31 Toronto Restaurants Made OpenTable’s Top 100 List for Canada
Toronto has the most spots of any city on the new OpenTable Top 100 list for Canada. The yearly list came out this month, and 31 of the 100 restaurants are in Toronto.
That is almost one in three restaurants on the whole list. Ontario as a whole has 45 spots. Calgary comes next with 17, then Montréal with 13 and Vancouver with 10.
How the List Was Made
OpenTable looked at more than 1.1 million reviews from diners who booked through its app. The reviews were from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026.
It also looked at ratings, the share of five star reviews, how many people set alerts for a table, how far ahead people booked, how full each place was and how often people searched for it by name. The list is in A to Z order, so there is no number one spot.

What Diners Want Next Year
OpenTable shared the list along with a survey of 2,012 people in Canada. It found that 65 per cent of people plan to eat out as often or more in 2027. Many also want to mark small moments, not just big days, with a meal out.
“Canadians are planning to be more intentional when dining out next year,” said Eric Kemppi, Director of Restaurant Sales and Service at OpenTable Canada.
The survey also found that price matters a lot. About 82 per cent of people said value for money is very important when they pick a place. About 45 per cent said they would like more happy hours and deals. Most people also said they would rather go somewhere else than wait in a long line.
Date nights are also on the rise. OpenTable says date dining went up 28 per cent this year, with an average spend of $71.
What Happens Next
Many of these restaurants book up fast, and the holidays are coming. If you want to try one of them in December, it is a good idea to book now. You can check each restaurant’s page on OpenTable for open tables. The list comes out once a year, so the next one will show up in late 2027.
