10Best Mediterranean
Estiatorio VOLOS
(Restaurants - Mediterranean)
133 Richmond St W, Toronto  M5H 2L3 • 416-861-1211
Distance: ~0.587 km *
        Description: DOWNTOWN. One of Toronto's favorite places for fresh seafood, Estiatorio VOLOS takes you straight to the Greek islands, with stone walls, hardwood floors, romantic lighting and Grecian pottery accents. The food is equally authentic, in both flavor and presentation. Fresh herbs and flavored virgin olive oil, along with a deft hand at the grill, highlight the flavors of fresh sea scallops, halibut, salmon, calamari and prawns. For the person in your group who avoids seafood, there are a few vegetarian, lamb and chicken dishes, as well.

Biagio Ristorante
(Restaurants - Mediterranean)
155 King St E, Toronto  M5C 1G9 • 416-366-4040
Distance: ~0.919 km *
        Description: DOWNTOWN. Situated in the beautiful and historic St. Lawrence Hall, Biagio is among Toronto's finer Italian restaurants. Along with a 1500-label wine list, the restaurant has a well-rounded dinner menu that includes a number of risottos and wonderful seafood. Calamari is tender and sweet, and the seafood soup (with mussels, shrimp, clams and scallops) is a shellfish lover's delight. Try taglioline with brandy-flamed lobster, spaghetti carbonara, pesto-crusted salmon, osso buco, honey roasted rack of lamb, or a NY strip loin with caper-lemon-herb sauce. An excellent prospect for a summer date – the fountain-enhanced patio is ever so romantic.

Oro
(Restaurants - Mediterranean)
45 Elm St, Toronto  M5G 1H1 • 416-597-0155
Distance: ~1.320 km *
        Description: DOWNTOWN. The award-winning Oro has everything going for it. The elegant dining room has floor-to-ceiling windows, fireplaces and a classy color scheme – there's nothing garish about it. It fits well with the contemporary Italian-Mediterranean cooking turned out by the talented kitchen staff. You'll swoon over dishes like light-as-air gnocchi with butternut squash, confit and porcini sauce; truffled pappardelle; whole seabass with fennel salad; and grilled veal chops with roasted red pepper mash and caponata.

Splendido
(Restaurants - Mediterranean)
88 Harbord St, Toronto  M5S 1G6 • 416-929-7788
Distance: ~2.560 km *
        Description: DOWNTOWN. Softly lit, this elegant, intimate restaurant glimmers with mirrors and stemware. The kitchen creates singular dishes that marry local ingredients with a modern European sensibility. Decadent foie gras parfait with toasted brioche, Highview Farms rabbit pappardelle with wild mushrooms, and boneless black angus rib steak topped with green asparagus cognac and peppercorn sauce allude to the treats in store. Finish up with the daily sorbet or a plate of fine cheeses and dried fruits, and further entertain your palate with the diversity of flavors. Tasting menus, a global winelist, and praise from critics and patrons alike render Splendido a top culinary destination.

Joso's
(Restaurants - Mediterranean)
202 Davenport Rd, Toronto  M5R 1J2 • 416-925-1903
Distance: ~3.460 km *
        Description: MIDTOWN. As envisioned by entertainer-turned-restaurateur Joso Spralja, the décor here is deliciously over the top, and notable for its vast assortment of original artwork, which is sure to evoke discussion. The food, on the other hand, is decidedly unfussy, in the tradition of the Adriatic region. Seafood is grilled and dressed with lemon, olive oil, and salt and pepper, allowing the true essence of the ocean to shine through in all its briny glory. Pastas are consistently fabulous, even the non-seafood varieties.

(Restaurants - Mediterranean)
4150 Yonge St, Toronto  M2P 2C6 • 416-222-2220
Distance: ~11.465 km *
        Description: YORK. A quiet, elegant, cottage-style atmosphere gives this lovely New French restaurant a sense of individuality. The cuisine is superb, and the service is excellent. You might try roasted pheasant with seared foie gras, or Canon d'Agneau Rôti – a roasted lamb loin wrapped in Swiss chard with a Jerusalem artichoke gratin and lentil jus. As you would expect, Auberge du Pommier has an excellent wine selection with 500 labels to choose from, and desserts are not to be missed.
