Best Toronto restaurants within a 5 minute walk of Dupont Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

There is a new management now! They are nice, warm people. The server greeted me, was generous with my order and also gave a free cookie 🍪! A good place for a quick lunch.

Great place on-campus for a quick lunch. Shoutout to the new management, who are really detail oriented and the food is fresh no matter what time of the day you visit; unlike the older times.

The client is not right here. They have a broken cash register and don't apologize that it won't spit out the right amount of change back regardless whether it's .5 cents short, it's not ethical to not return the exact change back. They do not have roast beef and don't offer pop fountain drinks (it's bottled instead). The management is careless and need more guidance and strength from a motivated manager. If this is Chartwells operated, contact me privately (my email) and I have more advice to offer.

Roti Cuisine Of India in Toronto, is a pretty decent Indian restaurant. A small and neat restaurant, and very affordable, considering its location. Looks like they are known for roti and curry more than anything, because I spoke to a European couple that specifically spoke about the roti/curry combination and they often come here. Vegan, vegetarian and non-vegetatrian dishes, appetizers, biriyani, and beer are available. I was here for lunch, had a couple beers with Onion Pakoda. Also ordered Aloo Gobi roti and mutter paneer rice. The food was very fresh, tasty but felt the quantity was more for me and too much curry in both the dishes. Overall it was a pretty good experience.

Amazing food, roti was hot, pillowy, and soft, chicken was amazingly flavorful. The biryani was also spectacular and had an intoxicating aroma. I wasn’t even hungry but devoured both!💯

This is by far the best Indian roti place in Toronto. Located close to Dupont Station (308 Dupont). Its a place you must check out at least once in your life. The butter chicken roti is by far the best. There is tons of other options on the menu. Service is very good. I order ahead on the way from work and the food is ready within 20 minutes.

This was once a gem but it's been on a gradual decline for years. Now it's nothing like it's former self. This used to be one of my favourite spots in the city. Now, I've decided to stop going all together. The dine in experience is essentially non-existent. You order at a Counter, they serve your food in to go containers and won't give you a glass of water. They make you buy bottled water. Not only are these policies poor for the environment they make for a terrible experience. The food is fine at best, portions and quality are not what they used to be. In a city full of good Indian food, I would pass on this place.

This has always been my favourite roti in the city, tastes great and being able to pick the spice level is important to me. However if you’ve been coming here for years you’ll no doubt notice the portion size has been cut in half. Even the cheap filler like potatoes are barely there For almost $20 per roti it really doesn’t feel worth it anymore.

I visited right after opening for lunch with a friend. We were greeted and seated right away. We browsed at the typical pub fare and I decided to go with a classic burger with fries. My friend decided to go with a poke bowl. I enjoyed my meal however it was nothing special in terms of the flavour and it’s offering. The poke bowl was not enjoyed by my friend and felt that he didn’t feel great after consuming it.

Went there on St Patrick's Day. The vibe was amazing and the drinks were good. It was mine first St Patrick's Day celebration and I liked the way they added green colour to their beers to celebrate the day 😍💚

The food was delicious, and the atmosphere and the service were excellent. It was our first time coming to this bar; I could feel the heart of the bar as soon as I stepped in. The decoration and atmosphere were excellent, and the space was vast. We ordered tacos and Cobb salad, and they were all very delicious! My boyfriend loves their fish tacos, and the salad was great! The alcohol is reasonably priced, especially their daily beer special: 14 oz is only for $4.50, which is a great deal! The server was so friendly and helpful, and he gave us some very nice recommendations for the food. Overall, the food, atmosphere and service were brilliant. We will be back again for sure!

We took our 14 month old in with us and she was greeted with smiles and laughs. The server was super friendly and never complained about a baby being in there. We definitely wouldn't bring older kids (3yrs max) as it is more of a pub. But for a quick drop in lunch it was perfect.
Lauren Ponto - a month ago

Came here the other night and it was a good experience. Our server wasn’t super quick/present but the bartender was helping out for some reason and he was extremely friendly. We got the Smash Burger and Fried chicken sandwich both of which were very good! Would not recommend the caesar salad but my partner got fries and they were tasty. Overall we left satisfied and will probably come back.

This branch is declining significantly and showing its age and lack of attention. I'm a Tim Hortons fan but this place is languishing, likely because this block of buildings is about to be redeveloped. 2 cappuccinos took a long time to prepare and were tepid. The chairs and tables looked worn out, damaged and not clean feeling. The place looked sad.

The pizzas are one of the best in the town. My 100% go to place for a slice of pizzas on a regular day. The service is good too but little cold dine in area as is right next to the door , although is well ventilated. The tables are most of the time clean and tidy. Not too busy too on week days.
Jaspreet Singh - a month ago

This pizza was sooo good. The chicken on top was so good. I'd love to try it with some rice. The chicken wings were mid but still good. Definitely will be back

I had walked by this business a couple of times and was always intrigued. I finally got the opportunity to eat here and it definitely won’t be my last visit. Let me tell you why Martino’s is worth the stop! Food: I was originally interested in the Asian Fusion pizzas. As you can see from the other reviews, they are a fan favorite! You can tell from the photos that they are very flavorful and unique. I decided to just get a slice of the Naples Margherita and I am so happy I did. The sauce was rich and savory. The way they heated up the slice was also perfect! I also love the variety of dishes they have: from traditional Asian eats to fusion pizzas to Italian pastas, there is something for everyone here! Staff: The workers here are so nice and I had a very pleasant experience with them! The person at the front was kind while answering my questions and attending to other customers. Space: There is limited seating here so keep that in mind! I came at around 7:20 and there was a good amount of seats available (3/5). This is something to keep in mind if you want to bring a big group. I also noticed that customers like to order takeout from here! The menus are easy to read and I appreciate that they had photos of their dishes up. They also have very cute figurines in front of the cash register and I thought that was a charming touch! Pricing: The cost of their food is very reasonable! I got my pizza slice for $5.10 plus tax (it was basically two slices). I found it super filling; consider the taste and quality, it is great value! Martino’s is an eatery with tons of character! I have friends who have expressed much love for this business and I believe that appreciation is deserved. If you want to try something new or indulge in a classic, Martino’s is a wonderful spot to go to!

This was a very interesting place (Asian and Italian fusion?). I tried both the regular Margherita pizza as well the famous General tao's pizza. The Margherita was, to put it simply, superb. The tomato, the cheese, the pesto; all the various small flavors easily makes it far superior to some pizzas I've had at some italian restuarants ( and I've eaten at many). I did not expect a fusion restuarant to produce such an excellent and sublime Margherita pizza that surpasses some new york style pizzerias but color me impressed. Unfortunately, I cannot regard the general tao's in the same breath. I ordered it because every review here seems to hold it highly and it seems to be the unofficial flagship item of the resturant. To be frank, I found the item too sweet with the sauce being too thin in consistency. The sweetness was overpowering any possible flavor profile present in the pizza and I couldn't detect any spice or umami; which was a shame, because when I seperated the chicken and sauce from the pizza, the base pizza with the peppers was delicious and cooked wonderfully. Overall, I think this restaurant is excellent, it is just that in my opinion the general tao pizza is a bit overrated and that there are far better pizzas on the menu for you to choose (unless you prefer pizzas that are very sweet, which in that case, go for it ). Edit: I think the General taos is starting to upset my stomach. Yea, I don't recommend it Edit 2: yea I found it difficult to sleep. My stomach was burning and hurting like crazy Edit 3: Unfortunately, after subsequent visits proved to be rather dissapointing. The taste do not measure up to when when I first tried. It's not bad by any means, but it's rather inconsistent which isn't something you want in a pizzeria

Had to try the General Tao pizza. Chicken was very tasty. We were worried that it would fall off the pizza but it stayed intact with every bite. Overall pizza was good just felt like something was missing from the pizza dough to make it a go to pizza spot. Definitely would go back to try some of the Asian dishes on their menu. Prices are pretty fair and competitive.

My husband and I have visited 4 times so far and each time has been pretty good and consistent. I am obsessed with the party fries, everything I love in one dish! We’ve tried all of their sandwiches/burgers over the course of our visits and they’re all pretty good. I think my favorite would be the brisket sliders. My husband really enjoys their signature backyard burger. Service is good, it’s a small place so your needs are always met and someone is always around to assist you. The first time I used their bathrooms was the last time I used their bathroom. I hope they have better bathroom cleaning standards since then, but I cannot comment as I’ve never used it since. Parking is tricky depending on the time you go, however it is right across the steer from the DuPont ttc station so it’s very easily accessible via transit. If you’re looking for a delicious halal smokehouse this is definitely the place to go!

Great place. Street Parking. Did not need a reservation Saturday at 5, but started to really get busy 630. We shared a Brisket plate $45, which was a generous amount of food. Amazing Mac and cheese but Our Brisket was a bit over cooked and dry. The table beside us said they always get the big shared sampler for a party of 4, it was a lot of food that looked wonderful. *They don't serve alcohol* great portions!!

Had my anniversary dinner at backyard Smokehouse. Tried their premium platter, service was top notch and food was delicious. The only downside is that the place is not spacious enough. Rest was all great!
Muhammad Waqas - 3 months ago

This is a great option for halal BBQ and smoked meat. The fries you see in the pictures were good - but I would prefer more sauce on them. The platter for two people was really good as well. Brisket was cooked well, and the potatoes, garlic bread and coleslaw were really good. The corn was okay - filled with butter but no flavour. The sausages were a no to me. Rubbery, dry, and lacking flavour. Finally the brisket sliders were the highlight. I would come back here just for the brisket sliders. They were out of this world!
Umair Majid - 4 months ago

The place had so much potential, unfortunately it was a let down. Not that many restaurants offer halal BBQ options, but they did so went there with high hopes. But didn't even come close to the expectations. Went there on. Tuesday evening, and at 6pm they didn't have anymore brisket, not sure how considering the restaurant opens at 4pm. The portion size was not great, patties in the slider was much smaller than the bun, and the hand-cut fries are simply frozen fries. Service wasn't great either, gave us a table where we could not get in or out without interrupting the next table even though I reserved ahead and plenty of tables were available. Would not recommend.

We reserved a table for 10+ people for a birthday celebration. We arrived a bit early, but were seated promptly. The food was exceptional (especially the whipped feta, hummus, fried chicken, eggplant, etc.). Service was top notch and everyone was extremely accommodating/friendly. The ambience was fun and relaxed. The chef was very welcoming and took her time to explain a few of her creations. Would definitely return again!

Fantastic service, would really love to shoutout the chef and staff who swung by and confirmed my dietary restrictions and ensured I’d have options. Great serving sizes, quick service and absolutely delicious food! Definitely will be coming back!

The Fet Zun Feast SO filling. I wish the chicken shawarma and braised brisket came out around the same time as the rest of the meal because I was already filled up on the pita by the time the meat arrived. There were lots of sauces to choose from and the falafels had a nice crunchy shell and was packed with flavour!
Serena S - 5 months ago

Fantastic family style experience and delicious platters fitting for both vegans and meat eaters! The group of 4 of us loved every bite. A big shout out to the friendly service staff that gave us stellar food and drink recommendations. We’ll definitely be back for more.
Nicole Ferreira - 7 months ago

You read all the reviews, but you won’t know how delicious the food is until you sit down and have a bite. From the Mezze to the entrees and the features, we didn’t know that it would get better and better. Highly recommend trying the Mezze Platter, the fried hallumi the falafels and the brisket entree!

The food was exceptional, and the staff, especially one of the girls working there, was incredibly sweet, helpful, and kind🥰. The ambiance inside truly made me feel as if I was in Mexico. The sauces, prices, and portion sizes were all fantastic. I will definitely become a regular customer there!🥰💕

This place has the best tacos! Everything is handmade and so fresh, and the portions are perfect. It’s my go-to when I don’t feel like making lunch or dinner. The burritos, quesadillas AND tortas are also amazing. The best part is the hot sauce which is actually hot with flavour! 🥵🥰
dee - 4 months ago

Just visited this cute little taco spot today. The tacos were so damn good! I love Mexican food, and it’s been a struggle to find truly good tacos in Toronto lately. All overpriced and overhyped for bland, greasy stuff. The tacos here were amazing, the tortillas are hand made, the meat is perfect and not excess with fat (as with some other taco places), really good flavour and hot sauces. Sooo good! Highly highly recommend!
Jwan Aziz - 4 months ago

Where do I begin? I'll try to do this without swearing. It is just so dang unbelievable how good this place is. Okay........ To begin with, I chose this place because they some how have a 4.9 rating. But after having visited, I think they deserve five. They must have lost a .1 because a customer was having a bad day. Anyway, not to sound biased, but it's simple food done properly with great service. I'm eating my sixth as I type this, AND it's cold. I'm gonna stop here you get the point. Go in, grab five of your favs and tip em well.
Matt Gale - 2 months ago

Looks like it's relatively new, I pass through the neighborhood more frequently now and I noticed it during after the normal lunch time. The area kinda lacks decent quick lunch options and I went for it. I went for the straight forward classic pastor tacos and they were nothing short of amazing. Home made tortillas, well seasoned well prepared and of course I coupled it with a Mexican coke. Nice lil place, reasonably priced for premium real mexican tacos. Will return

My wife and I had a great time celebrating our anniversary at Flor de Sal. The room with the fireplace really set the perfect mood for a romantic evening. The exceptional service and wine pairings made our meal even more enjoyable. We're definitely planning to return soon. This is the epitome of what fine dining should be. Bravo!

I love, love, love this place! I celebrated my birthday here yesterday, and I was satisfied 100%! The food was amazing! I had a whole fish with vegetables and potatoes. I requested a private room for my friends and I and it looked better than I imagined! The interior design and the ambiance was just perfect! Very cozy! The servers were friendly and attentive. No doubt about it, I’ll be back! Thank you for making my special day even more special!!

The service was exceptional. This is a perfect place for a romantic dinner. The Chef sends out a small tasting spoon to open the palate which is a lovely touch. Food was great, beet salad was delicious and the French fries were unlike any I’ve had elsewhere. The table next to us absolutely loved their lamb entrees. The best part of the meal was the chocolate walnut brownie with pistachio/truffle oil ice cream.

Love the pear salad and shrimp appetizers. The seafood medley (Cataplana) was good for sharing between two people. The sauce was very tasty and it would be good to dip in the bread or rice, but it was not serve with thar. The octopus rice was too salty and had too much sauce. The server was knowledgeable to explain the menu and recommend food.
W Wong - 9 months ago

We went there at the first day of winterlicious with a 5:15 pm booking. We are probably the first group for dinner... so the service was awesome! Food is awesome too, only Medley been considered as okay. We also ordered the Grilled Octopus, and we love it! The place is beautiful too!
