5 Best Restaurants in Canada

Head here for perfect upscale pub grub and exceptional craft brews, served in a bright dining room or on their spacious patio. You can't go wrong with one of their hearty burgers or fries smothered in butter chicken, but there are (somewhat) lighter options, too. 

This neighborhood watering hole offers year-round beach-town atmosphere. The kitchen mostly deals in pub food, but (as the name suggests) the thing to get here is the BBQ—brisket, moist pulled pork, chicken wings, and tender ribs, available in sandwiches or hefty platters. Breakwall stays open late—a rarity in this sleepy part of town—in case you’re looking for somewhere to grab a pitcher in the wee hours.

The irresistible scent of smoky Texas-style barbecue from Carbon Bar’s wood firepit hits your nose the moment you walk in, instantly sparking your appetite. The spacious yet sophisticated and laid-back atmosphere sets the stage for a memorable meal. Ordering the Pitmaster barbecue platter is a must—it features five types of meat and is perfect for sharing with a group, or daring to tackle on your own. The friendly waitstaff are quick to recite the restaurant’s drinks menu, and they're proud to mention that Carbon Bar boasts one of the largest bourbon selections in Toronto, including a selection of Canadian whiskies. No wonder it's a popular hangout for after-work crowds and weekend diners alike.

The restaurant in the Delta Hotel has views across the poolside patio to the St. John River, knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff, and a nice atmosphere. Specializing in barbecue, the kitchen turns out delicious dishes like smoked pulled pork with a maple spice rub, bacon-wrapped tenderloin, and house-made bratwurst. 

This restaurant, located on the Smuggler's Cove premises, offers a whole pioneer town experience. The pub and grill deliver meals of outstanding quality in a roadhouse-style setting. But the grounds are designed as a fantasy pioneer town that celebrates Old West outlaws and the pirates and gangsters that fill the tall tales of the Burin Peninsula. A fun place visit for kids of any age.
