Restaurants for New Year's dinner in Toronto range from affordable to pricey. You can choose to eat early and party hop or grab a late seating and count down to 2017 as you dine.

The Roncesvalles favourite is a tight little spot, but it's very much worth it if you can make it inside.

Reserve your table for 10 p.m. or later and join them for the countdown.
