How we pick

A steakhouse is here for one of two reasons. It ranks on the World's Best Steak Restaurants 2026 list or the North America top 50 steakhouses list released in December 2025. Or it appears on two or more of these city guides: blogTO (June 26, 2024), Destination Toronto (October 18, 2024) and Toronto Tourism (updated October 23, 2026). The three award winners come first, in rank order. The other six follow by how many guides name them. Addresses are given only where a source states one.
