The Ossington strip is one of Toronto's liveliest hubs, mostly because it is densely packed with some of the best restaurants in the city. Nudged between Dundas West and Queen West -- Ossington is home to various restaurants, bars and bakeries worth checking out. From upscale fine dining to hole in the walls, there is a spot for every occasion. Whether you are looking for pho, smash burgers or a New York-style slice, Ossington has it all. The Ossington strip is truly a shining gem of the city and picking the best restaurants that span the 10-minute walk between Dundas and Queen was no easy feat. To keep this list compact, some Ossington favourites like Bang Bang have been left off because this list focuses solely on restaurants, not bakeries or bars.
Check out our list of the best restaurants on the Ossington strip below!
