The Best BBQ Restaurants in Toronto   

 

 

The best BBQ restaurants in Toronto are temples of meat devoted to time-honoured cooking traditions. In Hogtown, a surge of new smokehouses have hardly matured but have zealously taken up the artform (or is it a sport?) with deep reverence to the legendary pits of the Southern states.

Exclusive: How much are homes in your Toronto neighbourhood?  




See how prices have changed in your neighbourhood in Globe Real Estate's exclusive Toronto-area survey. Using a data mapping methodology developed by Realosophy.com, Toronto Real Estate sales and pricing information have been assigned to actual neighbourhood boundaries. Blank areas on the map correspond to areas of high commercial or industrial activity with low residential use or where sales activity was negligible. Note: The data on this map is intended to compare the spring or fall market with the same period from the previous year. Some of the data may by skewed by a smaller or larger number of sales compared to the previous year.
