Best Steakhouses in Chinatown / Kensington Market

It was my cousin’s birthday and we had tickets to see the Moulin Rouge show right after. We let the gentleman overseeing our table know and he made sure we got everything in time and made it out early too. Everything was amazing. Tye was super patient and attentive, and made excellent recommendations for wine, food, and dessert. All the staff were amazing, kind, and helpful. The food was delicious and we can’t wait to come again. My aunt’s exact words were “best restaurant in Toronto I have ever been to”. Thank you Hy for making us feel welcomed and caring about our time even more than us.

The service from stepping into the building to leaving was excellent! They were polite and accommodating. Our specific server was excellent, just the right amount of chatty, to balance out the service she provided. I think I’ll be returning sooner rather than later.

I went to Aera ( in The Well ) with my sister who lives in BC and she wanted a rooftop with a good view. Aera is 38 stories and has an amazing view of downtown Toronto . We were at the Chef's counter and had a great views of the CN Tower. The host was great. She showed us two options for seating, where we were reserved and one more option. I had the mac and cheese which was delicious. They put mushroom and onion in it. And we each had a cocktail. I had the Amelia, I think it was called. It was tasty but quite small, that was the only thing. My sister's cocktail was a more reasonable size. The guys beside us had a cheeseburger and it looked so good! The service was great . They server was friendly and service was fairly quick . The restaurant is on the more pricey side and so are the drinks. But if you are looking for a great view of the city it's worth it. I definetly recommend and would go again.

Linny's offers the whole package. A unique and elegantly designed space with an atmosphere that takes you back to the 50's, paired with warm service and delicious food. We started with the challah service, which is baked daily and served with a delicious housemade jam that apparently changes with the seasons. After that, a few noshes; the fresh house salad tossed with bulgar and champagne vinegraite, king salmon served with crispy potato latkes, and the unexpectedly delightful kasha bows pasta, which was complimented perfectly by the addition of truffles. For our mains, we enjoyed a combination of perfectly cooked hanger steak, mushroom crepe, and the crunchiest fries on ossington. The cabbage with beemster cheese was also *chefs kiss* 👌 Our server Vanessa and the whole team was very friendly, and we can't wait to come back. PS. The babka dessert was incredible, but also try the apple cake with a scoop of their vanilla ice cream for good measure.
