In Toronto for the weekend, any good places to eat at if I want food I can't get outside Canada?

Had that this morning senpai
Smokes for poutine. It's not the best you can have, but it will do.
Toronto is more of a place to get ethnic foods. Lots of good Vietnamese, Jamaican, Korean, Sri Lankan, Hakka, etc. restaurants depending on what you are interested in.
You could go to parts and labour. Chef Matty Matheson may even squeeze a fart onto your burger if you ask nice.

If you want a good meal theres a few good places. Bar isabel, its overrated but sometimes they do good food. Barbariens and jacobs and co are great steak houses, top notch food/wine/service. Lee is still a pretty good restaurant, you might even see that fag suser lee swinging his hair around wildly at the pass. Best seafood in the city is probably hopgoods foodliner, although zee grill and the chase fish and oyster are probably better, with rodneys, starfish and oysterboy coming up in 3rd place. There is unfortunately no good place to go for food really late at night but there are a bunch of hipstery bars that serve snacks. Cava is a great spanish restaurant, Grano is a great italian restaurant(as well as Mistura), and if your right down town you can always get a good steak frites at biffs bistro.
Theres a lot of good places in the city just look up open table top 100. Nothing will blow your fucking socks off, but theres some definate good eats.
Bonus round, scaramoush has been the highest rated restaurant in the city for some time.

yeah... I've been told to stay away from Smokes. If you've actually been though and say that it's not bad, then why not? When I've been to Toronto, I normally just walk around and go wherever is interesting. I remember ducking into a crepe shop once when I was like twelve with my family, and then being downtown in Toronto again just last summer for a couple of days to myself, and I was walking around and ended up ducking into a crepe shop that looked nice... and turned out to be the same crepe shop. Owned by a French woman, with the help of some, I assume, family, I ended up being served by some total QT's. If I recall, google has pointed me to crepes a gogo, but it seems to have been bought up by somebody, so it could be different now.

There's a poutineville in Toronto near Spadina station it's better than smokes.

this, seriously. It got crazy good the past few years. If you're gonna get fast food at all during your trip get a burger and onion rings.

Not really, desu. Toronto is either A. Asian food, B. Overpriced hipster places for "foodies", or C. Anywhere else, which will have a kitchen full of apathetic Sri Lankans who can't cook and will sell you toasted hot dog buns with store bought garlic butter as garlic bread.
Go to KFC. Get yourself some buttery bread.

pretty uninformed post m8. There are a ton of shitty corps and pubs full of sri lankans, but no real kitchen hires them outside of dishwashing since most of them just blast out food and never taste anything.

Just my experience, bro. Lived in this city for 33 years, and I see that shit way too often. On the surface, Toronto LOOKS like a gourmet paradise, in reality, I've found most of the food here to be very mediocre.
I do travel a ton, though, so maybe I'm weighing it against other places a little harshly. I do generally hate this city, so I may be biased.
