This article contains a complete list of Michelin-starred restaurants in Greater Toronto.
The Toronto Michelin Guide first launched in September 2022.[1] The guide was initiated through a marketing partnership between Destination Toronto and Michelin, similar to other cities the guide has entered in recent years.[2] In 2024, the geographic coverage was expanded to include the communities and regions that surround Toronto, with the guide officially being renamed by Michelin to "Toronto and Region".[3]
The guide was originally planned to launch in 2020, but it was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
As of the 2024 guide, there are 16 restaurants in Greater Toronto with a Michelin-star rating,[4] a rating system used by the Michelin Guide to grade restaurants based on their quality.

Criticism
The launch of the guide has attracted critique from various outlets including BBC News, suggesting that the guide is not representative of the diversity of Toronto's food scene,[2] or that the city doesn't need outside recognition.[2] The Toronto Star argued that the inaugural 2022 guide failed to capture the full diversity of Toronto restaurants, being overly represented by Japanese cuisine and downtown restaurants.[9] The Star also publishes its own alternative restaurant guide that it argues better captures Toronto's food scene, released around the same time as the annual Michelin Guide update.[10][11]
Others criticized the Michelin Guide for overlooking suburban Toronto, particularly Scarborough, which is often regarded as having the city's most diverse food scene.[12] In both 2022 and 2023, only one Scarborough restaurant received recognition, earning a Michelin Bib Gourmand designation.[12] In 2024, Michelin expanded its geographic coverage beyond the core city, including restaurants in suburban areas and extending as far as the Niagara Region, Simcoe County, and the Grey Highlands,[13] areas typically not considered to be a part of the Greater Toronto Area.
