Canada's 100 Best Restaurants list for 2025 is here. Here's who took the top spot — and which Toronto restaurants made the cut
Get in the car — the best restaurant in Canada is an hour and a half drive from Toronto. Restaurant Pearl Morissette in Jordan Station has taken the No. 1 spot on Canada's 100 Best Restaurants list, released Monday evening. The annual ranking of the country's best fine-dining restaurants comes at a time when Canadians are looking to support local businesses in lieu of vacationing in the U.S. this summer. Located at the Pearl Morissette winery on Jordan Road, the restaurant sits about 15 minutes west of downtown St. Catharines. 'We'd be lying if we said it wasn't a goal with the restaurant from the first day,' says Eric Robertson, who runs Restaurant Pearl Morissette with co-owner and fellow chef Daniel Hadida. 'We've been near the top (of the list) for a few years and it motivates us to refine our offering with the guest experience.' The restaurant opened in 2017 with the goal of highlighting Canadian-grown ingredients and their growers. While the locavore movement was already in full swing by then, the restaurant opted to open closer to the farmers (the property also has its own farm and orchard). 'We're in the Niagara region but at the time, we're looking out on the road and seeing how peaceful it was on a Friday night at 7:30,' recalls Hadida. 'And then we realized there's not a single car driving by and we had an empty dining room for the first year.' Restaurant Pearl Morissette executive chefs Daniel Hadida, left, and Eric Robertson. But word spread quickly among foodies, turning the spot into a destination dining experience where the seasonality of ingredients determined what was on the menu each week. The restaurant serves about 55 guests each night (the tasting menu is $205 per person), and there's a $265 per person chefs' table option — a curated experience featuring ingredients that didn't make it onto the regular menu. 'I'm very pleased to have such a Canadian experience at the top of the list in a year when we're all looking more inwards and looking for reasons to travel within the country,' says Jacob Richler, editor-in-chief of Canada's 100 Best, noting that Pearl Morissette has consistently hovered near the top in previous years. 'Pearl Morissette does an amazing job of putting a region on a plate, the travel is worth it.' A dish from Restaurant Pearl Morissette. For those unable to splurge on the $200 price tag, the restaurant opened RPM Bakehouse in 2022, a breakfast and lunch spot serving espresso-based drinks, breakfast sandwiches, viennoiserie, cakes, salads and tarts. The bakery also sourdough loaves as well as jams and spices sourced from the farm. 'Spring lamb is coming in, so parts of it will be used at the restaurant while the shoulder is being braised and used in a sandwich at the bakery,' said Robertson. 'We're using whole animals in the bakery, so instead of having a butcher shop, we're working directly with farmers.' Of the 100 restaurants in the list, 29 are located in Toronto and include other fine-dining favourites that have also appeared in the Michelin guide such as Alo (3rd), Edulis (4th), Restaurant 20 Victoria (5th), Quetzel (8th), Sushi Masaki Saito (16th) and Aburi Hana (29th). Montreal came in second with 24 entries, Vancouver has 14 restaurants, Calgary has five restaurants and Ottawa has four. The full list is on the Canada's 100 Best site .

This rural restaurant in Niagara, Ont., tops list of best 100 places to eat in Canada
Social Sharing A "little, tiny corner" of the Niagara region is now home to the best restaurant in Canada. Restaurant Pearl Morissette in the Lincoln, Ont., neighbourhood of Jordan Station has won the top spot on Canada's Best 100 Restaurants List for 2025. It's the first time a rural fine-dining establishment has made it to the top of the annual ranking, said Eric Robertson, 39, who opened the restaurant with fellow chef Daniel Hadida, 37, in 2017 out of the winery with the same name. "We are so very excited and happy we're able to showcase the little tiny corner of Niagara," Robertson said. The ranking is decided by 160 judges from across the country, according to the organization. Pearl Morissette's French-inspired menu features local ingredients that change with the seasons. It was already a sought-after spot with its 40 seats reserved months in advance. Then last fall it was awarded a prestigious Michelin star and now is at the top of the coveted rankings, indicating busy and exciting months ahead, said Robertson. "It comes with the responsibility of showcasing incredible Canadian ingredients, the farmers that we have around this area and the quality of staff we have in Canada," he said. "This is a country that can be taken seriously on the international stage for cooking and restaurants and hospitality." European dining in Canada Before Pearl Morissette, Robertson and Hadida both left Canada to get experience working in Michelin-star winning restaurants in Europe, as many young cooks do, Robertson said. The first Michelin stars weren't awarded to any Canadian restaurants until years later in 2022. Robertson, originally from Brantford, Ont., lived in Belgium, Sweden and France before moving to the Niagara region. He soon realized the European idea of "destination dining," surrounded by farmland, was possible in Canada, too. "We have those great ingredients here, too," Robertson said. "Niagara is one of the warmest parts of Canada. We are able to get figs and persimmons and beautiful lake fish and wild ingredients like mushrooms, which are going to be coming up after today with the sun out." The 2025 list was revealed Monday night. "We believe the 2025 list is an accurate measure of which restaurants excelled in 2024, which makes them our dining choices for today," Canada's Best 100 says on its website. The other restaurants on the list are in the major cities of Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa. Canada's Best also ranks new restaurants and the top 50 bars. The top 10 restaurants in 2025 are: Restaurant Pearl Morissette, Jordan Station Mon Lapin, Montreal Alo, Toronto Edulis, Toronto 20 Victoria, Toronto Eight, Calgary Beba, Montreal Quetzal, Toronto Published on Main, Vancouver AnnaLena, Vancouver Pearl Morissette posted on Instragram after its win was announced. "This project has always been about community, about building relationships with small artisans, millers, farmers and fisherfolk sharing the same philosophy as we do - uplifting Canadian produce with minimal intervention, showcasing it in a fine dining version, to make our guests appreciate what our fields, forests, lakes, rivers and seas have to offer," the restaurant said.

No. 1 in Canada: Niagara restaurant wins coveted top spot on country's top-100 list
Daniel Hadida and Eric Robertson didn't open Restaurant Pearl Morissette with the intention of becoming the best restaurant in the country. Or at least, not exactly. When they opened the doors to their Jordan Station dining room in 2017, the idea of being named the best restaurant in Canada and earning Michelin stars felt more like a distant ambition than a concrete goal — a necessary motivator in a challenging business often considered novel. And though they did not sit around talking about it every day, 'it would be false to say that there isn't that hope.' 'We want to really push ourselves and we want to be really creative, and we want to be a better partner for the community that we work with,' said Hadida. 'It's an outcome — it's not a purpose, but it's a useful thing to push against.' Nevertheless, it became a goal achieved. After several years bouncing around the top 10 of the best restaurants in Canada list, Restaurant Pearl Morissette earned the coveted No. 1 spot on the Canada's 100 Best restaurants in 2025. St. Catharines Fat Rabbit also earned a spot on the list at No. 97. 1. Restaurant Pearl Morissette — Jordan Station, ON 2. Mon Lapin — Montreal, QC 3. Alo — Toronto, ON 4. Edulis — Toronto, ON 5. 20 Victoria — Toronto, ON 6. Eight — Calgary, AB 7. Beba — Montreal, QC 8. Quetzal — Toronto, ON 9. Published on Main — Vancouver, BC 10. AnnaLena — Vancouver, BC The announcement was made at Canada's Best 100 magazine event Monday evening — an annual celebration honouring Canada's best newcomers, iconic establishments and celebrating the diversity and vibrancy of Canada's culinary scene. In an interview ahead of the ceremony, Hadida and Robertson said they don't fully understand the significance of an honour like this, but for them, 'the morale that comes from it is really the best part.' 'Especially because we're rurally located. We're in the middle of a very small, little town that is literally a one-street town, so that's definitely a cool thing,' said Hadida. 'I just felt quite excited and proud of, and for, the team as a whole.' The top 100 list is decided by 160 judges and the support for Restaurant Pearl Morissette was 'overwhelming,' said Jacob Richler, editor-in-chief and publisher of Canada's 100 Best. Since the day it opened, the restaurant has always been good, but Richler said it has only got better upon each visit. It has now reached a point where the quality of every ingredient on the plate is 'superb' and the experience feels more relaxed. 'They're just doing delicious, wonderful things and people responded to that.' 'They're doing a brilliant job. They're super passionate about what they do. I couldn't be more pleased also to have a place that so emphatically puts its little part of Canada on the plate so recognizably,' said Richler. 'It doesn't happen very often where you go to a restaurant and you think, 'Wow this place is just hitting it out of the park right now.'' Scallop, daikon, apple, shiso Restaurant Pearl Morissette. And in a year when Canadians are looking to stay local and travel within the country's own borders, 'it's great to be able to promote not just RPM, but so many restaurants across the country that are doing a wonderful job of expressing their region in their food and in their experience,' he said. The Jordan Station restaurant now exists as an 'extremely evolved and refined version of what we initially set out do,' said Hadida. Its carte blanche menu is rooted in a holistic approach — one which embraces regenerative practices and processes, partnerships with regional purveyors and food and wine that reflects the local ecosystem and land. But in the beginning, Pearl Morisette was a winery and farm, featuring about 60 pigs, 15 cattle, ducks and chickens raised on pasture. Hadida assisted with special food events, before suggesting an on-site restaurant. Robertson came on as a partner — later joined by gardener, forager and florist Deidre Fraser — and Hadida credits him for his encouragement to be ambitious and take risks. It was those relationships which helped hone the vision for Restaurant Pearl Morissette, ultimately forming the building blocks of the Michelin-starred, fine dining tasting experience on the Niagara Greenbelt.

After Restaurant Pearl Morissette won best new restaurant, it shifted the goalposts, building out its offerings to give diners 'an unforgettable experience that hopefully they will come back to for years and years,' said Robertson. Then the pandemic hit and for an 'esoteric, niche business in a novel location with a lot of expectations,' the restaurant showed its resiliency. Hadida said it farmed and preserved ingredients, supported vulnerable communities across Niagara and eventually evolved into an outdoor dining project over three summers. It did what it had to do to stay relevant, but Robertson and Hadida wanted to return the restaurant to its roots, cut down the work day and 'really focus and refine and push the level of what we were trying to execute with the restaurant.' 'Being in that point of reckoning effectively and having to decide, OK, everything that brought us here, what do we want to carry with us and what do we want to let go of? I'm super proud of the decision we made during that time and where it's led us to now,' said Hadida. For Robertson and Hadida, Restaurant Pearl Morissette was always about highlighting distinctive ingredients of Niagara and Ontario and with their own experiences in top kitchens around the world, and never saw Canada as playing catch-up. Daniel Hadida, left, and Eric Robertson, co-chef and co-owner of Restaurant Pearl Morissette, are photographed in Jordan. 'You don't have to put France, Italy and Japan on these pedestals of great food region. They are deserved (but) we have equally great ingredients and farmers and growers here in Canada,' said Robertson. 'We really wanted to have a spot where we could showcase that … I hope that we can provide a little bit of a blueprint (for young chefs and cook) moving forward.' After learning the news their restaurant had earned the top ranking, there was a moment of celebration between Robertson and Hadida, with hugs and high-fives before getting back to work. Excitement will continue as the chefs enjoy the moment with their collective team. But Robertson said it was on the ride home that first evening when the achievement 'really sunk in.' 'We are in a place now where we're representing this style of cooking, or this level of dining and restaurant experience in Canada. And with that, there's a little bit of responsibility to uphold the level that we're working at,' he said. 'It's motivating to just continue to push.'

Restaurant Pearl Morissette in Jordan Station, Ont., was named the top restaurant in the country on the 2025 list. 'Our new No. 1 restaurant is a sensational place, that's convincingly established a whole region on the culinary map,' says Jacob Richler, editor-in-chief and publisher, Canada's 100 Best. 'The quality of the food, its thoughtfulness and inventiveness, is reliably extraordinary, at every visit.' A former No. 1 destination on the list, Published on Main, remains the top-ranked eatery for B.C., coming in at No. 9. AnnaLena came in just behind it, at No. 10. The Kitsilano favourite is one of three restaurants new to the top 10 this year. Richler says the latest ranking also includes 31 eateries that didn't make the cut last year. 'T here is lots of change throughout the ranks,' Richler says. As is often the case with the 100 best list, there are a lot of familiar names among the ranks. B.C. foodies will likely nod their heads in agreement with the other 17 eateries in the province that landed on this year's ranking including Kissa Tanto (No. 18), Baan Lao (26), and Hawksworth (66).

According to Richler, the consistent theme among the Canadian culinary offering is quality. 'Eating out in Canada has never been better. At a time when we are all destined to spend a little more time travelling in our own country, and thinking deeply about what it means to us, our restaurants are definitely doing their part for our clarity and pride,' says Richler. 'If you look at our list you'll find great dining choices wherever you're headed. And I mean the list from top to bottom. 'Like even at No. 89 — there's The Fishman, one of my favourites, and my go-to for a quick, delicious jaunt when I have a layover at Vancouver International.' This year's list was selected by an increased number of judges — 160, up from 135 judges in 2023 — along with a freshened approach to criteria.

'This year we've added extra voting weight to judges' top choices, putting extra emphasis on the restaurants they care most passionately about and rate the highest,' Richler explains. 'And we align the voting weight of all regions with their population.' The judges include a mix of food writers, critics, chefs and 'other food service professionals,' according to Richler, who are all 'passionate restaurant-goers whose enthusiasm for a good meal is matched by considerable knowledge and experience.'
