A Decade of Defining the City’s Dining Culture — Tickets Now on Sale for This Typically Sold-Out Event
Toronto Life’s Best Restaurants returns to Evergreen Brick Works on Monday, June 8, 2026, to celebrate Toronto Life's 60th year and the event's 10th anniversary with a bigger-than-ever experience for food fans.
As Toronto Life’s signature culinary event, Best Restaurants will welcome more than 1,100 guests for a one-night-only immersive tasting experience that defines where Toronto eats now, alongside the iconic chefs and restaurateurs who have defined the city’s food scenes over the past six decades.
“The Best Restaurants event is one of the personal highlights of my year. It’s an honour to celebrate the talented culinary creators who have made our city such a great place in which to dine,” says Malcolm Johnston, editor in chief of Toronto Life. “That it comes during Toronto Life’s 60th anniversary and the event’s 10th anniversary makes it all the more special.”
Presented by Uber Eats, which is also celebrating its 10-year anniversary, the event has become the definitive guide to Toronto’s evolving food scene, spotlighting breakout talent, celebrating industry icons and setting the standard for culinary excellence across the city.
Returning for its second year, Stella Artois will once again kick off the evening with the Perfect Serve Awards and VIP Reception, an exclusive pre-event experience celebrating the ritual and craftsmanship behind the brand’s iconic pour before the main event begins. A limited number of tickets for the reception will be released later this month.
New this year, Tricon will introduce an exclusive VIP lounge experience not only for their residents but for all guests, offering a premium space to gather, connect and celebrate throughout the evening.
