Toronto Restaurants, This City Has Anything You Desire

Toronto restaurants run the gambit from expensive and elegant to budget and eat on the run. They are truly an international city with representation of cuisines from many parts of the world including Italian, Asian, Greek, and their own Canadian style of cooking. There are steakhouses and burger joints giving patrons a little bit of everything for a variety of prices. If you enjoy food, then Toronto is the place to be.

The CN tower is about 114 stories above the ground in Toronto and houses an elegant restaurant called Restaurant 360. This restaurant revolves to give you a floor to ceiling view of the city. The items on the menu will cost anywhere from C$75 to C$100 but the wine list is what people come for along with the view. There are over 550 international wines on their list that can cost upwards of C$1000. Don’t forget to make reservations as it is difficult to get into if you don’t.

If you want to impress someone take them to either Splendito or Truffles for meals that may cost over C$100. Find Splendito in the Distillery District.
