THE VENUES 1. STK Not your daddy’s run-of-the-mill steak house. Toronto’s newest high-quality steak purveyor is also its most chic. The NYC-based chain opened its gorgeous restaurant in Yorkville a few months ago, bringing with it an ultramodern, jaw-dropping lounge setting and a truly luxed-up steak program.
2. FARMHOUSE TAVERN

Since opening in 2012 in the Junction Triangle, Farmhouse Tavern has established itself as a top-tier neighbourhood restaurant for those seeking a little escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. The restaurant’s rustic setting is more Prince Edward County than Dupont Street, and its seasonally driven farm-to-table menu – featuring a famous côte de boeuf steak – truly stands out.

3. JACOBS & CO. No other steak house in the country can boast a menu quite like Jacobs & Co., which prides itself on presenting the most highly praised cuts of meat in the world. Executive chef Danny McCallum works with cream-of-thecrop beef from Japan, Canada and the U.S. to create a critically acclaimed steak menu that remains unrivalled in its sheer versatility.
