#FOOD: TORONTO NEW YEAR’S EVE IDEAS AT LYLA, HARBOUR SIXTY, ARIANNA, MINAMI, MIKU, NO VACANCY, AND SUITE 115
In Toronto, New Year’s Eve belongs as much to the dining room as to the dance floor, and this year a handful of standout establishments are making a case for staying at the table. At Lyla in Liberty Village, Harbour Sixty and Arianna on Harbour St, and King West’s Minami Toronto and Miku Toronto on Bay St, chefs are staging multi-course menus that read like celebratory stories in seafood, steak and modern Japanese cooking, often with thoughtful wine or sake pairings and service that stretches well past midnight. On College Street, Radici Project offers a tasting menu that weaves together Italian and Japanese influences, while nearby Suite 115 turns its speakeasy-style space into a ticketed, cocktail-forward gathering. And for those who prefer their countdown with a well-made drink rather than a set menu, Ossington’s No Vacancy promises an eventful night at a neighbourhood bar that already feels like a New Year’s tradition in the making. Altogether, these venues capture the city’s plan for ushering in 2026 through dinner plates and raised glasses.
Lyla

For those looking to make the night even more celebratory, Lyla is offering an optional $69-per-person beverage pairing that moves in four chapters: beginning with a crisp Prosecco Brut from Veneto, followed by a Vinho Verde from Portugal and a Langhe Nebbiolo from Italy, and closing with a curated New Year’s Eve cocktail, an experience designed for diners who want a polished, destination-style New Year’s Eve without leaving the city.

Duck Duo ($59 + tax)
This refined dish features a 7-day dry-aged, 8 oz seared Ontario duck breast, paired with three duck confit croquettes. It’s served with a silky carrot purée, za’atar pomegranate glaze, and finished with a spiced duck jus. Rich, bold, and beautifully balanced, perfect for fall dining.
Rigatoni al Brasato di Manzo ($35 + tax)
A comforting yet elevated pasta made with slow-braised Ontario beef short rib, finished with a deeply savoury short rib jus and topped with a light ricotta espuma. It’s the kind of warm, hearty dish that guests crave as the weather cools down.
Soul Tie ($25 + tax) (Clarified Cocktail)
This is Lyla’s fall cocktail feature, a bold and aromatic clarified drink made with Bearface Whisky, Amaro Nonnino, absinthe, pomegranate and lime juice, and a house-made ginger & Thai chili syrup.

Phở Bò Wagyu – Wagyu Beef Noodle Soup ($36 + tax)
This dish transforms the classic noodle soup into a rich, layered experience. Rare wagyu zabuton, beef cheek, ox tail, and bone marrow come together in a deeply flavourful 24-hour beef broth, finished with rice noodles and a slow-poached egg. The result is a bowl that feels both luxurious and deeply soulful.
Nui Xào Bò – Rigatoni Short Rib ($32 + tax)
Lunch Lady’s Nui Xào Bò reimagines a recipe rooted in childhood memories for many Vietnamese families. Once a humble stir-fry made with macaroni, leftovers, and pantry sauces, this version dials up the depth with rigatoni tossed in the familiar sweet-salty flavours of the dish, paired with the richness of braised short rib in the style of beef bourguignon. It’s a beloved staple that manages to be nostalgic and modern all at once, perfect for cooler days ahead.
