Best Restaurants Open Late Near U of T

Students of the University of Toronto are no strangers to late nights on campus.

We at Waverley have put together a list of some of our top spots for picking up a late-night meal near U of T. 

Insomnia Restaurant & Lounge 

Insomnia Restaurant & Lounge features a large selection of options including burgers, pasta, fried finger foods, and more. Insomnia also offers vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and halal options. Insomnia truly has something for everyone. Their dinner menu is available every day until 2am, and you can walk there from campus in under 15-minutes. 

Ramen Isshin

Satisfy your ramen craving by enjoying some of the best ramen in the city at Ramen Isshin, located just 15-minutes away from U of T (or 8-minutes from Waverley). We highly recommend one of their most popular dishes, which is the “spicy red miso ramen”. But beware, it is spicy!  Ramen Isshin also has some extremely tasty vegetarian options. Ramen Isshin is open until 12:45am seven days a week.

This iconic dining spot serves a range of your favourite breakfast options, sandwiches, burgers, steak, ribs, chicken, desserts, and more. Fran’s is traditionally open 24-hours a day, though it is currently serving patrons on its patio until 11pm.
