Scaramouche jumped to number one this year (#2 last year) because of confidence....If Michelin were to rate Toronto, this would be the one place to cop a star (or two)- thanks to the most professional service in town, and exquisitely composed plates.

“Incredible food, incredible service. After 3 repeat top performances by the them, I think this has become my favourite restaurant in Toronto.”
Rick Mercer "I not only went to my all-time favourite Toronto restaurant, Scaramouche, but I finished with their signature coconut cream pie. This is, hands-down, the best dessert in the city.
"Scaramouche Pasta Bar has once again been recognized by Joanne Kates as one of the Top 100 Restaurants in Toronto. Now that the Pasta Bar takes reservations, it's the anti-big-night-out go-to resto for people of a certain class. Some tables enjoy a fab view over downtown. Let the valet take the car and make an entrance, down the grand staircase, all blonde wood and brushed stainless steel. The service is flawlessly professional, the menu an interesting compendium of grills 'n' pastas. We love the saffron-kissed scallops, the fish soup with subtle broth and perfectly cooked fish."
"passion fruit bavarois is ethereally light, with tropical flavours, cute meringue batons and a diet-salvaging dose of sliced fruit."
