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

Love this spot, I live in the neighbourhood and this is a gem! Super fresh and tastey food, affordable prices, and the staff and owners are friendly The patio right across from High Park is great for people watching too. Would highly recommend the nachos- (the toppings are layered between the chips), and the fish tacos are really good. Two of us shared the nachos and an order of fish tacos (they come with 4), and we were satisfied. Add a few tequila shots and Corona's, and it's definitely a nice evening!

Fish tacos was really enjoyable. Side patio is also very cute. Need to come back to try other items on the menu. The decor could be more bright and attractive.

Thirty minutes before closing time in mid-Dec, I had the pleasure of trying their mixed tacos and flautas with a margarita. The owner of the restaurant was quite pleasant and surprised us with delicious and generous servings of goodness. I will be back at the next opportunity to try other items. It would be a lovely spot in the Summer with High Park across the street.

Located in a prime location near High Park, this restaurant is easily accessible. Upon entering, the atmosphere may seem a bit subdued due to the dim lighting. However, the staff is highly welcoming and attentive to the guests. The menu offers a variety of options, including Mixed Tacos and Barbacoa Tacos. While the Mixed Tacos had a slightly runny and soggy consistency, the Barbacoa Tacos were satisfactory. It is important to note that I experienced food poisoning after my meal, which may indicate a need for improved food handling and safety measures. As for the overall ambiance, the presence of numerous warning signs and rules upon entering might not create the most inviting first impression. This restaurant has a great location and friendly staff, but there is room for improvement in terms of food quality and ambiance.

First time here. Excellent authentic Mexican. Burrito Ahogado was deliciously packed with an even ratio of beans, rice, beef, etc. Tomatillo Salsa Verde topping was superb and the habanero chili sauce provided a pleasant kick of heat. Owner was super friendly and took the time to chat with us. Will definitely be back, but on the patio next time.

We have ordered few times before sashimis and poke bowls from this new restaurant, located in our neighborhood and we liked the quality of the food and the presentation. This time was for a special occasion. We ordered for takeout our usual sashimi set and one of their sushi cakes. Everything was spectacular. The quality of the products and above all, the attention to the details, especially for the cake. A true work of art!

I recently ordered a take-out at Usagi, and I must say, It was a good experience. The sushi here boasts not only excellent taste but also impeccable presentation. I appreciated the delicate rice plates that allowed the freshness of the fish to shine through. I was glad to see they steer clear of the artificial plastic grass that many other sushi places use. Moreover, I love that they use a carton and wooden boxes, as a container which I found commendable. Overall, a good dining experience that I would highly recommend.

We ordered the Aburi pressed trio and avocado yam roll and were really happy with it. Great flavours, nicely presented. Will definitely order again. Happy to have a good local sushi spot ❤️

We got twilight, cucumber n cream cheese roll and sashimi. They’re all sooooo fresh and tasty. Worth the hype and the ride from downtown FOR ME. High Park’s neighborhood should give our friends a try. The staffs are very nice and friendly. We even got our Halloween treats ahead of time lol Thank you so much Usagi team for our delicious dinner. Good portion for 2ppls. 10/10

This is the best Sushi in the neighbourhood! The food is consistently great and it is obvious the team is proud about the product they produce. Although it is take out, each dish is thoughtfully arranged and prepared with care that exudes neatness and quality. The price is reasonable (a huge plus) especially for their vegetarian options. They give you an awesome amount of wasabi and ginger that is fresh and spicy.

Excellent food, drinks and service! Honestly, I'm a little shocked by the low reviews. I brought my partner and parents here for dinner. The portions were generous, the food is delicious and the server was very attentive. The prices are reasonable and in keeping with the quality of the food. Highly recommend and hope it stays in the neighborhood for a long time!

I am so pleasantly surprised!! Not only is the food incredible, but the service and the people are wonderful. My boyfriend and I have lived above a Vivo for almost a year and we regret not trying it sooner! We got the Capricciosa pizza, margherita pizza, arancini, and tiramisu - great amount of food and would definitely recommend. Looking forward to taking friends here soon. :) (ps if ur having a bad day this is a great place to lift ur spirits)

Man I love this place. Today Joe was my waitstaff and I'm thrilled to say the least - very humble and lovely person. Everytime I come here I'm always welcomed and fed to perfection. My favourite dish here is the Polo Alla Griglia and the terimisu!! The salads here are also rich with the right ingredients. Super affordable and the atmosphere is so clean and temperature is always right. The view to the park and neutral light from the floor to ceiling windows really adds to the experience. I feel refreshed and nourished when I come here. Music is also subtle and nice. Truly everything is well thought out. Even the booths are extremely comfy and the WiFi was available with no hassle making this my go to spot when I have a client meeting or need a break from the desk but can't stop working.
