Mr Poullennac said Michelin inspectors had been eating in the city since the spring. The selection of star-winning restaurants, however, did not surprise him. "It is all about what is on the plate, and these restaurants are considered the best in the destination," he said. The winners made history as the first to get a Michelin nod in Canada - a coveted honour that has roots to the tyre company's founding in 1889, but has since become a symbol of success and notoriety globally for the culinary and hospitality industry. Among the one-star winners are Alo, a modern French restaurant that has consistently been ranked among the best restaurants in the world, and Don Alfonso 1890, once named the best Italian restaurant outside of Italy. The Michelin guide has published its first Canadian edition, awarding 13 restaurants in Toronto its coveted stars.

2022 Toronto MICHELIN Bib Gourmands (MICHELIN Guide)

17 Bib Gourmands join the inaugural MICHELIN Guide Toronto, serving tacos, barbecue, and smoked meat.

He opened in 2018 and has been behind the counter ever since, building sandwiches out of thinly sliced, peppery brisket piled high on soft, spongy rye smeared with yellow mustard. The assortment of decidedly untraditional dim sum serves as a prime example, drawing upon a grab bag of international flavors, including French, Chinese and Korean. Order the thalis to see the breadth of this kitchen’s talent in one large, oversized platter featuring delicately spiced lamb curry, rich dhal makhani and a superb south Indian vegetable curry. What started out as a summer birria pop-up by celebrity chef Matty Matheson and former Quetzal chefs Kate Chomyshyn and Julio Guajardo quickly evolved into this brick-and-mortar where tortillas are made in-house. Sharing is paramount here, though on your own you could make a meal out of the salatim platter, which samples excellent dips like creamy hummus and smoky muhammara, fantastic falafel and grilled pita. This restaurant is as inviting as they come, radiating comfort and anchored by a marble bar that welcomes solo diners like long- lost friends. [Enoteca Sociale](https://guide.michelin.com/ca/en/ontario/toronto/restaurant/enoteca-sociale) [ ](https://guide.michelin.com/ca/en/ontario/toronto/restaurant/enoteca-sociale) Everything is smoked on the patio inside a redesigned shipping container and saucing is kept to a minimum. The menu is short and sweet, but still, how does one pick between the smoky barbacoa with jalapeño salsa and the flaky, beer-battered haddock with red cabbage? Red lanterns dangling from the ceiling and a ceramic lucky cat waving from the corner hint at the menu's intentions but the chef needn’t be bothered with labels. Whatever you do, save room for what is likely, the city’s best French toast. The very first MICHELIN Guide Toronto is launching with 17 Bib Gourmands spread across the city, from barbecue in Port Lands to Middle Eastern fare in The Annex.
