Joso’s // 202 Davenport Rd.
The interior of Joso’s might be strikingly familiar as you enter the restaurant. It is largely recognizable from the album art of Drake’s album Take Care.

Il Mulino Nuovo // 1060 Eglinton Ave. W
Mentioned on that popular verse from his song Pound Cake/Paris Morton Music alongside his other favourite Toronto restaurants, Drake is definitely an artist with expensive taste. Pricey meals with an old school Italian vibe, this place just screams luxury.
Lee // 601 King St. W
Another restaurant by his chef bestie Susur Lee, the 6God has been spotted dining in and visiting his good friend. The menu does differ from that of their collaborative restaurant Fring’s, as Lee features an Asian and French inspired menu.
The Real Jerk // 842 Gerrard St. E
The Real Jerk is Drake’s favourite spot for Caribbean eats in the city, and also the very same restaurant where the video for his hit single with Rihanna titled “Work” was filmed. This restaurant features karaoke nights, an open dancefloor and casual Caribbean eats.
Vivoli // 665 College St.
Noted as one of his favourite restaurants from as far back as 2009, this Italian eatery specializes in pastas and thin crust pizzas. Drake says the restaurant is like an "escape" for him.
The Cheesecake Factory // 3401 Dufferin St.
Okay well this doesn’t exist yet in Toronto, but opening at Yorkdale mall in the Fall will be the first Canadian location of Drake’s favourite spot for cheesecake. As infamously mentioned in his song Child’s Play off of the album Views, Drake raps, “Why you gotta fight with me at Cheesecake you know I love to go there.” This is going to be a busy spot for Drizzy lovers and cheesecake lovers alike!
