Reyna

Reyna, a Toronto import near Union Square, calls its food “Mediterranean fusion," so you'll discover Turkish, Greek, and Spanish touches in dishes like their signature lamb shank baklava. We tend to prefer their seafood plates—get the crispy octopus on a bed of green harissa sauce and salmon tartare with lemony labneh that will remind you of lox and cream cheese. The large dining room is filled with teal and light pink velvet seating and a very long white marble bar—the dim lighting and low-key music make Reyna feel like a lounge, so come here for drinks and small plates when you want to make dinner your whole night out. Don’t miss their fun bathrooms, solely lit by “Your kiss is on my lips” and “Mine is bigger than yours” neon signs.
