There a ton of delicious eats to sink your teeth into in the downtown core, but what about outside the big city? While the most notable spots might be at the corner of King and Spadina, or Queen and Bathurst, you can still find five-star fair in the outskirts.

A truly authentic Italian eatery that has been part of the fabric of Yonge Street & Highway 7 for years! Abruzzo Pizza has never lost its pizazz. They're still the best pizza in town - This coming from a guy who used to walk there in high school for a belly satisfying panzerotto.
I took a date here last winter after it was recommended to me by a best mate. It wasn't only the top notch food, nor the plating that caught our taste buds, but the ambience and superb service that stole our hearts. This place clearly stands out as a town favourite.
Chow down on some authentic, tasty, Hong Kong cafe food. Sip on their signature milk tea, and mow on some fresh Satay Beef, Ox Tongue or Honey BBQ Pork Collar and Egg on Rice.
