Toronto’s best French onion soup may be the perfect antidote to frigid weather. Built on a foundation of rich beef stock and deeply caramelized onions, French onion soup is fortifying comfort food in a bowl. Topped with good bread and bubbly, golden cheese, it’s a dish that’s much grander than the sum of its humble parts. Elegant enough to feel special, French onion soup is gooey and indulgent yet also feels nourishing to both body and soul.
As we embrace outdoor dining in late autumn, then winter, this is a dish we recommend you keep close at hand. For the best French onion soup in Toronto, here are the places to go.
