The best mussels in Toronto are a combination of excellent finger food, a great source of protein, and briny flavour. They pair perfectly with bread and fries as well as drinks of all stripes: frosty beer, fine wine, or classic cocktails. The best places in town that serve them source the shellfish thoughtfully, and offer multiple different styles of preparation.
Here are the best mussels in Toronto.
