Restaurant 20 Victoria was opened in 2021 by Chris White, following the expiry of the lease of his Toronto restaurant Brothers Food & Wine.[6] Starting operations during the COVID-19 Pandemic, the restaurant initially offered only sidewalk seating due to indoor dining restrictions in place in Ontario.[6] The kitchen is led by Chef Julie Hyde, who is also formerly of Brothers Food & Wine.[3]
The restaurant is named after the street address it operates from, 20 Victoria Street.[3] It offers a tasting menu in its dining room, as well as an a la carte menu offered from its bar seating that faces the open kitchen.[7]
Recognition
editThe restaurant received a Michelin star in Toronto's 2023 edition of the Michelin Guide,[2][8] recognizing its "pristine seafood and refined sauce work."[9] It is the only Michelin-starred establishment in Toronto headed exclusively by a female chef.
20 Victoria was also recognized with the 'Best Service' award at the 2023 Toronto Michelin award ceremony.[1]
The restaurant was ranked #4 in Canada's 100 Best Restaurants list in 2024.[10] It also topped Air Canada's annual list of best new restaurants in Canada in 2022.[11]
