The Best Places to Eat and Do in Canada

  1. Rank 801. Nook

    Italian


  2. Rank 801. Zoomak

    Modern Korean

    Zoomak calls itself a modern Korean tavern, which undersells the kitchen by a comfortable margin. The housemade kimchi alone earns its keep, showing up alongside crispy pork bossam and turning up again warm over steamed tofu. Korean fried chicken and pork belly fill out a menu where picking a favorite feels like a trap. The room is loose and friendly, the prices keep pace with the vibe, and nobody's making you feel bad for ordering another round.

  13. Rank 818. Cuchillo

    Modern Latin American



  14. A takeout window tucked into a North End grocery store, Espresso 46 is easy to miss and hard to forget. The owner moved from Italy with a mission: proper espresso culture, full stop, no filter coffee in sight. The house roastery supplies everything on the menu, and in summer the parking lot becomes a patio where locals caffeinate after their grocery run, which is convenient given the shared lease.

  16. Java Blend has been roasting its own beans in Halifax's North End forever, and the cafe wears that history without making a fuss about it. The menu runs from single-origin drip to flat whites, in sizes from a sensible 8oz all the way to a 20oz option that suggests a very long commute. Somehow it manages to feel equally at home to the pour-over crowd and everyone who just wants a large coffee, which is harder to pull off than it sounds.

  21. Rank 819. Ramblers

    Coffee

    The coffee here comes from Espresso 46, roasted a few miles away, which sets the tone for a cafe that keeps things local and unfussy. Ramblers is a full-service neighborhood cafe in downtown Halifax where the chess-and-latte crowd mixes with the croque monsieur lunch people without anyone seeming to mind. It started as a pop-up inside a cider bar and outlasted its landlord, which says something about the following it built.

  23. From the cafe steps you can see the Atlantic Ocean, which feels about right for a place that's been around forever and has no intention of changing. Steve-O-Reno's is an artsy, cozy coffee shop on the edge of downtown Halifax, pulling cappuccinos and macchiatos from Nova Scotia beans alongside a brunch menu that runs to fish chowder and Montreal bagels with lox. No anaerobic pour-overs, no rotating roasters. Just a formula that's held since the Clinton years.

  28. Rank 836. Chancho

    Mexican

    The hand-chopped-to-order carnitas are what people talk about, and the tortillas are made in-house, which matters more than it sounds. Chancho is a taco spot on Commercial Drive, bright and informal, with the kind of line that tells you everything before you've read a menu. The Vancouver Magazine judges called the carnitas near perfect two years running, which is a bold thing to say about a taco joint, but the room full of regulars suggests nobody is arguing.

  43. Rank 868. Black+Blue

    Steakhouse


  44. The old Model Milk Dairy building on 17th gives this lively restaurant its name and its bones, with an open, industrial feel softened by a genuinely buzzy room. The menu changes every couple of weeks, pulling from local and regional producers, so there's no such thing as a regular order. Desserts lean into the building's dairy past with ice cream making an appearance. The wine and cocktail list is well considered.

  48. Rank 870. La Banane

    French

    Leather banquettes, brass fixtures, and a room full of people who clearly planned their outfit around the reservation: La Banane is a French bistro on Ossington that leans into the romance of it all without apology. The kitchen plays with classic French forms, pairing one of the city's more ambitious raw bars with a cooking style that wanders toward yuzu and other detours. The banana cake with salted caramel ice cream has its own cult following.

  54. Surf photography covers the walls and the blue décor commits hard to the bit at this Hawaiian comfort food spot on Macleod Trail. The menu leans into plate lunches, poke, Spam musubi, and huli huli chicken, with tropical cocktails that come alcohol-free if you'd rather. It's the kind of casual, shareable-plates place where the servers know the menu cold and nobody's in a hurry to rush you out.

  60. A massive stone fireplace anchors the main room of this wood-paneled chalet steakhouse, which has been warming up Banff visitors in a 1930s building long enough to feel like part of the mountain itself. The menu splits its loyalties between Alberta beef and classic Swiss-style fondue, which is a more charming combination than it sounds. Come hungry, come in layers, and don't skip the cheesy doughnuts.

  68. Family-style Italian in Niagara Falls, where the kitchen sends wave after wave of antipasto, pasta, and pizza to the table until everyone goes quiet. Think of it as a buffet that comes to you, which is a more civilized arrangement than anyone usually manages at a buffet. Solo diners or smaller appetites can order from the regular menu instead. The send-off is a little box of biscotti for the drive home, which is a genuinely Italian move.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
