Cuisine: Japanese

Why You Need To Go: "At the chef’s counter — an eight-seat oasis at the rear of the main restaurant — itamae Kyohei Igarashi’s omakase menu of 20-odd courses channels his extensive training in both kaiseki and edomae sushi, along with a taste of his travels," says Canada's 100 Best. "The cooking is disciplined and inventive, and the experience refined."

Bar Prima

Price: 💸💸💸

Address: 1136 Queen St W, Toronto, ON, M6J 1J3

Cuisine: Italian

Why You Need To Go: "Craig Harding and Julian D’Ippolito (Campagnolo, La Palma) opened this luxurious restaurant with chef de cuisine Nick Laboni (ex–Osteria La Buca)," says Canada's 100 Best. "Classics — tenderloin rossini, lobster fra diavola and spaghetti all’amatriciana — star alongside plenty of small bites that showcase seasonal ingredients. The atmosphere is old-world and comforting — a place one should dress up for."
