New Year’s Eve is right around the corner, and restaurants across the city are celebrating with next-level menus and plenty of bubbly to welcome 2026.
It goes without saying that 2025 has definitely been… a year. Whether it was one of your best or one you’re ready to leave in the rear view, it’s still a reason for celebration.
While some people will be downing bottles of bubbly at the club, others prefer a more food-forward approach to the holiday, and Toronto’s restaurants are ready to respond, offering elegant prix fixe menus and drink specials until the ball drops.
From swanky steakhouses to neighbourhood wine bars, here are 10 restaurants perfect for your New Year’s Eve 2026 celebrations.

PUNCH
This British-Indian fusion restaurant at Le Germain Hotel Mercer is more than just a very pretty face: the food packs a serious punch, too.
