The 4 Best Restaurants in Toronto’s Annex and Yorkville to Earn Cashback
As the summer starts to wind down, Torontonians are itching to get outside and enjoy the last few weeks of summer weather and patio season. Here at dipp, we recognize the tremendous impact the local community has had on bringing business back to restaurants, bars, cafes and more this summer. This week we’re featuring two well-known Toronto neighbourhoods: The Annex and Yorkville. While they’re located side-by-side, these two areas couldn’t be more different.
The Annex
Welcome to Toronto’s Annex! Located right next to the University of Toronto’s St. George Campus, The Annex is a lively area filled with students, working professionals, and families. The streets are lined with casual dining spots, bars, cafes, bookshops, boutique stores and more. There is also a residential side to The Annex where you can find beautiful old homes and huge leafy trees lining the streets.
1. Eva’s Original Chimneys - 10% Cashback
Address: 454 Bloor St W, Toronto, ON M5S 1X8
What are Chimney Cakes? Delicious, freshly baked Hungarian pastries that are crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They are rolled out and wrapped like a ribbon creating a “chimney” look. Eva’s Chimneys are rolled in cane sugar and then filled with ice cream. Check out Eva's mouth-watering menu for all the different combinations, flavours, toppings, and more. A Chimney Cake from Eva’s is the perfect treat on a hot summer day. Next time you’re in The Annex, be sure to stop by!
2. Gabby’s - 10% Cashback

Today, Gabby’s is a mainstream casual dining spot with a sports bar area where you can enjoy the game with friends. Gabby's delicious menu is filled with authentic bar food, including fish and chips, brisket burgers, fries made from Ontario potatoes, salads and more. They also have over 20 vegetarian items on their menu!
Yorkville
Toronto’s Yorkville neighbourhood is a top destination for shopping and fine-dining. Filled with high-end boutiques, galleries, studios and more, Yorkville truly stands out from other Toronto areas. Its restaurant scene features chic cafes, upscale bars, and fine-dining restaurants. Yorkville’s luxury hotels often host folk from Hollywood during the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).

Trattoria Nervosa serves up delicious home-cooked Southern Italian food. Check out the Trattoria Nervosa menu to find a list of tasty cocktails, salads, pizzas, pasta, and desserts. They also have an extensive wine list to pair with any item on the menu.
