The Best Caesars in Toronto

Scouring the city for the best caesars? The most outlandish, decadent and over-the-top monstrous creations? We've compiled a list of Toronto's best caesars. Whether you’re trying to cure a hangover or you simply want a drink to pair with your meal -- be it brunch, lunch or dinner -- the classic Canadian caesar has got you covered!

The typical caesar -- which resembles that of a Bloody Mary -- consists of vodka, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Clamato juice and to top it all off, a celery salt-rimmed glass and a garnish of celery stalk. However, most restaurants, bars and pubs across the city serve the classic caesar but with a twist. No matter what the variation is -- in terms of the garnish and spices of the cocktail -- these places are sure to help you quench your thirst. The only drink that is equal parts beverage and meal, here are our picks for some of the best caesars in Toronto.
