Where to eat, ranked

By neighbourhood

A search for somewhere “near me” resolves against wherever you are standing, so here is what each part of Etobicoke actually is.

Islington Village

Dundas West between Islington and Royal York — murals, old-guard storefronts and the densest run of good eating in central Etobicoke.

The Queensway

A long commercial strip that quietly turned into one of the city’s better value-eating corridors.

0 reviewed

Mimico

Lakeshore village feel, a strong Eastern European backbone, and cafés that fill up on weekend mornings.

The Kingsway

Bloor West at its most polished — the neighbourhood you book a table in rather than wander into.

Humber Bay Shores

Condo towers on the water with a skyline view and a restaurant scene still finding its level.

0 reviewed

Long Branch

The far west end of Lake Shore — small rooms, low rents and some genuinely good cooking.
