Best Authentic Restaurants in Yonge and Dundas Square

Our recent visit on Christmas Eve, to celebrate a special celebration, was nothing short of extraordinary. We extend our gratitude to every individual who contributed to the impeccable service that evening. From the thoughtful seating arrangement overlooking a vibrant display of fresh seafood, seasonal vegetables, and fruits to the attentive service that paired our meal with a delightful bottle of Petit Chablis Blanc, every detail was expertly curated. The evening culminated in a celebratory dessert of Greek yogurt, elegantly garnished with pomegranate seeds and mint—a perfect ending to a remarkable experience. Our meal began with house-made bread and olive oil, complemented by a refreshing tomato salad as an appetizer. For the main course, we enjoyed expertly grilled Balada fish accompanied by steamed broccoli and succulent lamb chops. The server’s meticulous walkthrough of the fresh seafood selection, artfully presented on ice, added an engaging touch, highlighting the restaurant’s dedication to authentic Greek cuisine. This establishment comes highly recommended, and we eagerly anticipate returning with friends in the near future. Notably, their thoughtfully crafted business lunch menu, designed to be served within an hour, is a perfect option for professionals working on Bay Street. A truly exceptional experience!

Great dinning experience, quiet and perfect to have a good conversation while enjoying your food. Food was excellent and staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely visit again.

When we arrived (for a birthday) we were originally sat at the lounge side which was a bit frustrating since I had made the reso weeks in advance. After asking the waitress to be moved to the dining side of the restaurant the entire night went off without a hitch. They quickly found us a better table and service was amazing. Quick, friendly and polite. There is a coat check service which is very handy in the winter season and the managerial staff are extraordinary, popping in to each table to see how things are going. Food and drinks were also amazing and the ambience had a great vibe without being too loud. Really enjoyed our evening at Daphne and we will be back. The service alone makes it a must visit for a luxury dining experience.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Khazana by Chef Sanjeev Kapoor, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The 4-course tasting menu was a true highlight, offering a wonderful variety of new dishes that showcase the creativity and depth of flavors Chef Kapoor is known for. Each course was a delightful surprise, with expertly balanced spices and fresh ingredients that left a lasting impression. The newly launched menu brought an exciting twist to traditional Indian cuisine, blending innovative techniques with authentic flavors. The service was impeccable, and the ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting. I had a fantastic time and can't wait to return to explore more of what Khazana has to offer. Highly recommended!
