The back story
Toronto at the table: stars, Bibs and a city of many kitchens

The 2026 MICHELIN Guide Toronto gives thirteen restaurants One Star and none two or three, a selection that runs from French tasting menus to Mexican, Italian and five Japanese counters; its Bib Gourmand list is a map of the city’s neighbourhoods, from Chinese and Thai to Indian, Filipino and Georgian. Below we list the starred rooms, the Bibs we would send a friend to, the tables with a view and the market that feeds them all.
One MICHELIN Star
The 2026 guide stars Alo, on the third floor at 163 Spadina Avenue; Edulis, at 169 Niagara Street; Restaurant 20 Victoria; aKin on Colborne Street; Don Alfonso 1890 at the Westin Harbour Castle; Quetzal and DaNico on College Street; Enigma Yorkville; Osteria Giulia and Sushi Masaki Saito, a few doors apart on Avenue Road; Kappo Sato on Mount Pleasant Road; Shoushin on Yonge Street; and Kaiseki Yu-zen Hashimoto at 6 Sakura Way.
Bib Gourmand
The Bibs are where Toronto eats every day: Sunnys Chinese and R&D, Favorites Thai, The Cottage Cheese, Campechano’s tacos, Enoteca Sociale’s pasta on Dundas West, the Lunch Lady of Saigon, Cherry Street Bar-B-Que and Golden Horseshoe Barbecue, and Grey Gardens in Kensington Market.
Views
Canoe, high atop the TD Bank Tower, looks over the city and the lake; Scaramouche, on its hill above midtown, has, in its words, skyline views.
Book the starred counters as soon as tables are released; most take reservations online only.
The market
St. Lawrence Market’s South Market opens Tuesday to Sunday; on Saturdays the farmers’ market starts at 5am.
Our advice: eat the starred dinners midweek, and spend a Saturday morning at St. Lawrence Market.
