Casa Paco Toronto

Casa Paco sits on Clinton Street, a fifteen-minute walk from the stalls of Kensington Market. It holds the number two spot on the 2024 Canada's 100 Best list for new restaurants, an honor that frames the room as more than just another neighborhood kitchen.

The cooking spans Andalusian and contemporary traditions, but the real reason to choose Casa Paco is its restraint. Where the nearby eateries in the market prioritize speed and volume, this room runs smart and elegant, keeping the pace deliberate. You come here when you want the precision of a destination kitchen without the noise of the city’s more crowded corridors. Its location relative to Queen’s Park offers a quiet shift in rhythm, making it the most sensible choice for a meal that demands focus rather than spectacle.
