A Yorkville/North Toronto staple forever, I remember my parents taking me to Vittorio’s when they were at their long-standing Dupont and Avenue Road location.

Green Eggplant Restaurant ~ 1968 Queen Street E ~ (416) 913-3361
If you’re in the Beach and are looking for a place where portions & selection are king, look no further than the Green Eggplant.
