Must Try: Fish and Chips! Halibut is my personal preference, but the cod is great too. If you're adventurous, try the version with Miss Vickey extra crisp batter.

My Experience:
Been coming here for years, and I don't think I'll stop anytime soon. I don't often give five stars, but when I do, it's for the Best of Toronto. A lot of times, there's more hype than substance behind highly rated restaurants, but Fresco lives up to the hype. Plus the non-stop Beatles hits are a great touch.
The fish is always fresh, and has the perfect balance of batter each and every time. Everything is made to order, so it does require a wait, but the wait is worth it. If they have a special soup of the day, and it's Clam Chowder, get that too.
Hidden away in Kensington Market, where there are a great handful of amazing joints, this is hands down the best fish and chips in the city. Note that there isn't much seating room inside, although there is a patio for seating in the warming months of the year. Overall, great service, and delicious food.
