Karahi Point Oakville
There are many places in this area for Pakistani food, but none are as grand as this space. Beautiful decor!
The karahis are good, and many many chicken options, though I wish there were more vegetarian options. The biriyani we ordered was very salty, but they remade it for us with no hassle. The service is kind, but could be more attentive.

Pho Dau Bo Restaurant
One of the original locations of this famous GTA chain, and it’s still got it. Broth is great, even the vegetarian pho here is decent compared to other restaurants. The portions have definitely got smaller, but what to do.
Lapinou
Part of Michelin’s recommendations for Toronto, Lapinou offers a ‘globally-inspired’ French cuisine, and it’s a great experience.
First, the space is cozy and elegant, whether on the 2 side alley patio or the interior. The wait staff are very kind and helpful with the menu. The cocktails are great and can’t complain with a happy hour til 8pm.
The food here is really something special, usually a twist on a French favourite. I enjoyed the French onion tart, which is play on the ‘skin’ of the French onion soup. The duck is amazing, tho recommend an accompanying side as it’s just duck breast. The baby gem salad is fresh and delicious, though a small portion. Overall, everything had a well balanced flavour, kudos!

The Old Winery Restaurant & Wine Bar
Very good Italian food and a nice back patio to enjoy it in. A few minutes drive from the historic downtown’s area, so parking is not an issue. The price point is a little high, but all the dishes were great.
Lebanon Express
I walked past this place too many times without realizing it’s a gem. They offer a lot more vegetarian options than your usual shawarma joint; Many different kinds of salads, and other sides (highly recommend the eggplant!) and you can up to 2 to choose from with the plate option.
The portions are huge. One of the few places left where you can make 2 meals out of <$20.
The restaurant itself is very clean and and a few spots for in dining. The staff is extremely friendly to boot - definitely becoming my go-to in this area.
