The Best Shakshuka in Toronto

The best shakshuka in Toronto is the delicious Maghrebi mixture of runny poached eggs, tomatoes, onions, and spices. This breakfast staple sometimes comes in in a halloumi-sprinkled bread bowl, though it’s usually a one-skillet affair. 

Here’s the best shakshuka in Toronto.
