If you're into authentic international foods, homemade grub or sizzling pizza, Toronto has got you covered.
King's Cafe
This Kensington district favorite is a picture-perfect patio restaurant that offers healthy food and a casual atmosphere to diners. Some popular dishes include the Beauty Spa Express, a beverage concoction made up of fresh spinach, parsley, apples and carrots. Also consider the tofu chicken drumsticks, a tasty option for those vegetarians and vegans who are looking for something savory. Price wise, King's Cafe is suitable for the budget minded.

O.Noir
The literal translation for this popular Toronto restaurant is "in the dark," which is precisely how patrons eat their food. With no lights, candles or cell phones buzzing, diners enjoy the ultimate tasting experience. The restaurant was opened by the same owner who opened a similar restaurant in Montreal. After popularity ratings soared, another opened in bustling Toronto. The ultimate goal of this light-less meal is to heighten the taste sensation and increase food satisfaction, a goal which, according to many, is accomplished.
