Vote For The Toronto Restaurant Every True Local Has To Try At Least Once

The nominees are in — so which one is most iconic?

Contributor

Toronto is home to a diverse selection of incredible restaurants, from life-changing gourmet dining rooms to your local hole-in-the-wall take-out counter — but there are some spots that are simply iconic to the city.

As this year of extreme highs and lows draws to a close, we're looking back at the dreamiest and most memorable meals of 2021 with the launch of Narcity's inaugural Toronto Food Awards.

Last month, we asked Narcity's followers and staff to nominate the city's best dining spots across five categories.

Now, we want you to spread some local love by voting for the best of the best from this year.

This poll is now closed. Thank you for voting!
