Fine Dining Recommendations

My husband and I will visiting Toronto, staying in Yorkville, for several nights early this September. I would love to hear about some GREAT restaurants. Price isn't really an issue, but good food, service, and ambiance a must. Chowhounds have always come through with great suggestions. Thanks in advance!

    Jamie Kennedy Wine Bar: fresh, local, unusual atmosphere.

        If Canoe is a must for the fabulous view alone and offers some of the best high end Canada-centric cuisine in Toronto. It's a very short (10 minute) cab ride from Yorkville.

          Also near your hotel and certainly fitting your criteria, you may consider Opus.

            i too am a big fan of george.
            near where you're staying is l'unita (at avenue & davenport)....great food & lively atmosphere.
            colborne lane is another good one.
            for very high end splendido & scaramouche are well received on this board.

              Thank you Chowhounds. I have booked George. I will also look at L'unita, and Colborne Lane. I checked out the menus at Spendido and Scaramouche and I really wasn't thrilled. It's a personal thang!

              I very recently went to George and had a lovely time. My report can be found here:
