Best Toronto food photos, December 17 to 23

Toronto is among the most vibrant cities in the world when it comes to food.

An abundance of local farms, market culture, globally-influenced cuisines, and top-tier chefs and restaurants has positioned the 6ix as a haven for foodies.

With so many delicious encounters shared via Instagram, we’re taking a turn sharing the images our readers are posting. (PS: We’re also sharing some of our photos over on Instagram at @dailyhivefood – come join us!)

Tag your Toronto food photos #dailyhiveto and you might see your last meal in our next post!

An oden meal tonight with some awesome peeps!

Welcome to sashimi island. Where silky, fresh, raw fish is eaten out of mini boxes – weirdly making everything taste even better… @kensushihouse #sushi #raw #sashimi #fresh #fish #dinner #sunday #seafood

That awkward moment when someone texts you to ask if you mind if they have a bite of your sammie and you reply with IDGAF. Clearly they don't know that it means IDontGiveAwayFood. #AskMeWhatIDGAFReallyMeans

@sincerelykn can’t keep her hands off the sushi …and actually, neither can I when it’s literally the most exquisite sushi I’ve had in my entire life! We were treated to @mikutoronto’s 5-course New Year’s Eve menu yesterday afternoon. Each course was plated to perfection and absolutely delicious. It’s so hard to pick favourites, but their signature sushi selection (salmon oshi, ebi oshi, red wave roll, aburi kanpachi, wagyu beef & snow crab with uni nigiri) was simply outstanding! If you don’t already have special dinner plans for NYE, you need to make your reservation at @mikutoronto (your significant other will thank you)! 🍣🍶 – #mikutoronto #miku #sushilovers #sushiporn #sushitime #beautifulcuisines #onthetable #onmyplate #foodinhands #handsinframe #foodphotography #foodstyling #tablesituation #gastropost #foodto #foodtoronto #foodpornto #torontofood #tofood #blogto #to_finest #toreats #torontofoodies #narcitytoronto #foodiesto #foodiestoronto #tastetoronto #torontoeats #toeats #fromabove

Getting a head start on New Yeas resolutions at @thebasilbox's new location at Queen and Spadina.

Cozy up to something very KIWI this weekend ! Lamingtons are delicious squares of soft vanilla cake, dipped in a chocolatey syrup or jelly, then rolled in delicate coconut. These delightful little treats are sweet as, mate! Pick these up at our Roncesvalles location! #Lamington #kiwi #cake #holiday #roncey

Comfort food like the @hollandaisediner 's Meatloaf Benny – two perfectly poached eggs on top of two slices of meatloaf and ketchup glaze.
