5 Amazing Dishes You Can Get On Dupont In Toronto

Toronto is filled with amazing restaurants and dishes that make all our mouths water, but one of the underdogs in the Toronto food scene is Dupont avenue. Dupont avenue's restaurants may be over-shadowed by the literal shadow of Casa Loma, or perhaps the buzz of all the Toronto restaurants downtown being featured all the time, but they bring a unique splash of flavour to our city that is fair competition to the rest of the top dishes the city has to offer.
