Best Restaurants in Toronto 2026 — Where Locals Actually Eat
Toronto is one of the world's most diverse cities — and its food scene reflects this magnificently. From the best dim sum outside of Hong Kong to Caribbean roti that rivals anything in Barbados, Toronto rewards those who venture beyond the tourist-friendly spots.
Chinatown & Spadina
Toronto's Chinatown is one of the largest in North America. Rol San and Sky Dragon offer the classic trolley cart dim sum experience on weekends. For late night, Swatow on Spadina has the best wonton noodle soup in the city.
