They say you eat with your eyes first, but in tech savvy Toronto it seems that cameras get first dibs. So what makes a restaurant Instagrammable? It's a combination of jaw dropping dishes, stunning decor, and lighting.
Here are my picks for Toronto restaurants that'll have you pulling your phone out at dinner.
Maha's
For such a small eatery, Mata has a big presence on Instagram. Perhaps it's because Egyptian brunch is a beautiful sight to behold, and mind-blowing sandwiches are guaranteed to garner likes.
La Cubana
It's almost impossible to take a bad photo in this sunny lunch spot on Roncy. Graphic placemat menus from Pablo Mozo (co-owner and principal designer at Arcade Agency) make for the perfect backdrop to enjoy brightly coloured plates of eggs, grilled corn, and guava-glazed short ribs.
Rock Lobster
Want a photo that screams Canadiana? Head to the Queen West outpost and beeline to the back patio for the perfect setting to shoot some HBC stripes and a lobster tail-garnished Caesar cocktail in a single shot.
Sud Forno
The pastries look as delectable as they taste, and everything about this place (from floor to ceiling) is photogenic. Fans of #ihaveathingwithfloors will understand.
Bellwoods Brewery
Congrats! You scored a spot on the patio. Now get snap of some charcuterie surrounded by beers, fresh cut flowers, and a pair of sunglasses.
Fresh off the Boat
This is one mighty fine looking quick-service eatery, decorated with jewel tones, graphic patterns and nautical flourishes. Not to mention, there's just something about a sandwich with claws that looks super impressive. #sriracha
La Societie
The restaurant looking over the Mink Mile is the place to see and be seen, and that includes plenty of page views by your legions of envious followers. Let them feast their eyes on seafood platters and luxe brunch plates before you dig in. #cameraeatsfirst
Colette
Scrolling through the stream of photos taken at this Parisian cafe and you might think only professional photographers eat here. The brightly lit room and beautiful plates make it easy for pretty much anyone to take a great photo.
The Burgers Priest
It hardly matters which location you visit, Instagram just loves photos of burgers - just ask @burgersTO. Prepare to juggle your phone in one hand while the other stretches itself around a prime beefy specimen a bun.
Buca Yorkville
Capture the artful plating in the brightest of Buca's three restaurants. The dishes are as beautiful as they are delicious and the room is stunning and sunny - especially over brunch and lunch.
