There is a restaurant for every taste and every pocketbook in Toronto. This is a city that offers cuisine from just about any nationality including Chinese and other Asian cuisine, Italian, Greek and local entrees. You can find Toronto Restaurants that offer elegant dining, places that serve western style steak and fast food burger establishments that give a choice of cuisine and price. If you enjoy food, then Toronto is the place to be.

One of the most elegant and visible restaurants sits a top the CN tower and revolves a full 360 degrees with floor to ceiling windows for a full view of the city of Toronto. The name is, appropriately, the Restaurant 360 and it offers a moderate menu along with a choice of over 550 different types of wines from all over the world. This restaurant has won awards for the food but has won more for the novelty of being 114 stories above ground level. Reservations are advised and meals will cost about C$70 to C$100 and wines can go upward to over C$1000 per bottle.

Splendito Restaurant and Truffles are two other restaurants in the same prices range. Look for Splendito in the Distillery District where you will find the menu changes with the season and has many modern Mediterranean dishes. Choose from the regular a la carte menu or try the tasting menu where you get a sampling of many different entrees. Check out this restaurants wine list and you will be well satisfied. Inside the Four Seasons' Hotel you will find the award winning Truffles. Here you will find elegant French Cuisine and a great atmosphere.

Should these restaurants be too rich for your blood try some other less inexpensive where meals cost C$35 up to C$75 and the food is still great. Go to Canoe Restaurant and Bar to sample some of the best Canadian cuisine around where they use maple sugar to make their tempting entrees. They also use local produce and offer wild game as well. Look to Toronto Harbor and you will find this place that looks like it came out of the forest in style. Always have reservations before you go and don't go on weekends because it won't be open.

Want something quirky and Bohemian in style then go to Lolita's Lust in Greektown. Not only is the ambiance different so are the menu offerings including some unique meat and seafood dishes.

There are many budget restaurants that serve excellent food at excellent prices. Try Fran's in Midtown that is reminiscent of an old time diner. They give you platefuls of food for small prices and you will never go away hungry. Try the meatloaf dinner or if you are in the mood for a sandwich try a tuna melt. This place is open 24 hours a day and you can get the extreme breakfast any time of the day which will be a challenge to finish

Another cheaper place is Fresh on Bloor located on Bloor street where you can find healthy menu items from vegetarian to organic. The food is great and it also offers 40 sublime to the ridiculous juices that would rival any expensive restaurants wine list.

For those who are budgeting, remember to factor in taxes. There are taxes that come along with the food in Toronto restaurants including the 8% provincial sales tax and the 10% alcohol tax. Also watch for the 5% federal goods and services tax that will all come at the end of the meal with the bill. In Toronto you can find any cuisine for any price. The above eateries are but just a few in this city of great cuisine so pick well and find the ones you like the most.
