Excellent
Four Fathers Brewing Co.
9.0The menu is strongest when it leans into brewery comfort food: wings, beer cheese pretzels, fried chicken, burgers, poutine, and fries with heavier toppings. It is built for sharing, grazing, and casual appetite.
Country Girl Family Restaurant
9.3The appeal is hearty, familiar, and broad: home fries, Benedicts, burgers, fish and chips, brisket poutine, hot sandwiches, and sweet breakfast plates. It is comfort food built for repeat daytime meals, not a narrow chef showcase.
Mama Jean Kitchen
8.8Mama Jean Kitchen's strongest dishes sit squarely in Chinese comfort-food territory: Hot and Sour Soup, Cantonese Chow Mein, Almond Soo Gai, Sesame Chicken, and fried rice. The appeal is familiar food made with enough specificity to feel like a house style.
Gator's Tail Sports Shack & Grill
8.8The menu is built around filling comfort orders with extra personality: Gator Bites, jambalaya, gumbo, burgers, ribs, wings and fish and chips all point toward hearty pub dining.
The Black Badger
8.8Stuffed Yorkies, fish and chips, Bangers & Mash, pot pies, burgers and ribs make comfort food the clearest reason to pick this pub.
Foundry Tavern
8.4Foundry Tavern earns this card through food that is familiar before it is flashy: smashburger, fish and chips, wings, fried chicken sandwich, steak frites, and sticky toffee pudding. The appeal is in recognizable tavern staples with enough house detail to make the order feel intentional.
M&M Bar and Grill
8.8The menu is strongest when it stays hearty and familiar: wings, fish and chips, perogies, burgers, breakfast plates, and pub snacks all point to a kitchen designed for comfort-food regulars.
Fifty's Grill & Deli
8.7Fifty’s is built for comfort-food breadth: smoked meat, Liver and Onions, BBQ Back Ribs (1 lb), Baked Lasagna, burgers, souvlaki platters, and breakfast plates all sit comfortably on one menu. The draw is familiar abundance rather than a narrow chef-driven lane.
Choun Kitchen
9.5The strongest dishes are comforting without becoming one-note: Lemongrass Chicken, Lao Laksa, Red Thai Curry, Pad Thai, vermicelli bowls and crispy starters give the meal warmth, texture and familiar entry points.
Good Options
Riverside Fish Hut
8.7The menu is built around satisfying, familiar plates: fried fish, chips, poutine, onion rings, coleslaw, gravy, and chicken fingers. It is comfort food with a tight seafood centre rather than a broad diner spread.
Khyber Afghan Grill
8.9Beyond the skewers, the comfort comes from warm rice, qorma, chole gravy, borani, lamb shank, and naan. Those supporting pieces make the meal feel rounded and familiar instead of only a sequence of grilled proteins.
Otters Fish & Chips
8.9Otters is strongest as a comfort-food fish counter: fresh-to-order fish, seasoned fries, house tartar, coleslaw, and familiar sides that make the meal feel complete without needing a formal dining room.
Amici Restaurant
8.8This card fits the heart of the menu: baked pastas, veal parmigiana, wood-fired pizzas, meatballs, tiramisu, and saucy dinner plates built for comfort without feeling anonymous.
The Bruce Craft House
9.1The comfort-food side is broad without feeling lazy: Confit Duck Poutine, Craft House Chicken Wings, Bruce Smashburger, schnitzel, pizza, and short rib all give familiar food enough kitchen detail.
Andy's Pizza
8.9The comfort-food centre is clear: customer-favourite pizzas, one-pound wings, oven-baked subs, gyro, and Cheesy Garlic Bread. Andy's works best when the goal is a familiar, shareable order that does not need much explanation.
Capri Pizza
9.0Capri’s comfort food is straightforward: pizza, lasagna, spaghetti with meatballs, baked subs, panzarotti, and garlic bread all belong to the same familiar meal. It is not trying to surprise diners; it is trying to feed them in a way that feels known.
Irie Myrie
9.6The comfort-food pull is strong without becoming generic. Oxtail, curry goat, fried chicken, jerk ribs, jerk chicken poutine and plantain give the menu a rich, filling side that works when the meal needs warmth and weight.
Tony's Family Diner
8.7Breakfast combos, burgers, souvlaki, pork chops, wraps and fish and chips give the menu a broad comfort-food shape that fits repeat casual visits.
Leymoon
8.9The comfort-food case is not just fries and sauce; it is the way shawarma and grill items cross into poutines, bowls, and plate formats. Chicken Shawarma Poutine, Mixed Grill Plate, and the wrap lineup make the restaurant feel hearty without losing the lemon-and-sauce identity.
Cambridge Mill
9.3The menu keeps comfort food in polished form: Burger with taleggio and beef jus, Chicken Schnitzel with brown butter and capers, Steak Frites, Braised Short Rib, and Sunday brunch all give the room substance beyond the view.
Hi Sushi
8.7Best for diners who want comfort around the sushi spread: Miso Soup, Spring Rolls, Cheese Wontons, katsu, noodles, and familiar rolls soften the raw-fish edge.
Red Basil Vietnamese Restaurant
9.2Pho, curry coconut chicken soup, fried rice, Pad Thai, vermicelli bowls, and sauced chicken or duck dishes give Red Basil a strong comfort-food core. The appeal is warm, filling, and familiar without narrowing the whole meal to one dish.
