Financial District, Toronto
Toronto steakhouse opened in 2007 on Brant Street in King West; relocated in 2025 to 81 Bay Street in the Financial District, where it now occupies a fourth-floor space with a dry-aging room, a cheese-and-charcuterie cave, and a sommelier-curated wine list.
Best for Dry-aged beef, a dedicated cheese and charcuterie room, and sommelier-picked wine
Jacobs and Co. opened in 2007 on Brant Street in Toronto's King West neighbourhood, at a time when the area was still an emerging dining destination. The restaurant built its reputation on sourcing, dry-aged beef, and a dedicated cheese and charcuterie room alongside sommelier-led wine service. In 2025, the team moved to a larger, purpose-built space at 81 Bay Street, on the fourth floor of the CIBC Square complex in the Financial District. The restaurant has since been recognized in the World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants list in both 2024 and 2025.
Davie Village, Vancouver
Montreal-style poutinerie at 1215 Davie Street in Vancouver's Davie Village, opened by transplanted Montrealers. The menu runs to more than 40 poutine variations plus steamies and Montreal smoked meat sandwiches, with recurring specials like Sunday's ham-bacon-maple poutine.
Best for Montreal-style poutine with cheese curds and gravy
La Belle Patate is a counter-service poutine shop at 1215 Davie Street in Vancouver's Davie Village, opened by owners originally from Montreal who brought the province's poutine culture west. True to its Quebec roots, the shop makes each order fresh — hand-cut fries, fresh cheese curds, and a vegetarian gravy base — rather than working from one fixed recipe, letting the menu run past forty distinct poutine combinations instead of a single classic version. Beyond poutine, the menu keeps other Quebec diner staples: the 'steamie,' a steamed hot dog dressed with mustard, onion and relish, and a Montreal smoked-meat sandwich. Daily specials rotate through themes such as Philly cheesesteak poutine on Fridays and a ham, bacon and maple syrup version on Sundays. The interior leans into hockey fandom, with memorabilia on the walls and games running on the televisions, giving the small counter a sports-bar energy despite tight seating.

Karlo Estates crafts old-world-style, low-intervention wines on Danforth Road in Prince Edward County, selling bottles like its rare Sextus blend through an online bottle shop and a speakeasy-style tasting lounge. The winery is fully plant-based, pairing dairy-free cheese with wine tastings and events.
