Best Restaurants for Thanksgiving in Toronto

Thanksgiving is an epic holiday for many reasons: - It’s probably one of the only times of year that you have turkey - a lot of turkey. - The first holiday of fall gives us the first glimpse of comfort foods such as roast squash, mashed potatoes and gravy that will be enjoyed throughout the season. - To be surrounded by friends and family is reason enough for gratitude. But a meal this good makes giving thanks easy.
