Where (and what) the stars ate during TIFF

TIFF 50 has rolled out the red carpet for megastars including Ryan Reynolds, Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson, Keanu Reeves, Sydney Sweeney and Charli XCX. And while they may be rich and famous and seemingly perfect, they’re just like the rest of us in at least one way: celebrities still have to eat. Six days into the film festival, these are the places stars have been spotted enjoying what Toronto’s food scene has to offer. (But TIFF isn’t over yet, so keep checking back as we add to this post.)

Beso by Patria

Who: Rhys Darby and Matt Walsh What: In town for the premiere of Little Lorraine, a film about a Cape Breton drug smuggling ring, Kiwi comedian Rhys Darby sipped martinis at the Charles Khabouth hotspot that hosted the after-party. And Matt Walsh—the hilarious American actor best known for playing Mike McLintock on Veep—looked laid-back and ready to party.

Café Boulud by the Four Seasons

Who: John Mulaney, Olivia Munn and their son, Malcolm Hiệp Mulaney What: Sources can’t confirm what they ordered, but we hope for their kid’s sake that it involved chef Daniel Boulud’s famous madeleines.

Estiatorio Milos

Who: Daniel Craig, Cailee Spaeny, Mila Kunis, Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Thomas Hayden Church, Josh Brolin and Jeremy Renner What: White-tablecloth service set the stage for a true star-studded huddle following the premiere of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. The A-listers feasted on an Oscar-worthy spread of the restaurant’s signature dishes, including keftedakia with mint yogurt and classic Greek spreads, delicate crab cakes, whole grilled lavraki fresh from the on-site fish market, Prime AAA rib-eye, and the brand’s iconic Athenian lobster pasta.

Giulietta

Who: Dua Lipa What: If she managed to levitate to one of the coolest west-end spots, then we would venture a guess that she went for a gold-record dish like the cacio e pepe or the Ibérico pork chop.

Estiatoro Milos (again)

Who: Russell Crowe, Rami Malek, John Slattery, Leo Woodall, Michael Shannon and Richard E. Grant What: After leaving their heavy on-screen subject matter, the Nuremberg cast lightened up by indulging in an opulent spread of Faroe Islands salmon sashimi with yuzu, dill and olive oil; crostini piled high with bigeye tuna tartare, Fresno chilies, onion and fresh herbs; Greek lavraki ceviche; grilled octopus with tender fava beans; crisp calamari; juicy filet mignon skewers; traditional tiropitakia; Athenian cheeses; and to finish, flaky baklava.

Jacobs and Co. Steakhouse

Who: Scarlett Johansson, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Ethan Hawke, Bobby Cannavale, June Squibb and Richard Linklater What: The stars shared the limelight at a post-premiere shindig for two of TIFF’s headliners, Eleanor the Great and Blue Moon—and they came hungry. First-time director Scarlett Johansson flashed her impressive back tattoo as she claimed a corner perch at the bar, where she elegantly devoured mini prime rib sandwiches on popovers with horseradish aïoli. The others mingled before retreating to a quiet booth, where they feasted on a parade of passed hors d’oeuvres: salty Ibérico ham with black truffle hollandaise and grissini, tuna crudo crowned with crème fraîche and caviar, salmon tartare tucked into sesame cones, and tartlets of roasted beets with creamy goat cheese.

Le Germain Hotel

Who: Guillermo del Toro, Oscar Isaac, Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, Felix Kammerer and Charles Dance What: Though not yet unveiled to the public, a forthcoming hotspot (we’ll have the scoop for you soon) quietly hosted a swanky cast dinner for Guillermo del Toro’s shot-in-Toronto movie Frankenstein. Guests indulged in a lavish spread of charcuterie, tuna tataki, bone-in rib-eye, grilled sea bass, toothsome orecchiette, nutty brown-butter asparagus and spiced maple–glazed brussels sprouts. Much like in the film’s trailer, unfortunately, hot monster Jacob Elordi was conspicuously absent.
