Best Date Night Restaurants in Harbord Village

Michelin doesn’t disappoint. DaNico would be my top recommendation if anyone would like to try modern Italian in Toronto. A good contrast between textures and flavors. E.g., crunchy pine nuts against tender raw tuna; sour enoki against vermouth sauce. The execution of the cod and beef preserved the tenderness to perfection, thereby highlighting the quality of the ingredients. Service was outstanding too. The staff was both knowledgeable and personable.

Excellent food with good service at very reasonable prices.

This quaint little restaurant is one that should not be missed. Our server daniel made amazing recommendations from the sourdough bread with the chicken liver mousse and heirloom carrots were outstanding. For our mains we shared the seafood rice, the duck confit which were all melt in your mouth. And for dessert, we had the flakiest apple tarte tatin. Parquet is a must, we will definitely be going back.

The service and ambiance was great. Notable dishes were the challah and fluke and fennel. The fries were perfectly crispy and the broccoli was very flavourful. However, the ribeye was average, it lacked flavour but cooked properly yo medium rare.

Well deserving of its recent Michelin Bib status, and only after 10 years :). Very creative and excellent cuisine in a casual and friendly atmosphere.
