About Us

What we do

At Best in Toronto, we make it easy to find Toronto's best. Whether we're looking at estoric things like The Best Free Things To Do On a Weekend to The Best Hotels in Toronto to the Top 10 Plumbers, our goal is to serve as your guide to all that this great city has to offer. To do that we do extensive consumer research and assessments.

Meet our team

We’re your most curious friends, your food-obsessed neighbours, that friendly know-it-all you stood in line with at the post office last week. We’re here to share our knowledge and satisfy our own curiosities about the place we all call home. Our team of Torontonians is constantly out and about (or should we say "oot and aboot"?!), comparing spec sheets, evaluating prices, testing products, and interviewing consumers.

Aliu Isa may have a Bachelor’s in Accounting from Osun State University, but his real love has always been writing and technology. He writes about new tech and cybersecurity, and has even written educational content on the latter topic. That being said, Aliu doesn’t restrict himself when it comes to his writing: he says he enjoys writing about Toronto's food scene almost as much as tech.

How do we find the best of everything?

It all begins with research. By cross-referencing recommendations from initial polls to overall customer ratings, we narrow down our lists to the top options. Then we apply rigorous sets of criteria for each service to determine which providers to test for our reviews.

How do we make money?

We're reader-supported. We may sometimes earn a commission when a reader clicks through a link on our site, but this doesn't affect our reviews: we review all companies and services independently and only ever recommend products we genuinely believe in.
