The Best Baklava in Toronto

The best baklava in Toronto comes in all sorts of shapes but one thing’s for sure, this sweet pastry is almost always made with layers of phyllo dough, a variety of chopped nuts like pistachios and walnuts and is sweetened with either syrup or honey. Rich, crisp and flaky, this layered pastry is loved by many.

Here are some of the best places for baklava in Toronto.
