Why Mississauga Is A Foodie’s Paradise
For someone who’s not from the area, Mississauga might sound like a small commuter town with sparse food and restaurant offerings. However, truth… is the best restaurants in Mississauga are world class.
So good.
Worth taking a little day trip for.
The fact that Mississauga is only about 45 minutes away from Toronto makes these restaurants and their inherently chill vibe even more appealing.

The 11 Best Restaurants To Visit In Mississauga
1) Capra’s Kitchen – Best Italian
With decor known as “industrial chic” and pizza that customers rave about, it sounds like this would be a perfect stop. Slide over to Capras post-beach after quickly fixing your hair in the car. You’ll be good to go.
2) Desi Bar and Grill – Best Indian
While you may not expect to find a winning Indian restaurant in a suburb of Toronto, here you are. Customers rave about the food, ambience, and service. As far as the best restaurants in Mississauga go, this is a safe yet eclectic choice.
3) Earls Kitchen + Bar – Square One
Yeah, yeah, I know. It’s a chain restaurant. However, Earls’ food (let’s be honest) is super satisfying and generally high quality. The Earls in Mississauga does the chain justice with a sleek interior, consistently good food, and great service.
5) Karahi Boys – Best Traditional Karahi of the Best Restaurants in Mississauga
What is karahi, you ask? It’s a savoury dish from the Indian subcontinent, noted for its blend of spices. It’s also a style of deep cooking pot, within which these delicious dishes are prepared. Why not go and try it for yourself?
6) Lion City – Best Singaporean
Lion City isn’t fancy (it’s in a strip mall), but the food is really good and the prices are reasonable. They also serve Malaysian, Indonesian, and Thai food.
7) Plaka – Best Greek
With generous portions and friendly staff, Plaka Restaurant in Mississauga describes themselves as a “low-key eatery”. They’re only open for breakfast until late lunch, and word on the street is that they do those meals well enough to not be open for dinner.
Well deserving of a place among the best restaurants in Mississauga, Plaka is famous for being both reasonably priced and delicious.
