There’s no question that Toronto’s food scene is very diverse. From authentic Italian dishes to Nicaraguan food and Polish eats, the city’s got many different cuisines for you to explore. We have a variety of cuisines and what seems to be an endless number of restaurants across the city. This means that most places become unnoticed, although these spots are equally as good as those that have not fallen off the radar.
