These Toronto restaurants just scored MICHELIN Stars and Bibs

by OpenTable

Updated September 28, 2023

For over a century, MICHELIN has been the food world’s north star (pun intended) to the world’s best restaurants. The scope of the Guide now offers a wider lens than ever before—with a new constellation of cities and restaurants added to its recs, we think it makes for some pretty appetizing stargazing. Without further ado, here are the 2023 Star and Bib Gourmands selections in Toronto.

About the restaurant

Osteria Giulia sprung to life in our imaginations as a tribute to Italian traditions of the past.

We wanted to create one simple, beautiful thing. Somewhere outside of your busy life, outside of your surroundings, outside of time. An environment, an experience, an entire evening.

Osteria Giulia is intimate, warm and familiar. We’ve revelled in her every detail. We’ve established a rarified menu focusing on Northern Italian cuisine and delicate coastal, Mediterranean flavour.

Giulia is a new imagining of what an Italian restaurant can be. It always was the place of our dreams, the reason for our collaboration, and the culmination of—and conduit for—our collective passion.

About the restaurant

At Quetzal, we celebrate regional Mexican cuisine, inspired by traditional flavours and cooking styles, all cooked over a 28 foot-long open fire that runs the span of the hot line. Traditional moles, sauces and little-known native ingredients are transported to Toronto and infused with the bounty of local Ontario and Canadian produce, for a one-of-a-kind dining experience. Quetzal is located at the corner of College & Bathurst, at the edges of four Toronto hotspot neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Kensington Market, Harbord Village, and the Annex.

In both 2022 and 2023, we received the prestigious Bib Gourmand accolade from the Michelin Guide, making us the first fully plant-based restaurant in Canada to achieve such a distinction.

Every meal we serve is a tribute to the artistry and time-honoured techniques of Mexican cuisine.
Our commitment to using high-quality, traditional ingredients brings flavours to life in unparalleled ways. Each dish tells a story of dedication, honouring the cultural heritage while embracing a plant-based philosophy.

Join us on a flavorful journey where each bite is a celebration of artisanal craftsmanship, culinary excellence, and the rich legacy of Mexican gastronomy.

Came in with moderate expectation and a large group right after lunar new year, heard good things but never anything out of this world and honestly had a shockingly good experience. The dishes were a lot more complex than we anticipated, we tried the entire a la carte menu. The favourites were: * radish cake (exceptional) * parmesan tapioca fritters (exceptional) * pork wontons and noodles * char siu pork * charred miso black cod Overall everything was at least good with 5 dishes being great to exceptional. Great value for money, one of the best restaurants at this price point. Staff is attentive and super friendly, food comes out pretty quick. Only wish is a slightly bigger drinks menu (maybe more wine by the glass / sake)
