Toronto doesn’t always sleep — it just eats later. From neon-lit snack bars to bakeries that never close, the city has plenty of places ready to feed you well past last call. Whether you’re chasing something hot, sweet or fried at 4 a.m., these late-night and 24-hour spots prove that good food doesn’t keep office hours.
Midnight Market
Once you step inside Midnight Market, located on College Street, straddled between Kensington Market and Little Italy, you’ll be hit with elements of various Asian cultures, including an array of fusion snacks and baiju-infused craft cocktails. The night market-inspired bar will transport you to the bustling spots found in Asia. Glimmering neon lights and retro street signs adorn the space, evoking the energy of Tokyo’s old-world alleyways or Yokocho, which hosts many bars, restaurants and shops.
Commisso Brothers & Racco Italian Bakery

HanBingo
When the night runs long and you’re craving something warm and sweet, HanBingo has you covered daily until 4 a.m. This Koreatown spot is best known for bingsu — Korea’s shaved ice dessert once reserved for royalty — but the real late-night win is the comfort food. Think soupy tteokbokki, fish cake oden tang, corn cheese hot dogs and skewers you can eat with one hand while debating a second order.
Express Pizza
When the craving hits at 4 a.m., Express Pizza is there. Open daily until 5 a.m., this long-running Church-Wellesley Village staple has been fuelling late nights for decades. The slices are hot, quick and comforting, with good cheese, a solid sauce and no unnecessary fuss. Cash only.
Food & Liquor
A neighbourhood favourite that quietly comes through late. Food & Liquor is first a bar —good craft beer, solid cocktails, a cozy room and a back patio, but the late-night kitchen is the real bonus. Modern Asian-inspired small plates run until 2 a.m., making this a reliable stop when you want more than just fries. Think fried rice cakes, wings, dumplings and veggie-friendly options.
416 Snack Bar
Open daily until 2 a.m., 416 Snack Bar rewards late nights that aren’t in a rush. It’s walk-in only and proudly cutlery-free, with snacks designed to be eaten by hand and shared as they land. The menu moves easily across styles: East Coast oysters packed in ice, General Tso fu with crunchy tofu, Korean fried chicken glazed in gochujang and ginger and a pressed short rib with pommes anna that somehow feels right after midnight. There’s steak tartare on sourdough, a proper Reuben, spicy tuna hand rolls and a whole jerk fish platter meant to be pulled apart at the table.
LoPan
Open until 2 a.m., LoPan is DaiLo’s upstairs dim sum and cocktail bar, perfect for late-night snacking in Little Italy. The space is smaller and more relaxed than the restaurant below, with a menu designed for sharing. Expect yum cha–style bar bites like KFC popcorn tofu, General Tso crispy confit duck wings and truffle fried rice — familiar flavours with a playful twist from chef Nick Liu. The cocktail list leans fun and creative, including the Watermelon Yuzu Smash with vodka, yuzu sake, watermelon and basil, plus a solid lineup of sake, tequila, mezcal and whisky.
