The Michelin guide has published its first Canadian edition, awarding 13 restaurants in Toronto its coveted stars.
Some 74 restaurants across 27 cuisine types in the country's largest city received a Michelin nod.
Reaction to the selection has been mixed, with praise for the number of restaurants, but criticism for the lack of diversity among winners.
Vancouver will be the next Canadian city to feature in the Michelin guide.
Around 350 people attended the in-person announcement on Tuesday.
The arrival of the guide in Toronto - first announced in May by Michelin, the city's mayor, and Canada's federal minister for tourism - has been celebrated by some as an exciting opportunity that will boost exposure for the city, marking it as a global destination for food and travel.
Most of the restaurants awarded stars are located in Toronto's city centre and feature tasting menus.
Among the one-star winners are Alo, a modern French restaurant that has consistently been ranked among the best restaurants in the world, and Don Alfonso 1890, once named the best Italian restaurant outside of Italy.

SSG Byron Howard Sr I'd Heard of Michelin Awards but wasn't aware that Toronto has missed out. I'm Sure they have some Excellent Restaurants and Glad to Hear them Recognized. The Prices Might be going up a Bit Now with Said Recognition. LOL!

Visited Toronto once and we were underwhelmed. Our trip to Vancouver was fantastic, though!
