The Best Caesar Salad in Toronto

The best Caesar salad in Toronto is typically defined by roughly chopped romaine hearts, crunchy croutons, parmesan, an anchovy-based dressing, and our usual Canadian fave, bacon. But this doesn’t stop Toronto innovators from constantly experimenting with these core building blocks to make this classic the flavour bomb it can truly be. 

Here is the best Caesar salad in Toronto.

The Caesar at this King West steakhouse is prepared tableside and features traditional fixings like anchovies, salt, raw egg yolk, Tabasco, Worcestershire and an abundance of croutons.
4 - 416 Snack Bar

Who says you need a knife and fork to enjoy a great caesar salad? This Queen and Bathurst snack bar’s eat-with-your-hands concept is a deconstructed delight of fresh lettuce, lemon, and a pile of bacon bits topped with cheese.
6 - Octagon

The Caesar salad at this upscale Thornhill restaurant is prepared exactingly at the tableside. Raw egg, lemon, anchovies, red wine vinegar, garlic and croutons are all combined in an elaborate waltz that's sure to result in one of the more memorable salads you'll eat.

The $14 Caesar at this Yonge and Wellesley gastropub is grilled, and the dressing is made with roasted garlic. It's also got baby gem lettuce, crispy pork belly and croutons.

Tons of anchovy dressing, parm, herbed croutons, and an enormous cut of grilled, single-smoked German bacon define the epic Caesar salad served at this Leslieville restaurant.

This popular bistro in the Financial District ups its salad game with a soft boiled egg that adds to the texture of a classic Caesar. Grana padano, bacon, and of course, croutons also top this lunchtime offering.
7 - Salad Days (Yonge and Bloor)

This Bloor Street spot fills you up on a dime with a Caesar for just $5.35 that tops a mix of iceberg and romaine lettuce with parmesan, bacon, croutons, cucumber, tomato, and for an extra hit of satisfying protein, chicken.
