If you're craving something new for your next dinner out, then these spots are worth a visit. Air Canada enRoute has revealed its Top 10 list of Canada’s Best New Restaurants for 2022, and a Toronto restaurant took first place.
The venues were chosen by journalist Nancy Matsumoto who took a month-long trip across the country and dined anonymously at over 30 restaurants selected by a panel. All factors were taken into consideration when judging the restaurants, including "culinary vision," "quality of ingredients," and "team spirit."
"It's inspiring to see these restaurants make their mark with world-class cuisine while also leading the way on industry trends such as sustainability and workplace wellness," Andy Shibata, Vice President, Brand, Air Canada said in a press release. "We wish them all luck and success."
Of the top 10 restaurants, five are in Ontario, with Restaurant 20 Victoria in Toronto taking first place. The venue boasts a 6-course tasting menu and a bar area for à la carte plates.
Other restaurants on the list include MIMI Chinese, known for its four-foot noodles, and Fonda Balam, which was given a given a Bib Gourmand rating in the Michelin Guide. Perch in Ottawa and Hearts Tavern & Bar in Kimberley also made the list.
