TASTE CANADA AWARDS WINNER

One of The Globe and Mail's Best Gift Books of 2023!

You've heard (and probably asked) this question a million times: 'Where did you go for dinner?' A love letter to 150 Canadian restaurants, and the stories and people behind them--from pre-Confederation to present day, from Victoria to St. John's--here's where we ate.

What is Canadian cuisine? While cookbook authors and historians have spent decades trying to answer this question, Canadian food isn't summed up by one iconic dish, but rather a huge range of meals, flavours, and cultural influences. It's about the people who make our food, who cook it and serve it to us at lunch counters, in ornate dining rooms and through take-out windows.

In her debut book, restaurant critic and journalist Gabby Peyton has penned a celebration of 150 restaurants that have left a mark on the way Canada eats--whether they're serving California rolls, foie gras poutine, hand-cut beef tartare or bánh mì--and brings us from one decade to the next, showing how our dining trends evolved from beef consommé at Auberge Saint-Gabriel in 1754 to nori-covered hot dogs at Japadog.

Organized chronologically, from pre-Confederation to the present day, you'll find
