What type of restaurants are you looking for? I do restaurant reviews in the Toronto area and have all kinds of recommendations for you.

High end, low end, fun... what's your favourite franchise, dish???

Hi

I love the Green Mango on Yonge Street - If you like Thai food- this is an awesome place to eat

Enjoy your visit

"EAST", on Queen St. West between University and John St. has very good Asian food. Down John St. below Queen St. is Milestone's, Brasserie, Montana's...alot of restaurants to pick from. On King St. near John also alot to pick from , my fav is Fred's Not Here. I'm sure you could find all of the menus online.
Hope that helps !

Across from the theatre on King Street, I also recommend "Fred's Not Here" or "Hey Lucy". They are both side by side.

Le Brasserie is also good and is right around the corner. Try Googling any of these and you'll find a website for sure!

Marche Movenpick at the TD Building, a little further down Yonge Street. Probably about 5-10 minute walk. Has a little of everything, in a European Market style environment. Good food, decent prices, cool atmosphere.

City Grille at the the Eaton Centre is nice.

I like Alice Fazooli's
but it is a chain

This one is good too... it reminds me a little of the same setup as the Pepper Market at CSR... but better!!!

Le Saint Tropaz on King Street is quite nice. As is Venice, for Italian food.
Big Daddys is good if you like cajun, also too along John St, north of King there is Alice Fazooli's.
Alot depends on what your tastes are and what you are looking to spend.
The restaurants I mentioned have all been places that I have taken clients too and all have enjoyed.
If you like, you can give me more details on your tastes, and how far you want to go and I van give you more ideas.
A few years ago, Hys steakhouse under went a major reno and that is quite nice, but expensive.
Depending on how much time you have and how much you want to walk or travel, there is a great little place right near University and Dundas, that serves great steaks. I think it is on Baldwin.

how far is the alice fazoolis from the theater or toronto hilton?

 

[ferris198]

It is no more than a ten minute walk from the hotel.
The actual address is on Adelaide at John Street.
