Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Beaches

Always a pleasure to dine at Earl’s. Great drink menu, really good food. Nice variety on the menu. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Reception staff are professional and friendly.

El Catrin never disappoints. The food was excellent. The service was exceptional. We had a group of seven for a holiday celebration with colleagues and they were very patient with us as we chatted and took a bit longer to order. The guacamole is so delicious! And the flight of margaritas was excellent. I shared with a friend. I had the blood orange and hibiscus which were so good. My friend found them a bit sweet. Thank you!

Income here because for not much more money than most other places you get amazing attitude-less service and impeccable quality standards. That said, $30 for a plate of Eggs Benedict might include a more generous amount of potaotes and perhaps even include a small side salad of frisée with sauted lardon and melted Gruyère on baguette. Just sayin.

It was perfect - they could do a bit of work on the entrance when you first walk in...it looks a bit dingy, industrial with an old looking elevator going up but as the doors open you are pleasantly surprised. They didn't have room at the bar and seated us against the window - which was OK too. Once we got to the main dining table, it was so nice! A very quaint comfortable and cozy environment. It was our engagement anniversary and there was a personalized note left for us at the table congratulating us, it was such a sweet gesture <3 Each food item was like a party in my mouth! With amazing fresh rich taste of all different types of flavours! We loved everything we ate. It was so beautifully presented as well, there was some items you just wanted to look at not and eat! The service was beautiful, it just flowed so smoothly, with each server explaining properly what was in each course. I think we had like 11 courses....they just kept coming! We loved every moment of it. This restaurant truly deserves a 2 Michelin rating. Looking forward to coming back :)

Terroni has been my favourite restaurant since 1995, starting at Queen Street. Always good and most importantly consistent.
