Where to get tortas, barbecue, and fine French food in the Ontario capital
Today, Eater returns to Toronto, Canada to discover the newest drinking and dining destinations the Ontario capital has to offer. (Want to learn about the city's absolute standbys? Consult the Toronto Eater 38.) As like last time, freelance writer/food photographer Gizelle Lau offers her picks, and she notes that "the city has seen an ever-growing trend of communal dining" in recent months, "be it small snack-style foods for sharing or large family-style platters for the whole table."
Among those pioneering that emerging trend: Chef Patrick Kriss, an alum of Daniel Boulud's New York City kitchens, is dishing up five-course tasting menus at Alo, while his former boss has introduced a Toronto outpost (Café Boulud) serving whole rotisserie chickens for the table. That French fervor extends to other concepts like a Parisian-style bistro complete with bocce ball court (Bar Begonia) and a restaurant deemed the Yorkville neighborhood's best-kept-secret (Chabrol). And those communal vibes continue inside other hotspots like J&J Bar-B-Que, a Central Texas-style joint with massive platters of brisket and ribs, the boisterous sandwich shop Torteria San Cosme, and the "super-casual" taco spot Campechano Taqueria.
Here now, and in geographical order, the Eater Heatmap to Toronto:
