One of the most exciting things about living in the city is the seemingly unlimited access it gives you to food and wine. Toronto has an incredible dining scene, with no shortage of restaurants dedicated to cultural cuisines to delight your taste buds.

Sharing a meal is one of the top ways to bring people together in a way that everyone enjoys. For this reason, for young professionals, going out for lunch with clients is one of the top ways to connect.

Here are four of our Project Spaces top lunch spots for meeting clients.
