And a new list ranking the best dining properties at Canadian hotels proves why.<\/p>\n<p>OpenTable launched its second-annual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opentable.ca\/c\/en\/top-restaurants\/top-50-hotel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Top 50 Hotel Restaurants in Canada<\/a>\u00a0list for 2026, with 24 of them in Ontario. As for Toronto, 16 of the best hotel restaurants are in the city.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHotel restaurants are playing an increasingly central role in how Canadians dine and travel,\u201d states OpenTable, adding that data from the online reservation company shows hotel dining is on the rise across Canada by seven per cent year-over-year.<\/p>\n<p>Their data also showed that almost half (49 per cent) of Canadians have dined at a hotel within the last six months. Additionally, 90 per cent have said they\u2019ve visited a hotel restaurant, even when they weren\u2019t staying at the property.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t sleep on the hotel restaurant. Some of the best tables are just past the lobby, and you don\u2019t need a room key,\u201d said Matt Davis, Head of North America Hotels at OpenTable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese venues have become dining destinations in their own right, pulling in locals just as much as travellers. With 44 per cent of Canadians booking a hotel in their own city or nearby area for a staycation, a great hotel restaurant turns a regular night out into something that feels like a trip, no check-in required.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAQAAAADCAQAAAAe\/WZNAAAAEElEQVR42mM8U88ABowYDABAxQPltt5zqAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==\" alt=\"Don Alfonso Opentable\" class=\"img-responsive lazyload full blur\" width=\"1264\" height=\"948\" data- data-\/><\/p>\n<p>             <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/6a5a2c3c07521.image.jpg\" alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" loading=\"lazy\" height=\"150\" width=\"200\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Don Alfonso 1890 at The Westin Harbour Castle in Toronto.<\/p>\n<p>                                    Don Alfonso\/OpenTable<\/p>\n<p>With Toronto and Ontario dominating this year\u2019s list, here\u2019s a look at which hotel properties have the best restaurants this year (listed alphabetically, not ranked).<\/p>\n<p>      The best hotel restaurants in Toronto\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.abrielle.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Abrielle<\/a>, The Sutton Place Hotel Toronto<a href=\"https:\/\/akirabacktoronto.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Akira Back<\/a>, Bisha Hotel<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aldertoronto.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Alder<\/a>, Ace Hotel Toronto<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cafebouludtoronto.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Caf\u00e9 Boulud<\/a>, Four Seasons Hotel Toronto<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clockworktoronto.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CLOCKWORK<\/a>, Fairmont Royal York<a href=\"https:\/\/www.donalfonsotoronto.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Don Alfonso 1890<\/a>, The Westin Harbour Castle<a href=\"https:\/\/kosttoronto.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">K\u014cST<\/a>, BISHA<a href=\"https:\/\/www.librarybartoronto.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Library Bar<\/a>, Fairmont Royal York<a href=\"https:\/\/www.louixlouis.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">LOUIX LOUIS<\/a>, The St. Regis Toronto<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mortons.com\/location\/mortons-the-steakhouse-toronto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Morton\u2019s The Steakhouse<\/a>, Park Hyatt Toronto<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reigntoronto.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">REIGN<\/a>, Fairmont Royal York<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebroadviewhotel.ca\/the-rooftop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Rooftop Bar at the Broadview Hotel<\/a>, The Rooftop<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sportsnetgrill.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sportsnet Grill at Toronto Marriott City Centre<\/a>, Marriott Hotel<a href=\"https:\/\/windsorarmshotel.com\/high-tea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Tea Room<\/a>, Windsor Arms Hotel<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tocarestaurant.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">TOCA &#8211; The Ritz-Carlton<\/a>, The Ritz-Carlton<a href=\"https:\/\/tonobyakirabacktoronto.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">TONO by Akira Back<\/a>, W Toronto hotel<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re curious who else in the province made the list, here are the best restaurants in Ontario hotels:<\/p>\n<p>21 Club, Fallsview Casino Resort, Niagara FallsCannery Restaurant, Pillar and Post Inn &amp; Spa, Niagara-on-the-LakeIsabelle Restaurant + Lounge, The Pearle Hotel, BurlingtonLangdon Hall Dining Room, Langdon Hall Country House Hotel &amp; Spa, CambridgeMasaki Sushi &amp; Sake Bar, Moffat Inn, Niagara-on-the-LakeNeros Steakhouse, Caesars Windsor, WindsorPonte Vecchio, Fallsview Casino Resort, Niagara FallsThe Drawing Room, Prince of Wales Hotel, Niagara-on-the-Lake<\/p>\n<p>According to OpenTable, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opentable.ca\/c\/en\/top-restaurants\/top-50-hotel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Top 50 Hotel Restaurants in Canada for 2026<\/a> list \u201cis generated from over 1,100,000 reviews from verified OpenTable diners and dining metrics from May 1, 2025 &#8211; April 30, 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To be considered, restaurants had to have a minimum threshold of diner reviews and were \u201cevaluated by a compilation of unique data points, including diner ratings and the percentage of five-star reviews.
