Best Restaurants for Gyros in Toronto

In honour of National Gyros Day on September 1st, I’m rounding up the best gyros this week. In case you’ve never tried one, it’s a wrap that features thickly shaved meat (chicken, pork, beef or lamb) from a spit or rotisserie, tzatziki, lettuce, tomatoes and onions, all enveloped in a thick, puffy pita. And if you’re lucky, your gyros place will stuff a few french fries in there as well.
