Tags Deals Food & Drink Karen Doradea Going out to eat isn’t always cheap, especially not in Toronto. An app, a drink, and a main will easily cost you over $30 at most restaurants in the city. But, that’s not the case at these delicious and affordable gems.
As a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and veteran of Michelin-starred restaurants like New York’s Eleven Madison Park and London’s Story, globe-trotting chef Marchelle McKenzie imbues a worldly outlook into her charming cakes and treats. Her brownies are dark, dreamy, and dense beauties offered in an ever-growing range of unconventional flavors: nostalgic malty Milky Milo, spiced cinnamon with hunks of sandy-sugared churros on top, and mellow matcha for a more sophisticated take.

Many successful restaurants that populate the city today are helmed by chefs who got their start at this one. Since 1995, Canoe has showcased the provenance of Canadian ingredients from coast to coast. The fancy enterprise calls the 54th floor of the Toronto-Dominion Centre home, offering views of the skyline and demanding high prices to go with it.

A portrait of Canada is framed in hedonistic creations like his intricate Pig’s Trotter: a compact porky cylinder stuffed with sweetbreads, lap cheong sausage, and wild shrimp from the North Atlantic, counterbalanced by a relief system of tangy pickled pears, salty spot prawn bisque, and grassy tarragon emulsion.
