Edulis occupies a converted Victorian house at 169 Niagara Street in Toronto's Niagara neighbourhood, on the western edge of King West, and it built its name on wine and wild mushrooms. The Michelin Guide awarded the room a star, and North America's 50 Best Restaurants placed it at number 25 in 2026, which puts the wine list and the tasting menu in rare company for a 40-seat house.
The room
Tobey Nemeth and Michael Caballo run the dining room out of a two-storey house furnished with mismatched chairs, old paintings, and a small bar near the entrance. The space seats around 40 across two floors, so tables turn slowly and the pace stays unhurried. A flower-filled patio opens along Niagara Street in the warm months and fills first.
What to order
Edulis serves five-course and seven-course tasting menus rather than a la carte, and the kitchen leans Mediterranean with a heavy hand on mushrooms and seafood; the restaurant's name is Latin for edible. The wine program is the reason many regulars return, and the half-price bottle nights earlier in the week turn an expensive list into a reason to trade up. Ask the floor for a glass pairing when the truffle service is running, since that is the dish the room is known for.
Who it is for
This is a restaurant for an anniversary, a long wine dinner, or a meal where the bottle matters as much as the plate. It is not a walk-in cocktail stop, and it is not cheap, with tasting menus that run well past $100 per person before wine. Larger groups should book the upstairs room ahead.
Best time to go
Midweek dinners are the calmest, and the half-price bottle nights reward an early-week visit for anyone building a meal around the list. Saturday and Sunday add weekend lunch seatings and the patio in summer, which book out first. Reserve through Tock a week or more ahead for weekend tables.
The bottom line
Edulis is a Michelin-starred wine house in a Niagara Street Victorian, a 40-seat room where the mushroom-forward tasting menu and a deep, fairly priced cellar do the talking. The Michelin Guide and North America's 50 Best both vouch for it. Come midweek for the bottle pricing, sit on the patio when it is open, and let the floor steer the pairings.
