If you love fine dining — and pay attention to restaurant awards — you probably already know that you can find Michelin-star restaurants around the world, from small towns in Virginia and Italy to big cities like San Diego and Los Angeles.
In Canada, cities like Vancouver may be known for their international flavors, but you’d be foolish if you thought that was the only award-winning foodie town in the country. In 2022, Toronto received its first Michelin guide and became the first city in Canada to have one. Now, there are 12 cities in North America with Michelin guides, but Toronto’s total number of restaurants continues to climb, with 93 restaurants in the guide that span multiple types of cuisine, including Japanese, Mexican, French, and modern American.
