Three Toronto steakhouses just ranked among the best in North America

Three steakhouses in Toronto just scored top marks, ranking among the top 50 in North America.

It's no news that Toronto is home to some of the best restaurants in Canada — and, some would even argue, the world — but, if you needed further proof, we just got it.

The annual list of North America's 50 Best Steakhouses has officially dropped as of Tuesday, Dec. 2, and it should come as no surprise to anyone who's tucked into a perfectly seared striploin in the 'Six, Toronto's restaurant scene is well-represented on the list.

Awarded by the World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants every year, the list grades restaurants on nine criteria, including the quality of meat, selection and variety of cuts, wine list, and interior design, meaning that those restaurants that land on the list guarantee an exceptional experience across all senses.

The first Toronto entry on the list ranks in at 13th place, and should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the city's steakhouse scene: none other than the endlessly lauded Jacobs & Co.

A few spots below in the 16th slot is Ossington steakhouse-meets-deli Linny's, which has been steadily drawing attention from foodies and awarding bodies ever since it opened in September of 2024.

Sammarco, the latest venture from Rob Rossi and David Minicucci of Giulietta and Osteria Giulia fame, rounds out the list's Toronto fleet in 38th place, but Toronto restaurants weren't the only Ontario entries on the list.

St. Catharines' Fat Rabbit also scored a coveted spot on the list, landing in 19th place.
