DaiLo is a College Street New Asian restaurant from Chef Nick Liu, built around Chinese-Canadian and Hakka memory filtered through French technique. The clearest order starts with Hakka Brown Wontons, Truffle Hainanese Chicken, Whole Fried Giggie Trout, and a later Yum Cha Bar round.

Bar Isabel is a 2013 College Street Spanish restaurant-bar built around Catalan small plates, a long wood bar, seafood, pintxos, sherry, cocktails, and a room that still feels like a full-night Toronto reservation.

Bar Raval is a no-reservations Spanish pintxos and tapas bar on College Street, built around a carved Barcelona-inspired room, compact food menu, cocktails, sherry, vermouth and wine. The strongest visit is menu-led but still works as a late bar stop.

Sisters & Co is a Trinity Bellwoods brunch room where pan-Asian comfort moves through family-recipe oxtail stew, gochujang chicken and waffles, katsu sandwiches, benedicts and a serious sweet side. The room feels personal, walk-in friendly and built for sharing.
