Steakhouse restaurants in Ontario

  1. Wellington Gastropub

    Although 'gastropub' sounds like some sort of British indigestion, this up-and-comer is luring foodies to the west end of town with a savvy selection of hearty meat mains served by tatted waiters. The menu rotates daily, offering up the best local produce with a pint of crafted microbrew.

    Cyrano's

    Follow your nose in Cyrano's, an enduring (since 1959) downtown bistro with red leather seats and a portrait of the nasally well-endowed Monsieur de Bergerac on the wall. Order reliably good salads, ribs or seafood offerings, or launch into the signature 16oz rib steak. If you're in a hurry, sit at the bar and graze through a quick-fire menu of burgers, wings and oysters, washed down with Creemore Springs on tap.

    Courthouse Market Grille

    You mightn't want to dedicate much thought to it over your sirloin, but Toronto's last public execution took place here. It's a distinguished 1853 building with fireplaces, leather chairs and marble floors – downstairs the bathrooms are inside old jail cells. Expect perfectly grilled meats and whole fish, and a wine list which, unlike the architecture, is cleverly cleft into 'Old World' and 'New World.'

    Harbour Sixty Steakhouse

    Inside the Gothically isolated 1917 Toronto Harbour Commission building, this opulent baroque dining room glows with brass lamps and plush booths. Indulge yourself in an eminent variety of steaks, salmon or seasonal Florida stone-crab claws and broiled Caribbean lobster tail. Side dishes are big enough for two. Reservations essential.

    Barberian's Steak House

    This classic steakhouse has been here for decades, and is regularly graced by hungry Hollywood carnivores like Sharon Stone and Edward Norton. John Candy was a regular, but let's not get into any morbid speculation… A New York sirloin will set you back $38. The only word to describe the 15,000-bottle wine cellar is astounding.

  6. JR's Bar-B-Q Ranch

    The western-styled decor fits perfectly with the town's general frontier vibe. The gorge-worthy ribs are so tasty, they might convince you to plan a second trip to Cochrane.

  7. E

    Prospector Steakhouse

    Appetites beware: you're about to be obliterated. Hefty carnivorous portions are dished out amid ranchlike curios. The infamous prime rib will give your arteries a workout.
