Michael's On Simcoe

100 Simcoe St, Toronto, ON M5H 3G2

Our very own Alan Vernon wrote: “Steaks are a specialty, all hand selected and aged in house. And if the 8 oz tenderloin ($34) is any indication, you won't be disappointed. Its wagyu-like richness doesn't overpower the meats natural grassy and mineral qualities. This is one slab of beef that merits being served solo, sans sides.

Mambo Lounge

120 Danforth Ave, Toronto, ON M4K 1N1

A Cuban restaurant on the Danforth might not be the first place you’d think of for a steak. But the Bistec a la plancha ($25) - grilled AAA NY striploin with fresh, not frozen veg, and a hearty jus - is not only one of the best in the city, it’s an insanely good deal. And the yucca fries that accompany it are so addictive, you’ll come for the yucca as much as the steak.

Tulip Restaurant

1610 Queen St E, Toronto, ON M4L 1G2

Going to The Tulip is a unique and specific experience. It’s not fancy. Around since 1929, it’s the place you take Mom, Dad and the kids. The grandparents will love it too.
