Can’t figure out where to take your clients for a lunch that isn’t the Salad Days right under the escalator? This guide is for you! Time to splash out your company’s client entertainment budget on some gastronomically excellent lunches. Even if you don’t get the deal, you’ll have gotten the meal.
The following places are formal(ish), so you won’t feel out of place if you wear a suit to work, and they’re pretty easy to get a reservation for and walk-in if something is arranged last minute. All of these are within walking distance of the Financial District core.
181 Bay St
Ki Modern Japanese Bar
The sleek Japanese restaurant is perfect if you’re trying to catch the Go Train to go home immediately after sushi and cocktails, sitting in Brookfield place, it’s sure to impress.
165 University Ave
Cafe Landwer
This Israeli food hub is another more casual eatery, but the food is genuinely tasty, and you get your money’s worth.
100 King St W
King Taps
The Canadian pub is big, full of beer, and has happy hour specials if you’d rather entertain your clients after work.
100 Front St W
REIGN
Located in The Fairmont Royal York, you don’t want to come underdressed to try the French-Canadian cuisine at Reign.
10 Temperance St Fl 5
The Chase
Located above the historic Dineen building on Temperance, The Chase serves fine dining in with some fantastic views and a seasonal terrace.
66 Wellington St W
Bymark
Owned by the McEwan Group, Bymark is nestled in in the TD Towers atrium and offers a seasonal menu and huge wine selection.
57 Adelaide St E
Terroni - Adelaide
Despite spreading their Italian cuisine all over the city, Terroni on Adelaide remains a fan favourite, and it’s a fantastic place to bring a larger group.
66 Wellington St W 54th floor
Canoe
Sitting on the 54th floor, the only place to rival Canoe’s views is the CN Tower itself. Their culinary offering is inventive, Canadian, and comes with a hefty price tag (good thing you’re not paying!).
The trendy Peruvian Japanese is both beautiful and expensive, so if you really want to splash out, it’s a great option to really impress your client.
For something a little more casual, Kelly’s Landing serves Canadian grill-fare and is swimming with sports screens.
33 Yonge St
Oliver & Bonacini Café - Yonge and Front
Think Italian, wood-fired pizzas, pastas, and a stylish interior.
Defined as an upmarket brasserie, the Belgian Bier Markt has over 150 brands of beer and some great burgers, perfect for a more casual client.
325 Bay St
Louix Louis
Impressively gilded and giving opulence, Louix Louis offers a French-American inspired menu.
132 Yonge St
Sud Forno
The elegant Italian eatery has a takeout-style casual café side, but the formal restaurant is where you’d want to take your client.
The only food-court option on the list, Chefs Hall (previously, Chef’s Assembly Hall) is a high-end food-court that offers multiple cuisine options like Colibri, Osteria Scossa, Pokito, etc. and has a full service bar and coffee shop.
56 Temperance St
John & Sons Oyster House
This seafood restaurant is pretty casual, but the down-to-earth restaurant serves classic but delicious dishes with some inventive twists, perfect for a seafood aficionado.
176 Yonge St
Leña
The chic South American restaurant is trendy, full of sunshine, and great for lunches and small bites.
