The Best New Restaurants in Toronto for 2018

The best new restaurants in Toronto add to the colourful collage that is our food scene. This year, we got spots that pay homage to strong European and Asian traditions, from French and Korean to Peruvian and Cambodian.

Here are the best new restaurants in Toronto.

Paris Paris

This new addition to Dundas and Ossington proves that rosé all day isn't just a saying, it's what a lot of food lovers in Toronto want for real. Wine and food that goes with it is served all day in a wood-clad, skylit environment here.

Giulietta

The former location of Bestellen on College Street replaced the meats in their fridge with fresh produce to transform into this Italian concept that also features an open kitchen with a wood fire oven.

Parallel

This industrial tahini factory on Geary Avenue is now the place to go in the city for Israeli staples including fresh falafel, hummus and house made halva. It's also open during the day as a cafe and lunch spot.

Seoul Shakers

Korean snacks and teapot cocktails are a hit at this hideaway that’s popped up where Holy Oak used to be near Bloor and Lansdowne. They don't take reservations so plan on leaving your number and grabbing a drink in the 'hood while you wait for a table.

Le Swan

Jen Agg’s latest concept making over an old diner on West Queen West has proven popular, serving French bistro fare complemented by classic American diner food. Don't miss the steak frites.
