Beyond Toronto: Other Recognized GTA and Ontario Restaurants
Recognition extended outside Toronto, with LOCALE in King City and Terra Restaurant in Thornhill also appearing on OpenTable’s Top 100 list. LOCALE, celebrated for its Italian cuisine, received a 4.8-star rating. Terra Restaurant, known for continental fine dining, was rated 4.9 stars.

How OpenTable Ranks the Top 100 Restaurants
OpenTable’s ranking process is driven exclusively by customer reviews and data, rather than food critic panels. For the 2026 edition, the company analyzed more than 1.1 million reviews and dining data gathered between September 1, 2025, and August 31, 2026. Assessment criteria included overall diner ratings, proportion of five-star ratings, reservation activity, how much of a restaurant’s capacity was filled, frequency of direct restaurant searches, and reservation alerts set by diners. Only restaurants meeting a minimum review threshold and in good standing with OpenTable were considered; the list is organized alphabetically by restaurant name and province, not by rank.
Celebrating Canadian Dining Through Customer Voices
OpenTable's Top 100 Restaurants in Canada list is designed to highlight establishments recognized by real diners—providing a customer-driven perspective on the country's dining scene. Toronto’s strong showing this year reflects the city's culinary diversity, as well as high enthusiasm for the restaurant experience across a range of tastes and styles.
