Top 5 best pierogi spots in Toronto
Published March 21, 2025 at 2:45 pm
Toronto has diverse districts with equally diverse dumplings, however, the almighty pierogi has long been a city-wide favourite.
Whether you call it pierogi, pyrohy, varenyky, or any other moniker, Toronto is one of the great Canadian hubs for this savory/sweet Slavic treat.
So without further ado, here are the top spots in Toronto to grab yourself a plate.
Pierogi King’s
Kicking things off with a royal touch, Pierogi King’s is a new spot in the heart of Roncesvalles.
While the neighbourhood is known for its Polish influence, this locale of Ukrainian origin makes incredibly flavourful pierogies, with standout varieties like cottage cheese and savoury mushroom.
While it may be an easy spot to miss in the hustle and bustle of ‘Roncy,’ if you are ever lost, look for the storefront window featuring the staff handmaking the pierogies themselves!
Heavenly Perogy
While it may be a shock to some — and none to others — one of the best pierogi spots in all of Toronto is conveniently located in a church basement. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be particularly pious to grab a bite here as the entire food hall is open to the public for dine-in and take-out.
With that said, this place has certainly earned its title, as the pierogies here are divine.
If you ever visit this Bathurst sanctuary, we suggest the Heavenly Perogy meal.
This is the definitive pierogi experience: 12 pierogies topped with caramelized onion, bacon, green onion, sour cream, and a heaping side of coleslaw.
Cafe Polonez
Making a U-turn back to Roncesvalles, we arrive at Cafe Polonez.
This local institution, known for perfecting regional Polish cuisine, also has one of the best selections of pierogies in the city.
While most of the entries on our list have been classically steamed/boiled, these Polish-style fried pierogies, apart from being massive, are also incredibly flavourful and feature options like minced pork, sauerkraut, and seasonal fruit.
European Delight
A well-kept secret inside Toronto’s most historic shopping location —St. Lawrence Market.
European Delight is a humble food stand on the lower levels of the market and offers a wide selection of Euro/Slavic cuisine options and amazing pierogies.
Whether grabbing frozen for home or just for a snack while walking the market, these small yet savoury dumplings pack a mighty punch.
Hasting’s Snack Bar
Closing things out, we have what may be the best pierogi spot in Toronto.
Hidden on a residential street in Leslieville, Hasting’s Snack Bar is known as a home-cooked breakfast nook for locals and visitors alike.
However, this location does much more than sausage and eggs, as their pierogies feel like a warm hug from grandma after being caught in the rain.
Boiled, steamed, and covered in caramelized onion, dill, and parsley, these cottage cheese pierogies will keep you coming back.
