1

SCHOOL Restaurant

8.2
Comfort Food Specialists · 7.5
Brunch · West Queen West · $$

The menu leans into comfort brunch through fried chicken and waffles, French toast, pancakes, mac and cheese, a burger, and a crispy fried chicken sandwich.

2

Aloette Restaurant

8.8
Comfort Food Specialists · 7.5
Contemporary Canadian · Queen Street West · $$$

Aloette’s best trick is making comfort food feel exact without making it precious. Cheese bread, fried chicken, burgers, fries, and pie carry the room, while crudo and cappelletti keep the kitchen from coasting.

3

Sisters & Co

8.4
Comfort Food Specialists · 7.5
Pan-Asian · Little Italy (College Street) · $$

The menu leans into comfort food through slow-cooked oxtail, fried chicken, katsu, benedicts, loaded fries and sweet pancakes. It feels generous and familiar while still carrying a clear pan-Asian accent.

4

Scotland Yard Pub

9.2
Comfort Food Specialists · 7.5
Pub Fare · St. Lawrence Market · $$

The menu is most convincing when it stays hearty and familiar. Fish N Chips, Cottage Pie, Guinness Stew, Bangers & Mash, Yard Poutine, wings, and burgers give the pub a comfort-food spine that suits repeat visits and long-group ordering.

5

Nabe Hana

8.7
Comfort Food Specialists · 7.5
Korean · West Queen West

Nabe Hana's strongest lane is warm, familiar Korean comfort: kimchi stew, pork broth, dumpling soup, rice bowls, fried chicken, and house kimchi. The menu is compact enough that those dishes reinforce one another instead of feeling like unrelated comfort-food gestures.
