take over. On the menu you’ll find Iberian essentials — hand-cut jamón Ibérico, patatas bravas and the legendary grilled octopus that arrives citrusy and chorizo-spiced. To finish, there is only one answer: the Basque cake, a dessert alone enough to justify the restaurant’s Michelin-recommended status. 797 College St.

5. Maison T

“I frequent this husband-and-wife-run bistro with a simple, affordable menu and, most importantly, delicious food.” Chef Jackie Lin, Shoushin

OUR TAKE: Maison T is the definition of a “hidden gem.” A neighbourhood bistro that trades on decades of high-level experience rather than trend chasing. Opened in 2020, the restaurant is a partnership between chef Masayuki Tamaru, a veteran of Jamie Kennedy’s kitchens, and his wife Carolina Avaria, a former Four Seasons head concierge. Together, they’ve created a space where the service is as polished as a five-star hotel, but the vibe remains as relaxed as a Sunday dinner. Chef Tamaru’s French classics are infused with subtle Japanese hints that elevate the familiar. The Japanese fried chicken in dashi broth and the maitake mushroom tempura sit comfortably alongside a textbook French onion soup. For mains, the duck confit with sauce diable delivers crisp skin and tender, slow-cooked meat. In the summer, Maison T’s pooch-friendly patio is the place to be, but year-round, it’s the warmth of this husband-and-wife team that makes Maison T feel like home. 1071 Shaw St.

6. Donna’s ~ picked by chef Julien Bentivenga

Hypothetically speaking, if you wanted to be at a restaurant all day, for every meal, Donna’s would be the place to do it. It starts as a breakfast spot with sandwiches ranging in flavours from bacon egg and cheese to kale, egg and hazelnut. Then, the lunch fare comes out, in the form of different sandwiches, potato tortillas and lentil salads and veggie melts, and then, at 5 p.m., the dinner options come out. The vibe is bright and friendly (the fun colours say it all) which is perfect for the cheery neighbourhood and, of course, the patio.

7. Dotty’s ~ picked by chef Daisuke Izutsu

Jay Carter and Susan Beckett are here with the antidote for those who miss Dandylion. Their solution is Dotty’s, a bright, casual neighbourhood restaurant right in the Junction Triangle. Carter worked under chef Susur Lee at the beginning of his career in Toronto, both at the long-time chef’s eponymous restaurant Susur as well as Lee before taking over the kitchen at the former midtown landmark Centro. He then went on to open Dandylion, one of Toronto’s most beloved eateries before it closed due to the pandemic. Now, Dotty’s has arrived and is taking casual to the next level, offering up snacks, sides, main plates and desserts in a spot that pays homage to Carter’s mom, who owned a restaurant when he was a child. Think pimento cheese dip and casual beers and cocktails in a space so chill it doesn’t even have a sign.

8. Pai ~ picked by chef Tara Lee

Michelin-recommended Pai is run by celebrated local chef Nuit Regular and her husband and business partner, Jeff Regular. There are two outposts of the Thai restaurant in the city; the original restaurant, located at 18 Duncan St. opened in 2014, was named after a small village in Northern Thailand where the couple met. On the menu, foodies can expect delicious curries, including the gaeng kiaw wan (green curry), served with bamboo shoots, makrut lime leaves, basil leaves and coconut milk. It meets other Thai staples like chef Nuit’s famous Pad Thai, cooked in her house-made tamarind-palm sugar sauce, and the khao soi (fresh egg noodles stirred into a thick, golden coconut curry).

9. Restaurant Stop ~ picked by chef Eric McDonald

For something more contemporary, Restaurant Stop offers a refined take on Eastern European flavours with French elegance. The menu leans heavily on seasonal ingredients, with dishes like potato cakes topped with caviar or delicate veal sweetbreads paired with a rotating wine list. 

10. Som Tum Jinda ~ picked by chef Jonathan Wiliams

Although it arrives Michelin recommended from Thailand, among Toronto’s array of Thai restaurants, it had much to prove — and prove itself it did! Open for just under a year, the unassuming basement-level restaurant aims to offer Torontonians a unique Thai experience. Specializing in northeastern Thai dishes, the restaurant is best known for Som tum, a zesty papaya salad prepared using a mortar and pestle. In its cosy intimacy, an open concept kitchen is at the heart of the restaurant, adding to the overall atmosphere.

11. Beast Pizza ~ picked by chef Jon Rennie

What started as a temporary kitchen takeover back in 2022 has officially become a staple of Toronto’s west-end dining scene. Four years later, the culinary masterminds behind Beast—Scott Vivian and Nate Middleton—are still commanding the kitchen at Blood Brothers Brewing on Geary Avenue. The partnership has evolved from a pandemic-era pivot into a permanent match made in heaven, pairing the brewery’s signature craft pours with an expanded, full-scale menu of heavy-hitting comfort food. While Beast Pizza satisfies crowds over on Tecumseth, the Blood Brothers taproom remains the ultimate destination for their legendary, chef-driven whole-animal feasts.

12. Famiglia Baldassarre ~ picked by chef Evan Davis

The line starts forming at 11:15 for a noon opening at this culinary dark horse of Geary Avenue. Behind Famiglia Baldassarre’s counter, pasta-makers stand at a large work top, forming perfectly uniform squares of ravioli, totally unfazed as the front of the room fills with hungry diners who are just getting a taste of whatever they happen to be making that day, and it’s excitingly fresh, delicious and priced suspiciously close to market value.

13. Ardo ~ picked by chef Hemant Bhagwani

From a restaurant by the Tyrrhenian Sea in Milazzo, Sicily, to a rustic trattoria on King Street East, Roberto Marotta invites you to mange with him at Ardo. Growing up in Sicily, this professional chef came to Canada to build a new life with his Canadian wife and partner and found a way to make Toronto feel like home. Serving up traditional Sicilian cuisine, Ardo is the place to go and feel like you’re part of the family. Using local ingredients as well as ingredients imported from Sicilian producers, the menu brings you back to Sicily by the sea, especially with dishes like the insalata di mare, a mixed seafood salad that is so fresh, if you close your eyes, you might just smell the salt water.

14. Bar Vendetta ~ picked by chef Mona Sleiman 

Since opening in the former space of the legendary Black Hoof, Jen Agg’s Bar Vendetta has evolved from a buzzy Dundas West newcomer into one of the neighborhood’s most reliable, long-running institutions. Years later, the laid-back pasta and wine bar still draws a loyal crowd with its unpretentious, creative dishes and an expertly curated bottle list.

15. Martine’s Wine Bar ~ picked by chef Ciprian Gabriel Porumbacean

Grant van Gameren returns with Martine’s, a no-frills spot in the old Woodlot space. Dishes such as oyster mushrooms with razor clams and skate wings in amatriciana sauce reflect his shift to simple, ingredient-driven cooking. With chef Luke Haines in the kitchen, the speakeasy vibe and intimate setting make it a must-visit for those in the know.

16. Alma ~ picked by chef Jordan Diniz

This modern Chinese restaurant was recognized by both the Michelin Guide and Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants – neither of which are accolades to take lightly. Open from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Tuesday through Saturday, Chef Anna Chen’s eatery boasts a menu inspired from her Hakka-Chinese upbringing in India. There’s handmade pasta and noodles and a selection that changes often and seasonally, but there are also staples like pork wontons, radish cakes and noodle-based dishes that always provide the right amount of comfort.

17. Botham’s ~ picked by chef Kyle Rindinella

Botham’s effortlessly balances a cozy, dimly lit neighborhood pub vibe with an ambitious, ever-changing menu. While locals flock here for the massive 30-beer draught selection, the kitchen is the real draw. Beyond their famous fresh morning doughnuts and house-made sourdough, the kitchen serves up heavy-hitting comfort food, including a cult-favourite truffle pizza and a standout bacon cheeseburger topped with a fried egg. It’s a relaxed community staple that delivers upscale flavours without a hint of pretension — just be sure to arrive early before the pastries sell out.

18. Tiny Market Co. ~ picked by chef Craig Wong

Born out of a 2020 pandemic layoff, this fiercely independent shop has evolved from a scrappy pandemic pivot into a cornerstone of Toronto’s west-end food scene. Founders Erich and Danielle started with a residential oven and no signage; today, they supply fresh, hand-rolled pasta to the city’s top restaurants. Despite their booming wholesale business and coveted pasta-making classes, their mission is radically simple: stay tiny. Drop by the compact retail space for incredible fresh sauces, lasagna, and scratch-made focaccia — and expect to be greeted by name.

19. Corduroy Lounge ~ picked by chefs Olivia Simpson and Ricky Casip

Run by seasoned hospitality veteran Iain, this intimate, walk-ins-only Leslieville hangout has quickly become the neighbourhood’s ultimate go-to for flawless drinks and nostalgic vibes. The cozy space pairs a minimalist, ’70s-inspired aesthetic with a stellar soundtrack spinning from a vintage record player. While the tight, focused menu changes regularly,  standouts include a crunchy wedge salad, superb fish and chips, and a comforting Sunday Roast that regularly sells out fast. Pair your meal with a perfect classic martini or a custom, off-menu mocktail.

20. The Ace ~ picked by chef Lorenzo Loseto 

Steeped in history, this Roncesvalles institution has evolved seamlessly over its decades-long lifespan while preserving its unmistakable vintage charm. Originally a 1950s diner, the warm, intimate space keeps its historic layout intact, featuring beautifully maintained booths, striking vintage wallpaper, and a cozy mishmash of antique dinnerware. Today, it operates as a beloved neighbourhood bistro, drawing crowds with its mellow, jazz-tinged atmosphere and an ever-evolving menu of rustic, seasonal comfort food with a refined French twist.

21. Trattoria Taverniti ~ picked by chef Sergio Abrunho 

Trattoria Taverniti North brings bold Calabrese flavours to Dovercourt Village with cosy charm and rustic, exposed brick. This family-run spot, helmed by Rosina Taverniti and family, serves up heartwarming classics like gnocchi gorgonzola—hand-rolled potato dumplings in a creamy gorgonzola sauce with crushed walnuts and black pepper. Other must-tries include the meat lasagna, calabrese pizza and penne Rosina with n’duja and spicy soppressata in a rich rosé sauce. It’s Italian comfort food done right, served with real warmth in the heart of the neighbourhood.

22. The Hole in the Wall ~ picked by chef Remo Lobo

23. Le Paradis ~ picked by chef Karen Kim

This historic Dundas West gem continues to charm locals with its warm hospitality, comfortable booth seating, and a versatile menu spanning weekend brunch to late-night dinners. The front of the restaurant catches beautiful natural window light, while the interior features striking, vintage chandeliers. Though a few mains can be hit-or-miss—like a slightly under-seasoned bacon burger or a sparsely topped pizza—the kitchen shines with generous portions, excellent wings, fresh seafood, and a great veggie burger. Backed by highly attentive, accommodating service, it remains a reliable local go-to, especially for a solid wine selection, excellent desserts, and drinks with friends.

24.  Leela Indian ~ picked by chef Jordan Diniz

A staple of the Toronot’s dining scene, this vibrant spot strips away the predictability of standard takeout menus to offer deeply flavourful, playful Indian cuisine. The kitchen excels at traditional flavours with clever twists, using fresh, ripe tomatoes and charcoal smoke to create a richer, deeper butter chicken inspired by roadside truck stops in India. Other highlights include a unique paneer lasagna that swaps pasta sheets for thin layers of cheese and minced eggplant, plus Chinese wok-fried black pepper chicken.

25. Ramen Isshin ~ picked by chef Martine Bauer

What began as a single College Street location backed by obsessive noodle research—with the team tasting roughly 900 varieties before opening—has grown into one of Toronto’s most respected ramen institutions. Celebrated for its deep flavor and consistency, the busy shop specializes in rich tonkotsu broths alongside an excellent vegetarian version made from kelp and vegetables. Signature bowls like the roasted garlic ramen feature house-made oils and soy sauce, while the spicy tan-tan ramen comes with whole black sesame seeds and a mortar and pestle for custom grinding. Don’t skip the excellent chicken karaage and Japanese-style street snacks.

26. Danny’s Pizza Tavern ~ picked by chef Martina Soos

By day, this Little Italy pizzeria is the perfect spot for a family feast (whether it’s a special occasion or just a regular Tuesday). But when the sun sets and the candles flicker, it turns into a cozy date-night gem. Danny’s Pizza Tavern, which opened in 2022, already has that lived-in feel, with artwork and family photos lining the walls like they’ve been there forever. Alongside their irresistible tavern pies, you’ll find classic American diner favourites like juicy burgers, crispy chicken, fries and fresh salads. And don’t even think about leaving without trying their gooey, stringy mozzarella sticks — totally worth the extra cheese.

27. White Lily Diner ~ picked by chef Eva Chin

Combining a respect for local provenance with greasy spoon ambitions, the White Lily Diner has been breakfast, lunch, and classic diner fare from its humble Riverside abode since 2016. The diner’s all-day menu features a great range of shareables, including the buttermilk biscuits (served with jam or gravies) or the pimento cheese and cracker spread, as well as a selection of refreshing salads and sandwiches. The all-day menu also includes all-day breakfast with favourites like triple-stack buttermilk griddle cakes or the Southern breakfast (eggs, bacon, grits and gravy, fermented greens and a buttermilk biscuit) available any day of the week. Along with plenty of beers, ciders, and wines, the White Lily Diner also has a signature drink called the Breakfast Beer which mixes beer, grapefruit, lemon, and simple syrup.

28. Mattachioni ~ picked by chef Giovanna Alonzi

Somehow the Junction triangle has been gifted the dreamiest bodega there ever was. It’s the work of a former Terroni kid, David Mattachioni, who has taken his knowledge and run with it. There’s also panini (mortadella stuffed in house focaccia), dolce for sweet and, in true bodega style, groceries. Movin’ in.

29. Tondu Ramen ~ picked by chef Aldo Camarena

Steeped in historical spirit, this Little Italy destination takes its name from an ancient Okinawan port famed for cultural exchange. Originally launched at the Yokohama Ramen Museum in 2001, the brand brought its rich culinary heritage to Toronto in 2018. The bustling kitchen pairs exceptionally warm hospitality with signature regional dishes. Alongside delicious bowls like their rich pork-broth tonkotsu and delicate Shio ramen, the menu features unique Okinawan items like tender, slow-braised rafute (pork belly) and crispy gyoza.

30. Korean Village ~ picked by chef Ryan Baddeley

In 1978, Ok Re Lee and Ke Hang Lee immigrated to Canada with a dream of opening a traditional Korean restaurant in Toronto. Despite lacking prior restaurant experience, they became pioneers of Koreatown, representing Korean immigrants in Canada. Today, Korean Village Restaurant thrives in Koreatown, celebrating over 41 years of success. Although Ok Re Lee passed away in 2019, her sons Jason and Sean Lee carry on her legacy, serving authentic Korean cuisine. The restaurant offers a wide array of flavourful Korean dishes, accompanied by traditional side dishes called “Banchan.” With over 100 items on the menu, they cater to diverse tastes and preferences.

31. Cafe Polonez ~ picked by Danny McCallum

For over 30 years, Café Polonez has been a family-run restaurant in the heart of Toronto’s Polish community. The name comes from the French word “polonaise,” which is a ceremonial Polish dance similar to a waltz. Café Polonez is known for their homemade lightly-breaded schnitzel, alongside plenty of other authentic Polish cuisine such as herring and pierogis. Other Eastern European dishes on the menu at this affordable cafe include a specialty Hungarian-style potato pancake stuffed with goulash. At the back of the restaurant, a framed landscape picture pays tribute to Poland’s capital city of Warsaw, while the front exterior brick and street side patio give this cafe a truly European feel.

32. Dim Sum King ~ picked by chef Andrew Carter

I have been coming to this classic cart-service restaurant since the tables at the back were filled with old men holding chopsticks in one hand, a cigarette in the other. It hasn’t changed much. Large families with hyperactive children are still seated on the dais. There’s always a lineup after 11:30 a.m. on the weekend. And carts still rumble between tables, waiters occasionally pausing to lift lids on bamboo steamers filled with char siu bao (barbecue pork buns), har gow (shrimp dumplings) and cheung fun (rice noodle rolls). As options glide past you, it’s always a race to see if you will find your favourite dish before you fill up on noodles, pan-fried dumplings or lo bak go (turnip cakes).

33. Oddseoul ~ picked by chef Seb Yacoubian

A defining anchor of the Ossington strip for well over a decade, this late-night institution from brothers Leemo and Leeto Han masterfully blends their Philadelphia upbringing with Korean roots. Operating out of a gritty, industrial former hardware store — complete with exposed brick and old-school boomboxes — the vibe remains effortlessly cool. The kitchen dispenses heavy-hitting, late-night comfort food, famously highlighted by the bulgogi cheesesteak and “The Loosey” burger served on sandwich bread. Paired with spicy Korean chicken wings and inventive soju cocktails, it continues to be a legendary destination for noisy, high-energy drinks and snacks.

34. Maya Bay ~ picked by chef Tomer Markovitz

Bringing the bold, multi-dimensional flavors of Thailand straight to Cabbagetown, this vibrant neighborhood spot promises an authentic escape from predictable takeout. The kitchen delivers massive, generous portions that lean heavily into unapologetic heat and rich spices. While standard noodle plates can occasionally miss the mark, the menu shines with standout dishes like the crispy chili-and-salt pork belly, rich green curry, comforting Khao Soi, and soft-shell crab.

35. Susie’s Rise & Dine ~ picked by chef Ashley McKay

This charming Little Italy diner seamlessly blends traditional North American breakfast classics with nostalgic Asian flavours. Inspired by the owners’ grandmothers and childhood memories, the warm space features earthy jade-green tones, a lunch counter and a throwback soundtrack. The inventive menu includes highlights like a meat-forward Mapo Frito pie, a crispy Cantonese-style fried shrimp sandwich, and fluffy, golden-brown pancakes reminiscent of viral New York favourites. Backed by an experienced culinary team, it delivers a soulful, relaxed neighbourhood atmosphere built for comfort food and genuine connection.
