Best Restaurants for Fun Midway-Style Fare in Toronto

Désolé, le contenu de cette page est uniquement disponible en anglais.

The CNE opens this Friday, so to get you in the mood for the festivities, I’ve gathered five enticing items that are as fun to eat as they are delicious. Just remember - you’re going to need a lot of napkins.

Stack

1
3265 Yonge St, Main, Toronto ON M4N 2L5

Stack’s BBQ is phenomenal, so it’s hard not to fill up on their Smoked Baby Back Ribs ($20/Stack Size $30), Texas Brisket ($12) and BBQ Pulled Pork ($12). But you’ve gotta save room for their epic dessert. Stack Donuts ($8) are mini doughnuts just like at The Ex, stacked in a tower, and then covered in your choice of toppings.

Wenona Lodge

1069 Bloor St W, Toronto ON M6H 1M5

Octo corn dogs ($7 for two) are the cutest hot dogs you ever did see. Cut halfway before being cooked, the slits of the organic dogs curl up, transforming them into octopuses right before your very eyes. Ever so lightly battered with corn, you taste the meat as much as the coating. Grainy mustard is perfect for dipping, but don’t be surprised if you don’t find you need it – they are mighty perfect on their own.

Hawker Bar

164 Ossington Ave, Toronto ON M6J 2Z7

Chef Alec Martin completely revamps boring ol’ bland tofu with his Chili Salt Tofu ($7.50) dish. Crispy, salty and spicy, it’s revolutionary - he’s made tofu into addictive snack that deeply satisfies. Crazy, but it’s true.

Sitting on the dock of the bay, or a patio downtown, or in the cool comfort of an air conditioned restaurant, nothing says summertime like fish and chips. Here are the city’s top 5 spots:
We are so fortunate in Toronto that we don’t have to wait for TIFF to arrive to get a sneak peek of Hollywood elite, supermodels and their ilk. If you want to star-gaze and get up close to celebs, head to these top 5 eateries in the city for VIPs and superstars.
One of the best ways to spend a summer evening is to catch a show. Whether you’re going out to a big theatre production such as Newsies or Kinky Boots, or you’re heading off to hear a performance by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Canadian Opera Company or Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra & Chamber Choir, you’re going to want to eat beforehand.
