Let’s talk about restaurants. Tell me your favourite place to eat in Toronto.<\/p>\n
That’s really tough. There are a lot of places that I like equally, so this is in no particular order. For dim sum, there’s a great place called Rol San,<\/a> but honestly, any dim sum in Chinatown is great. It just has amazing Chinese food. Then, for Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food, go to Fat Pasha<\/a> in Dupont. You can get an entire baked head of cauliflower. It’s just so delicious.<\/p>\n Where else would you recommend people go to eat in the city?<\/p>\n I don’t really spend much time downtown, but there is a good spot Pai<\/a>, which is Thai food. I once had a really good peanut sundae for dessert. My favourite casual pizza is called Badiali<\/a>. It’s my favourite slice of pizza in the world \u2013 to me, it’s better than any New York slice I’ve had. I know people will be pissed about that, but if you haven’t tried it, then you should.<\/p>\n What about bars? Where do you go to drink?<\/p>\n I’m not a huge drinker, but there are some fun places. There’s a place called Bellwoods Brewery<\/a> which does these beer slushies. They\u2019re literally the most addictive, best-tasting things. They only do it in the summer, but it’s insanely good. That place is awesome. There’s a vintage spot called Expo Vintage<\/a>, which has great curated vintage clothes, but also sells beer. My friend works at a spot called Houndstooth<\/a>, which is a fun bar, and it plays VHSs and old films. But a Toronto staple that you have to go to is called Sneaky Dee\u2019s<\/a>. It\u2019s one of the oldest dives in Toronto. A lot of bands got their start there.<\/p>\n Have you played there?<\/p>\n No, I\u2019ve never played there, but that’d be fun. I played at another place on Queen Street called The Horseshoe Tavern<\/a>. I think originally it was a country venue, but now it’s a famous Canadian music spot. The Stones played there once.<\/p>\n Where do you stay when you go? What are the best hotels in Toronto?<\/p>\n It’s actually hard to find a nice place that isn’t ungodly expensive, but I would honestly recommend the Drake Hotel<\/a> \u2013 which is of no relation to Drake, the musician. It’s on the west side of Toronto, so it’s near all the places that I’ve been talking about. It’s a boutique hotel, and it has a really nice cafe on the bottom, and a really good bar. That’s 100 per cent where I would stay.<\/p>\n What keeps drawing you back to Toronto?<\/p>\n It’s just an awesome city. A lot of my friends live there, and so that’s mainly what keeps me coming back \u2013 just the close friendships that I have. But every time I go, I feel like I get to know it a bit more and my goal is to just keep getting to know the city and see it change.<\/p>\n Fire from the Hip, Finn Wolfhard’s second studio album, is out Friday 10 July 2026<\/p>\n
