Yelp names Canada’s Top 100 Places to Eat in 2022

While dining out has changed since the pandemic began, one thing hasn’t changed – Yelpers love to eat! This year, we tapped the Yelp community for recommendations of their favorite restaurants and today we are thrilled to announce Canada’s Top 100 Places to Eat in 2022.

Toronto remains a top foodie destination, edging out Vancouver for the most represented city on this year’s list. This year’s no. 1 restaurant is a local Toronto sandwich shop, Grandma Loves You, where Yelpers love the homemade vegan cakes and creative hot dogs. Other Toronto picks include Sugo (no.17), an Italian cocktail bar; Juicy Dumpling (no. 28); and Burger Drops (no.26).

Our seventh annual list highlights quick service spots, brunch destinations and local neighborhood gems. This year, there’s something for everyone across Canada, at every price point.

British Columbia is well-represented on the list with Kingyo, a Japanese eatery in Vancouver coming in at second place. Other B.C. restaurants include Middle Eastern bakery Wild Thyme (no. 48 in New Westminster), Tutto (no. 67 in Vancouver) and Chad Thai (no. 84 in Burnaby).

In Quebec, 15 restaurants made this year’s list, including popular brunch spot L’Avenue (no. 14) and Celine Dion’s Schwartz (no. 44) in Montreal.

Methodology: To determine Yelp’s Top Places to Eat in 2022, Yelp reached out to the user community first, requesting individuals to nominate restaurants that they can’t wait to return to in 2022 in Canada. Yelp’s data science team analyzed the submissions from the community to determine the top restaurants by ratings, number of reviews, and volume of submissions, with geographic representation based on equal share of submissions of top-rated restaurants nationally. Yelp further curated the list with the expertise of our Community Managers around the country to finalize the rankings. The resulting list is collaborative and passion driven – an accurate reflection of the Yelp Community itself.
