The best steakhouses in Toronto are a throwback to a more indulgent time, when a juicy hunk of red meat was guilt-free proposition. There's an unabashed masculinity that still defines the steakhouse - what with its dark walls, low lighting, and plush seating - such that even the most modern of restaurants on this list can be fitted within their generic confines about two seconds after one passes through the front door.
To a great extent, this almost anachronistic element is their very charm. Creamed spinach, Caesar salads made table-side, butter-soaked green beans, over-sized portions, bartenders who don't flinch when you order an Old Fashioned - these are the little delights one luxuriates in at a quality steakhouse. Well, that and well aged beef. Be it wet or dry aged, these steakhouse take top notch beef, cook it at impossibly high temperatures, and serve it in a way that you just can't replicate at home.
