Do you recognize the colorful interior of Joso’s? Well it’s because the restaurant served as the cover art for Drake’s sophomore album, Take Care. Joso’s is a hotspot for celebs as it has attracted other A-listers like Mariah Carey and Mick Jagger!

Next on our list is none other than the renowned up-scale Italian restaurant Sotto Sotto. In the song Pound Cake/Paris Morton Music featuring Jay-Z, Drake raps: “After hours of Il Mulino or Sotto Sotto, just talkin’ women and vino.” If you wish to create some midnight memories chatting up ladies and sipping on some wine just like Drake, then it’s time to book a reservation to Sotto Sotto ASAP!

Location: 3401 Dufferin St, North York.
OK OK we admit – while this restaurant might not be located exactly in Toronto, it still remains as a top rated food spot for the artist. In fact, Drizzy has written some iconic bars about the eatery in the song Child’s Play. Specifically, he raps, “Why you gotta fight with me at Cheesecake? You know I love to go there!”
Did you know? The Cheesecake Factory began first as a bakery business in 1972 which later evolved to become the beloved international chain restaurant that it is today. We love to go there too, Champagne Papi.
