Linny’s

ContemporaryOssington$$

Linny’s is one of the best contemporary restaurants in Toronto for date night, especially if you want a strong option in Ossington.

There's a version of this restaurant that could have been pure nostalgia tourism — the framed pages of a mother's handwritten recipe book, the corduroy booths, the mid-century deli references — but Linny's on Ossington isn't that.
