Sukhothai
This northern Thai restaurant helped Toronto discover real Thai food and get beyond the generic pan-Asian joints. The flavours are spicy, bold, definitely not for those born to be mild. Snuggle up on the couch with Netflix, a pad thai, a chicken khao soi and a side of shrimp chips with the bursting-with- umami tamarind dip. Live near the east-side locations? They deliver.

The Burger’s Priest
Okay, so burgers and fries are probably the last thing you think of when it comes to Valentine’s Day dining, but when you’re staying in on a Saturday night, perhaps after some rigorous sinful activity, you want to just sit back with a High Priest (the BP’s version of the Big Mac), some fries and a beer or three. The Queen West one delivers via Hurrier. Just remember to put some clothes on when you answer the door.

Magic Oven
Can’t go wrong with pizza, wine and a few Blu-rays or board games, whether you’re just having a bunch of friends over or spending a quiet night with your darling. Magic Oven offers delivery and pickup and has it all: gluten-free options, whole-grain crusts, standard toppings and unusual ones like tofu, coconut, seared salmon, kale and mango. In case you need some starter tips, we’re partial to the Charcuterie Magic (pepperoni, prosciutto, salami, hot sausage) and the Mediterranean Magic (garlic spinach, roasted peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, feta, olives).
