Best Authentic Restaurants in Financial District

Seating at bench tables was too close. Crazy high price for a glass of house wine!

I always wanted to have an omakase experience! Most experiences cost so much money, so I love that Sushi Yugen makes it so accessible. From the moment I got to the restaurant the staff were so kind and friendly! Their amazing service and hospitality made me feel so special on my birthday. Would love to give the chefs table a try in the future :)!

Once again, an incredible experience! I came from DC to Toronto for a few days, and of course, I had to come back to Daphne to try the lunch menu and hopefully see your wonderful manager, Amanda. I had a busy day and decided to go to lunch alone. Luckily, Amanda was there! She remembered me, exactly what she recommended last visit, and which dishes were my favourite — her memory and intellect are truly impressive. Based on what I had already tried, my palette preferences, and hunger level, she recommended two dishes for me, the Tuna Carpaccio and the Tomato and Persimmon Salad. Both were fantastic and satisfied my mid-day cravings. I left feeling energized and satiated. Amanda also checked in on me throughout my meal, keeping me just enough company, which I really appreciated since I was dining alone. The way that she conducts herself showcases a high level of interpersonal skills and intuition as she initiated the perfect degree of conversation, which is quite rare. A lunch experience is seldom noteworthy, but somehow Amanda finds a way to make it so. Thanks again for a lovely meal! I’ll be back on Saturday to bring all my friends to try the delicious food and to meet Amanda!

We love this place. We have noticed shrinkflation with food portions. It’s very noticeable. The only saving grace was that a side plate of extra Noble salad was delivered to our table in error. Allison said not to worry. The food tastes great and service from Allison was on point. Wonderful person who prides her self. Her attention to us while having many patrons was remarkable.

We went for dinner and celebrated my nephews bday, and the service, ambiance, history of the building and most importantly, the food was superb. We started with burrata and prosciutto, funghi salad, calamari and carpaccio.. all amazing, baratta was a crowd favourite, mine was the funghi salad. Second were the pizzas, we had the sausage pizza and the goat cheese aubergine pizza…. Simply amazing, third were the pasta.. the bolognese was so delicious along with the mushroom prosciutto.. just wow. And pls have their desserts! The tiramisu and the affogato were so amazing. Will definitely go back. And not to forget their incredible wine selection !! Must try
