Quetzal
Mexican
A ten-metre open fire pit runs the length of this sleek College Street Mexican restaurant, and nearly every dish on the menu answers to it. The undulating ceiling, designed to echo the tarp-covered stalls of Mexican markets, sets the mood before the food does. Tortillas are pressed to order from heirloom corn nixtamalized in-house, and the mezcal and tequila cocktail program keeps pace with the kitchen. It holds a Michelin star and a spot on North America's 50 Best Restaurants.
