Press Release
September marks the end of summer, but for Torontonians it’s the beginning of festival season. Stars flock to the city for the world-renowned Toronto International Film Festival, making celebrity sightings at local dining spots an everyday occurrence. OpenTable, the world’s leading provider of online restaurant reservations and part of Booking Holdings, Inc., is releasing its list of Toronto’s Most-Booked Restaurants During TIFF to help diners make their meal reservations during the festival.
This year, TIFF runs from September 6th to 17th, 2018. During that time, Yorkville, King West, Queen West and the Financial District are ideal locations for those looking to dine out and possibly rub shoulders with celebs.
“TIFF is an electric time in Toronto. The city is buzzing and so are restaurants with more late-night bookings and larger party sizes,” said Caroline Potter, chief dining officer at OpenTable. “This list is a cheat sheet for locals and visitors looking to have a great meal and join the festival excitement.”
Restaurants with a view, Canoe and 360 The Restaurant at the CN Tower, make appearances on the list, which also includes late-night hotspot Montecito, a collaboration with Hollywood director Ivan Reitman, and gourmet vegan destination Planta.
