Yelp Reveals Canada’s Top 100 Places to Eat in 2020



We L-O-V-E to eat and we’re passionate about great food. We know you are too! That’s why, every day, we work hard to make dining easier for our millions of users — they can order food for delivery or pickup, or grab a table using Yelp Reservations or Waitlist. Connecting people with great local businesses is a responsibility we take very seriously, especially when it comes to finding a place to get your next meal. With the help of our Yelp community, who contributed millions of reviews over the course of the last year, we are very excited to announce this year’s Top 100 Places to Eat in Canada.

From cheap eats to $$$, food stands to white tablecloth dining experiences, this year’s list runs the gamut of dining experiences. Leave it to Yelpers to be in-the-know on the spots you’ve heard about (like Montreal’s famous brunch spot L’Avenue at #10) and unearth grab and go joints the locals would love to keep secret (a burger joint specializing in indulgent burgers at #29 or a poutinerie where Yelpers rave about the crazy toppings in Canmore at #74). The list also shows that Toronto is one of Canada’s top foodie destinations with more than 30 of the top 100 eateries — more than any other city.

To determine Yelp’s Best Places to Eat in 2020, Yelp’s data science team pulled the top restaurants by ratings and number of reviews in 2019 across Canada, with representation based on each place’s share of top-rated restaurants nationally, then curated the list with the expertise of our Community Managers around the country to finalize the rankings. The result is a list as quirky, interesting and unique as the Yelp Community itself. 

You’re going to want to make a note of these spots, so we made it easy for you. Open this link on mobile (make sure to have the Yelp app downloaded!) and hit ‘follow’ once you’ve opened it in the app. Now you’ll always have the top 100 with you.

Did we miss one of your must-try restaurants? Share your thoughts on the list on social media using #YelpTop100 and tell us what you think. Remember, we only know how good a spot is if people take the time to review it, so share your thoughts on Yelp, and maybe your favorites will be on next year’s list! Don’t forget to check out our picks for the top places to eat in the United States!
