Treat yourself to a fancy night out in Toronto at one of these highly-rated restaurants that have made OpenTable’s annual list.
On Tuesday, OpenTable released its list of the Top 100 Restaurants in Canada for 2024. This year, the food service company looked at data from over one million verified diner reviews from Oct. 1, 2023 to Sept. 30, 2024. This includes diner ratings, reservation demand and percentage of five-star reviews, among other factors.
This year’s list includes popular restaurants Akira Back, Michelin-starred Alo, Canoe Restaurant and several others.
“This year’s Top 100 list celebrates the incredible culinary diversity throughout the country. Our goal is to provide the perfect restaurant for any occasion – for the holiday season and beyond,” Davis said.
“From local treasures like Dovetail in Vancouver, to buzzworthy spots like Matty Matheson’s Prime Seafood Palace in Toronto, the list for diners, by diners, has everyone covered, from coast to coast,” he continued.
According to its data, Toronto dining is up 11 per cent year-over year, and new consumer research shows over half of Canadians plan to eat out more in 2025 compared to this year.
“The Canadian dining scene is continuing to evolve. Canadians are breaking away from traditional patterns by embracing mid-week dining, which is good news for restaurants as these times can be typically quieter, as well as craving unique culinary experiences and group dining. The even better news – these trends are set to continue in 2025, according to new research,” OpenTable Canada Country Director Matt Davis said in a press release on Tuesday.
In Ontario, 53 restaurants cracked the list of best restaurants, with 36 of them based in Toronto. Meanwhile, the list included 16 restaurants in Alberta, 15 in British Columbia, 13 in Quebec, two in Saskatchewan and one in Newfoundland.
