How this list is chosen: Restaurants holding Michelin stars, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.
Aburi Hana
1 Michelin star
Aburi Hana brings kyō-kaiseki to a lower-level room beneath Yorkville Avenue, where Chef Ryusuke Nakagawa's seasonal menus fold Canadian ingredients into a Kansai-rooted Japanese framework. A Michelin star and a 2025 Opinionated About Dining ranking among North America's top restaurants confirm the kitchen's position in Toronto's highest tier. Service runs Wednesday through Saturday evenings only.
aKin
1 Michelin star
At 51 Colborne St in Toronto's Financial District, aKin runs a modern tasting menu that draws across Asian culinary traditions, anchored by Canadian sourcing from Nova Scotia to British Columbia. The room pairs gold-leaf finishes with a four-seat chef's counter for close-in viewing. Past highlights include lobster cheung fun and char siu bao with Iberico secreto, dishes that treat heritage technique as a creative starting point rather than a constraint.
Alo
1 Michelin star
On the third floor of a Spadina Avenue building, Alo has spent nearly a decade accumulating the kind of critical recognition that reshapes how Toronto is perceived abroad. A Michelin star, consistent placement on Canada's 100 Best, and a recent entry on the San Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants mark it as the city's benchmark for contemporary French tasting-menu dining. The format is 10 courses, the sourcing is international, and the standard has not slipped.
DaNico
1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
Inside a former bank building on College Street, DaNico holds a Michelin star for Chef Daniele Corona's tasting menus, which move through seasonal Italian cooking with global inflections and luxurious ingredients. The wine program spans 595 selections with particular depth in Italy and France, overseen by Wine Director Julie Garton. It sits at the summit of Toronto's Italian fine-dining tier, alongside peers like Osteria Giulia and Buca.
Don Alfonso 1890
1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
Awarded a Michelin star in 2024 and ranked among La Liste's top restaurants globally, the kitchen runs an eight-course tasting menu that balances Amalfi Coast heritage with Canadian ingredient sourcing. The wine list spans nearly 5,000 bottles with depth across Piedmont, Tuscany, Burgundy, and Bordeaux.
Edulis
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred tasting menu house on Niagara Street, Edulis operates four evenings a week plus Sunday lunch, drawing on the great bistro traditions of Spain and France to produce seafood-forward, seasonally driven menus that have earned consistent placement on Opinionated About Dining's North America list and 94 points from La Liste in 2026. The table is yours for the evening, the phone policy is firm, and the Sunday lunch has a devoted following of its own.
Enigma Yorkville
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred tasting menu restaurant in Toronto's Yorkville neighbourhood, Enigma offers 6, 8, or 10 surprise courses shaped by chef Quinton Bennett's international training across South Africa, London, and beyond. The kitchen draws on global sourcing, Atlantic halibut, Australian wagyu, Nordic and Japanese technique, delivered in a format that rewards the curious diner willing to surrender the menu to the house.
Kaiseki Yu-zen Hashimoto
1 Michelin star
Kaiseki Yu-zen Hashimoto occupies a private-room dining compound within the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre in North York, offering Chef Masaki Hashimoto's eight-course traditional kaiseki menu built around seasonal Japanese ingredients. The format, no shared dining room, no ambient noise from other tables, places it firmly outside Toronto's conventional restaurant circuit and closer to the private dining traditions of Kyoto's machiya restaurants.
Kappo Sato
1 Michelin star
Kappo Sato on Mount Pleasant holds a Michelin star for a format that sits apart from Toronto's more formal Japanese counters: a high-motion, ingredient-driven tasting led by Chef Takeshi Sato, where Japan-sourced produce and house-made dashi define the pace.
Osteria Giulia
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Osteria Giulia brings Ligurian cuisine to Yorkville with a Michelin star and a menu that focuses on the seafood-rich coast rather than the usual pan-Italian repertoire. Chef Rob Rossi's uptown room, with its candlelit cream walls and blond-oak tables, is the kind of place that absorbs a milestone dinner without effort. La Liste ranked it among the world's top restaurants in both 2025 and 2026.
Quetzal
1 Michelin star
On College Street, Quetzal anchors Toronto's serious Mexican dining with an eight-metre indoor fire pit and tortillas pressed from nixtamalised heirloom corn. Chef Steven Molnar's open-fire technique draws on regional Mexican tradition while sourcing Canadian produce, earning consistent recognition from La Liste and Opinionated About Dining. The bar programme, built around mezcal, tequila, and reimagined Mexican classics, runs parallel to the kitchen in ambition.
Restaurant 20 Victoria
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred contemporary restaurant in Toronto's Financial District, Restaurant 20 Victoria operates a 24-seat dining room and front lounge under chef Julie Hyde, whose European training underpins precise sauce work and seafood-led tasting menus. Ranked in both La Liste's top restaurants (81 points, 2026) and Opinionated About Dining's North America list, it occupies a small but credentialed tier within the city's fine dining scene.
Shoushin
1 Michelin star
Shoushin occupies a hinoki counter on Yonge Street in Toronto's Lawrence Park neighbourhood, where chef Jackie Lin runs one of Canada's most critically recognised omakase programs. Awarded a Michelin star in 2024 and ranked among Opinionated About Dining's top restaurants in North America, the kitchen draws almost exclusively on Japanese-sourced product, with sake pairings that move in step with the progression of the meal.
Sushi Masaki Saito
1 Michelin star
Two Michelin stars and a consistent presence on Opinionated About Dining's North America rankings place Sushi Masaki Saito in a separate tier from Toronto's broader Japanese dining scene. Hokkaido-born, Tokyo-trained Chef Masaki Saito runs a strictly omakase counter at 88 Avenue Road, sourcing fish exclusively from Japan, a supply chain with no close rival in Canada. Reservations are essential and seats are limited.
