4 Toronto restaurants where you don't have to wait for the bill

Mar 29 2018, 5:16 am

Going out in Toronto can typically end up being a last minute affair. And in all of the rush and hustle of finding somewhere to eat, it can be all too easy to forget your wallet at home and leave yourself awkwardly asking your friends (or even worse, your date) to foot the bill for you.

But now the city is home to a number of restaurants where you literally don’t need to worry about bringing anything with you – other than your phone. It’s all because of Glance Pay, a Canadian-made mobile payment app that allows you to pay your bill instantly.

This eliminates the awkwardness of the bill arriving when you’re taking someone out for a meal, too. Simply take a snap of the receipt, choose your tip, and boom, you’re done. No more waiting or trying to get the attention of a busy server.

It’s simple: All you’ve got to do is enjoy each bite of the food you’ve ordered, and then get on with your day. To help narrow your choices, we’ve rounded up four restaurants in the city where you can use your phone to foot the bill.

The North Restaurant

Award-winning chef Marco Ormonde mixes new and old-world traditions to create incredible signature dishes at The North. You’ll find all kinds of elevated fare on the menu from small plates to steaks, seafood, and a tasting menu that’s worth all of your time. The restaurant itself is fancy with a casual ambiance, making it the perfect place to impress a date.

This trendy eatery was born from Toronto’s food truck, Buster’s Sea Cove, back in 2014. It brings everything you love about food truck dining inside with a maritime-themed menu packed full of fresh seafood eats like octopus tacos and lobster rolls. Fresh from the grill, fish fry, or a sandwich? It’s your choice – just don’t forget about the lobster poutine, okay?
