How we pick

A restaurant is here for one of two reasons. It appears in Michelin's Markham listing for the Michelin Guide Toronto & Region 2026 selection. Or two or more public guides name it. Those guides are Foodism (January 2025), Diary of a Toronto Girl (January and December 2024), Ultimate Ontario (September 2023) and TasteToronto (January 2021). Canada's 100 Best Restaurants 2026 shows no Markham restaurant in its top 22. The Michelin listing comes first. The other seven follow by how many guides name them. Addresses appear only where the sources agree.
