Three steakhouses in Toronto just scored top marks, ranking among the top 50 in North America.It's no news that Toronto is home to some of the best restaurants in Canada — and, some would even argue, the world — but, if you needed further proof, we just got it.The annual list of North America's 50 Best Steakhouses has officially dropped as of Tuesday, Dec. 2, and it should come as no surprise to anyone who's tucked into a perfectly seared striploin in the 'Six, Toronto's restaurant scene is well-represented on the list.Awarded by the World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants every year, the list grades restaurants on nine criteria, including the quality of meat, selection and variety of cuts, wine list, and interior design, meaning that those restaurants that land on the list guarantee an exceptional experience across all senses.The first Toronto entry on the list ranks in at 13th place, and should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the city'...

68 h. ago This new Toronto sandwich shop is hidden inside a convenience store

Toronto's newest banh-mi restaurant is the definition of a hidden gem: it's literally tucked inside a neighbourhood convenience store.Sandwich shops in Toronto are a dime a dozen, and that number only seems to grow by the day. Now, don't get me wrong: I am a sandwich fanatic. If it can be placed between two pieces of bread, odds are, I'm opting for that.So, when I say that sandwich shops in Toronto are a dime a dozen, I don't mean to suggest it's a bad thing, only that newcomers greatly benefit from some element of novelty to rise above the noise, like how Slammie Sammies is attached to a carwash, or one member of Tutto Panino's founder team happens to be Charlotte Day Wilson.They're not gimmicks, per se, and the sandwiches these spots serve are certainly strong enough to stand on their own, but sometimes it just helps when you've got an intriguing edge to stand out.In the case of Leslieville's so-new-it's-only-soft-opened Oi Banh Mi,...

5 d. ago This $700,000 Toronto house looks like it was marinated in cigarette smoke

We all know smoking is bad for our lungs, but if you've ever wondered what a Toronto home marinated in decades of cigarette smoke looks like, wonder no more — 102 Kalmar Ave. N is here to scratch that oddly specific itch.Listed at $758,000, down from $799,900, this detached, 100-plus-year-old Scarborough house sits on a generous 30 by 135-foot lot.But you might be too distracted by the walls — which appear to have spent the last few decades chain-smoking unfiltered darts — to appreciate the outdoor space.One of two bedrooms. Because yes, every surface inside this home looks like it's been lightly shellacked with tar and nicotine.The kitchen. The ceilings? Yellow.The living room and dining room. The walls? Yellow.Another room with built-in beds. The wood panelling? Like someone said, "What if maple syrup… but sticky… and forever?"The living room and dining room. And speaking of ceilings: th...
