Yorkville is a district in Toronto that many people love when spending a night out on the town. There’s a certain “je ne sais quoi” about it during the summer months. Perhaps it’s the heat, the twinkly lights, the fact that everyone around you is suited up…it might even be a mixture of all three. We’re not sure, but we are certain about one thing; people love to wine and dine, and Yorkville is the perfect place to do it.

1. Sotto Sotto

A beloved Italian restaurant in the district which serves all your traditional Italian dishes including classic appetizers. Sotto Sotto is well known for their impressive wine list. Many people come here for the simple enjoyment of vino. Keep the antipasti coming!

2. Vittorio’s

Another restaurant packed with loads of delicious Italian dishes which are known for their “homemade” feel. Missing nonna’s cooking in Italy? Reminisce at Vittorio’s on their gorgeous outdoor patio that’ll make you feel like you’re back in Europe.

3. Annona

Known for their Mediterranean cuisine, Annona is located inside the Park Hyatt Hotel. Come on over, wine lovers! You’ll love wine a whole lot more once you discover that they have bottles starting at $20.

4. Il Posto

The one and only place where George Clooney was spotted in Toronto and the place where people still go in hopes of running into George Clooney. This place serves a mean homemade ravioli. Come have a glass of wine and be sure to practice your best “selfie” poses beforehand in case you run into any celebs.

5. Crème Brasserie

A French restaurant combining traditional cuisine and lunch time classics, Crème Brasserie has enough choices to satisfy anyone; and their beautiful patio that makes you feel like you’re on vacation. This hot spot is perfect for a lunch date or even a work meeting. It’s always happy hour somewhere, right?
