Iron gates, a brick courtyard and a 1904 industrial building: the exterior of Brassaii gives no hint of a chic and trendy restaurant, where modern Toronto bustles day and night. It wouldn't be help much to recommend a specific dish because the menu is changed frequently. However, the excellence in cooking and service remain constant, and the price is lower than most of its competitors. Do order a glass from the impressive wine selection, and save room for dessert. Better yet, come back and try a new, different meal.

Messini Authentic Gyros is among the best gyro haunts in town. Their menu also features souvlaki, pitas, kebabs, seafood and salads. Dig into Deep Fried Calamari, Grilled Octopus, Gyros Pizza, Pork Souvlaki Pita, Chicken Gyros and Pikilia. You will love the zesty flavors and hearty fillings.
