“I have been singing its praises on this sub a bit too much recently because I want it to survive, but Eva Schnitzelhaus is hands down my favourite. It seems expensive on paper, but for the amount of food, I would argue its decent value, ” said r/had-me-at-bi-weekly.
“It’s also a really great brunch option in a pinch (lines everywhere else), assuming schnitzel is what you want for brunch (it’s been known to happen.),” added r/anemic_royaltea.

Another commenter simply said, “Trini To D Bone,” which r/neurosciguy2022 responded by saying, “I lived in the roti zone of Toronto for 3 years and I can confirm [Trini To D Bone] is spectacular.”
Of course, there was a shoutout for Canada’s best new restaurant, Marilena Cafe & Raw Bar too. “Marilena turned the Victoria scene on its head a bit,” said r/GuessPuzzleheaded573.
“Marilena is next level,” added r/Prince_Havarti.

Another commenter, r/runfastsquatharder, got even more specific, suggesting dishes such as the Cubano from Fresko, the oshi sushi from Oota-ya, the “crossing the bridge” noodle soup from Little Yunnan, and the tamales from MAiiZ, among more.
And, if you’re looking for the “best burger in town,” r/facedthemusic says Brasserie L’Ecole is the place to go.
