Top 5 Wine Restaurants

One of just three in Canada, Jennifer Huether is a Toronto-based master sommelier. Here are her top recommendations:

• Café Belong: “Chef Brad Long really focuses on local, including his wine list. Plus, the prices are reasonable.”
• Splendido: “It’s high-end but they’ve been doing it right for years and continue to do it right.”
• E11even: “It has a really vibrant wine program and at least two sommeliers working there.”
• Bymark: “Chef Mark McEwan’s wine program is great.”
• Canoe: “Like Splendido, they have been doing it right for a long time and continue to be inspiring and to have a dynamic wine program.”
