What is triple-tested? Our Food Team creates, develops and tests every recipe at least three times (sometimes more!) to make sure it’s delicious and foolproof. We also make sure it’s easy to follow and shop for. Our professional testers weigh all the ingredients for nutritional analysis, verify how long it takes to prep and cook each recipe and check if it can be made ahead. We re-taste and adjust as needed. To confirm results in different kitchens, recipes are also tested at home — by us or by you. Sign up to be a home tester: testing@chatelaine.com

Looking for things to do in Toronto after hours? Check out these Toronto restaurants, all-night events and even a basement board game cafe.

Whether you want to eat, laugh or just play some Cranium, the city has something for you.

8 great late-night spots to hit up in Toronto

a:1:{i:0;s:5973:"Toronto for Night Owls

This isn’t quite the city that never sleeps — Torontonians need a little shut-eye to be so relentlessly polite — but plenty of doors stay open till the wee hours of the morning. Whether you’re looking for a good chuckle, a competitive round of Cranium or a sizzling plate of crispy beef, you’ll be covered.

Late-night eats in Chinatown

The greater Toronto area has not one, not two, but seven distinct Chinatowns. If you’re in the market for the oldest (dating back to the late 19th century), the largest (up there with Vancouver, San Francisco and New York) and the greatest concentration of late-night restaurants (open till 5 am on weekends!), head to Old Chinatown around Dundas and Spadina. You can stumble into any spot and be guaranteed perfectly serviceable dumplings, but it’s worth seeking out Taste of China for especially tasty//yummy? Flavourful? Just to avoid repetition with Taste// cuisine. Grab the crispy beef with XO sauce, the pork cheek with king oyster mushrooms or the Peking duck with pancakes, and it’ll be crystal clear — or as clear as anything can be at 5 a.m. — why this restaurant has been a Toronto chefs’ hangout since it opened almost 20 years ago. tasteofchinarestaurant.ca.
  
Late-night art at Nuit Blanche

On the Saturday before Thanksgiving weekend, from the time the sun drops until it comes up again, Toronto is transformed by roughly 100 mesmerizing, multi-sensory and entirely free art installations. Around a million locals and out-of-towners descend on all corners of the city to experience Nuit Blanche, which celebrated its 10th anniversary last October. This year, signature projects include a forest of fabric-strung LED lights twinkling at City Hall; a pool of water where the ripples are generated by brain waves; and a 45-foot globe projected with celestial images and sounds from Director X (of Drake and Rihanna’s “Work” video). Nuit Blanche is a cultural marathon, not a sprint, so //hook up an IV drip of caffeine// think the IV drip imagery is a bit weird -- instead? // start with an extra-large coffee and// steady yourself for the long haul. nbto.com.

Late-night nibbles at Pinkerton’s Snack Bar

The east end isn’t exactly known for its late-night haunts — people //add://tend to//get up early here to run 10K, then push baby strollers into brunch spots — so Pinkerton’s Snack Bar has been a welcome addition to the hood. Chase Asian-influenced dishes like Szechuan squid and fiery Laotian sirloin tartare with well-crafted classic cocktails like a boulevardier or Paper Plane — and then order another round, because the restaurant stays open till last call at 2 am. With exposed brick walls and industrial pieces salvaged from the nearby Leslie Street Spit //can we add a quick em-dashed or paranthetical sentence here about the spit – explain what it is, so that people understand how/why you can salvage industrial pieces there, and get a sense of what it contributes to the east-side vibe.// this is a lovely place to linger //trim?//until it’s finally time to relieve the babysitter.// facebook.com/yourpinkertonsnackbar.

Late-night games at Snakes and Lattes

If you’re feeling retro, Little Italy still has its fair share of classic red-sauce joints, or you could set aside a couple hours for that most traditional of timewasters: the board game. Housed in a sprawling, subterranean space, Snakes and Lattes offers thousands of options, from the massively popular Settlers of Catan to the massively lewd Cards Against Humanity. Staff sling lagers, nachos and flatbreads to keep players well-fueled, and dole out boatloads of recommendations to both neophytes and experts looking for something new. On weeknights, clusters of friends and competitive couples can stay until midnight, and on weekends, the games go on till 2 am. snakesandlattes.com.

Late-night laughs at Comedy Bar

Even in a city that boasts “diversity our strength” on its coat of arms, Bloorcourt neighbourhood stands out, with Ethiopian restaurants and roti shops nestled alongside contemporary art galleries, Mexican grocery stores, laid-back watering holes and vegan bakeries. Comedy Bar, which has been kicking around for eight years, took over a former Eritrean pool hall and turned it into a venue for sketch, stand-up, improv and more experimental formats. There are typically two nighttime sets on two stages to choose from, and on the second Monday of each month, Gilmore GirlProv brings your favourites from Stars Hollow back to life. comedybar.ca.

Late-night — make that all-night — menus

Sometimes, quite unexpectedly, a late night turns into a very late night turns into an it’s-4-o’clock-and-you-absolutely-need-to-eat-now kind of morning. For the past 60-odd years, the narrow counter at Vesta Lunch has been serving up 24-hour breakfasts with the requisite grease and bacon (plus souvlaki sandwiches and entirely decent chicken fingers) to the bleary-eyed and wobbly-legged. 274 Dupont St., no website.

Further south, TIFF stalwart Thompson Hotel has a 24/7 diner that delivers a quality Reuben sandwich, piled high with pastrami, sauerkraut and Swiss cheese and paired with a mess of gigantic onion rings. Bradley Cooper, Kate Hudson, Carey Mulligan and James Franco have all stayed at the hotel during the September film festival, so keep your eyes peeled for someone young and pretty scarfing fries in the corner. thompsondiner.com.

At Leslieville Pumps, a gas station smokehouse in the city’s east end, petrol is available 24 hours a day, so customers keep coming — and they can get hungry. The kitchen officially closes at 9 pm, but for cabbies, night-shifters and resident insomniacs, staff will dish out chicken curry and rice, plus the occasional (and phenomenal) smoked butter-chicken sandwich. It’s about as well as you can eat at this //at what?// ungodly hour. leslievillepumps.com. ";}
