Swan

A Formica-topped counter and reclaimed diner booths lend this bustling spot a 1950s feel, but the food is decidedly contemporary. Eggs are scrambled with smoked oysters and pancetta, sautéed spinach accompanies trout eggs benny. Excellent Americano coffee, but alas, no free refills.
The Church

Elegant French food on a seasonal menu, which always includes game. Located in a former church, built in 1874.
The Coffee Mill

This unpretentious Hungarian restaurant is a Yorkville mainstay. Tucked away in a mall, it serves goulash soup, Wiener Schnitzel , homemade desserts, and excellent espresso.
The Compleat Angler

As the name suggests, seafood is the specialty – though there’s steak, too. Try the local Great Lakes catch.
The Fifth

This restaurant styles itself as a club (and yes, non-members do pay slightly more); the freight-elevator ride to the fifth floor loft only adds to the exclusive feel of the place. A prix fixe menu favors French classics such as foie gras , duck breast, and langoustine. In winter, candles, fireplace, and couches make things lavishly cozy. In summer, try for a table on the rooftop terrace.
Tiara

Savory roast and catch of the day join delights such as lobster agnolotti and lime-crusted rack-of-lamb on the menu of this upscale hotel restaurant.
Verveine

The decor is soothing (soft lighting and linens), the food highend comfort: smoked salmon with truffled scrambled eggs, poached eggs on croissant (see Verveine).
Verveine

Contemporary French cuisine and excellent brunches are the draw at this Leslieville favorite (see Verveine).
Via Allegro

Authentic Italian food – pasta, seafood, and wood-fired oven pizzas – and an award-winning wine cellar which, with over 3,000 selections, is an oenophile magnet.
West Café

Warm and cozy, thanks to a fireplace and numerous rooms, though it can get crowded. Salads, sandwiches, pastas, and desserts are dished up 24/7.
