The 50th Issue

No. 50

In our 50th Issue, we’re raising a glass to a decade of foodism and the city that keeps us hungry for more. Fifty magazines in, Toronto’s dining scene continues to surprise, delight and evolve — and we’re celebrating with the ultimate summer bucket list: 50 must-try bites, cocktails and only-in-Toronto experiences to check off before Labour Day. We sit down with Michael Hunter, chef and co-owner of Antler Kitchen & Bar, to reflect on ten years of championing wild and foraged ingredients through changing dining habits, vocal critics and an ever-shifting hospitality landscape. And, to mark this milestone issue, we unveil foodism’s Best Restaurants for 2026: our definitive ranking of the city’s most memorable, exciting and well-rounded dining experiences. Whether you’ve been with us since issue one or are joining us for the first time, consider this your guide to the very best of Toronto, right now.
