Petit Potato

1-10 Ravel Rd, North York, ON M2H 1S8

North York’s Petit Potato has lunch and main menus filled with Taiwanese dishes like deep fried tofu with satay sauce and pork cutlet omurice with spicy curry sauce, but it’s the Golden Toast series that has been making waves in Toronto. The Golden Toast Series compromises of sweet toast piled high, and smothered in toppings like ice cream, marshmallows and strawberries. Some of them, standing at 10 inches high, are meant for sharing!

La Carnita

501 College St, Toronto, ON M6G 1A5

La Carnita has been paying close attention to its dessert menu for the past couple of years. The taqueria launched the Sweet Jesus ice cream chain via its dessert menu, offering crazy over-the-top soft serve cones that set off an ever-growing trend in Toronto. These days you can find everything from Sweet Jesus cones to paletas and a fantastic tres leches cake.

Richmond Station prides itself on using seasonal ingredients and the dessert menu is no exception.

A favourite is the PB & J dish, a peanut butter mousse, with brioche, grape gel, and a mulled wine sorbet.

Opulence is key when it comes to any menu at Café Boulud, and the dessert menu takes it to the next level.

Momofuku Noodle Bar

190 University Ave, Toronto, ON M5H 0A3

Momofuku’s Noodle Bar offers a unique take on dessert. After your bowl of ramen, you are invited to help yourself to the Milk Bar, located on the second floor. The doors open to a small room that is filled with delicious cookies, cakes, cake truffles and pies. The dessert is prepackaged, but everything is so delicious you won’t mind eating it on the go.

The Black Hoof

928 Dundas St W, Toronto, ON M6J 1W3

Jen Agg’s The Black Hoof is known for its unique offerings of charcuterie, but the dessert menu is worth saving room for. Currently The Black Hoof is offering a carrot cake with a side of foie gras. The pairing may seem a little odd, but the flavours work perfectly together, with the foie gras adding richness to the delicious carrot cake.

Fonda Lola

942 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M6J 1G8

Fonda Lola keeps the fiesta going straight though to dessert! The Mexican restaurant fuses Mexican flavours into the seasonal dessert menu that has included tequlia lime cheesecake and Oaxaca cheese flan. The churros, served with Mexican caramel and whipped cream, have become a staple at the Queen West restaurant.

Scaramouche Restaurant Pasta Bar & Grill

1 Benvenuto Pl, Toronto, ON M4V 2L1

The stand out on Scaramouche’s dessert menu is the famous Coconut Cream Pie. The pastry holds smooth coconut custard, which is then topped with white chocolate shavings and dark chocolate sauce.

Holy Chuck Burgers
