The best dim sum in downtown Toronto has a few noticeable differences from its uptown counterparts. For one--much to the joy of purists and fans of middle-aged Asian ladies' shrill voices everywhere--some of the downtown places do offer traditional cart service, where you can immediately point and pick at your dish without knowing what the heck you've just agreed to consume. Secondly, the downtown restaurants edge their suburban cousins in their unparallelled variety, spanning a wide range of environments not usually found north of the city. From old hole-in-the-wall establishments to upscale harbour viewing dining experiences, there's something catering to every kind of dim sum preference on this list.
Here are the best dim sum restaurants in downtown Toronto.
