Subreddit guides combine public Reddit source URLs, captured rules, visible verification dates, and Rankhog's account-safety workflow.
This community is a welcoming space for everyone who is interested in food and drink in Toronto. People post photos, menus, dishes, and websites to showcase great places in the GTA. The goal is to create the best resource for GTA food, and discussion is encouraged in the comments.
The rules that will determine if your post survives are Be friendly, Posts must be about the GTA, Post about things in restaurants or food facilities, Don't hate on food/experiences, Use Search before posting, Be transparent if you work for a brand/restaurant, No advertising/promotion/referral links, and Apps / Surveys / Market Research.
A good post should be a genuine showcase of a great food experience or a helpful recommendation. If you are recommending a place, make sure you include photos, specify where the food is from, and provide all the necessary details like location and budget. If you work for a brand, you must disclose your affiliation and only post that recommendation in an existing thread.
You must avoid being toxic or making excessive complaints about restaurants, even if you dislike the experience. Do not post referral links or any direct advertising. You also must not post homemade cooking, as this community is focused on professional food facilities.

If you are a founder or employee of a restaurant, you cannot create a post promoting your business. However, you are welcome to recommend your establishment in existing threads as long as you are clear about your affiliation.
You must be very specific when asking for recommendations. If your question lacks details about the location, your budget, the size of your group, or any dietary restrictions, it will likely be removed.
This community is strictly for food and drink from facilities in the GTA. Homemade cooking posts belong in other subreddits like r/Food or r/Cooking.
You should use the subreddit search function before you post a common question or ask for a recommendation to ensure you are not asking something that has already been answered.
