One of the best things in life is when you’re craving for something good to eat and you’re not quite sure what it is but you stumble upon a restaurant that satisfies everything in your list. Ambiance, service and, of course, the food.
 
Whatever you’re hankering for this weekend, you’ll find some of the best eateries in Scarborough along with the reasons why you should drop them a visit ASAP.

1. NIJI SUSHI

As you may have guessed from the name, it’s one of the hottest Japanese and Korean restaurants in the Scarborough area. They’ve been around for 15 years and when you sample their menu and the service, you won’t have to ask how or why they’re lasted this long in the business. What’s better is they also have a vegetarian menu. It’s truly an all-inclusive restaurant for a very satisfying dining experience for family and friends.
 
NIJI SUSHI is conveniently located at the intersection of Midland and Ellesmere and is one minute walk away from the Midland and Ellesmere train stations. You can pre-order your food by calling their hotline to cut down on the waiting time.

1. SMITH BROS.

Fancy a steak? Smith Bros. is a hotspot located Northwest Corner of Warden at Eglinton. Patrons love their laidback vibe and friendly service but why most people flock to them is for the food. Voted one of Toronto’s best steakhouses for the third year in a row is a testament to how brilliant the food is at this family-owned steakhouse and tavern. They have special promos for particular days of the week so if you’re having a not-so-good day at work, you may want to check out their website and reward yourself with a steak dinner.

1. TERRY’S RESTAURANT & BAR

If you’re looking for a place to eat that serves really good, no-nonsense comfort food at affordable prices, TERRY’S RESTAURANT & BAR on Ellesmere. It’s another family-owned eatery that’s been around for ages and with good reason, too. The food, service and price range are all consistent and reliable and their long list of regulars is a testament. If you’re ever up early and looking for the perfect place to break the fast in, nip on by to TERRY’S. You just might become they’re new regular customer.

1. MAMA’S BOYS BURGERS

Looking for some of the best poutines in the Scarborough area? Head on over to MAMA’S BOYS BURGERS on Danforth Road and try their much-acclaimed pulled pork poutine. They serve huge portions of some of the most delicious casual food you can thing of at reasonable prices. The food prep area situated where customers can watch also adds to the laidback feel and casual vibe. The servers are sweet and nice too! If you want gyros on a pita or roasted lemon potatoes and even souvlaki, MAMA’S BOYS BURGERS is the best place to visit.

1. NOVA RISTORANTE

Of course, you can’t leave out an Italian eatery in a list of favorite restaurants. NOVA RISTORANTE on Lawrence Avenue offers a refreshing al fresco dining experience. NOVA RISTORANTE has some of the best pizzas in the district and some of the most delicious pasta dishes you can try. Opened in 1963 by three brothers, it’s one of the (if not the) first Italian restaurants in the area, it’s still one of the top Italian places around.
