Best Spanakopita in Toronto

“Forty sheets of phyllo, a field of spinach, and feta doing what feta was born to do.”

Spanakopita

What the real thing tastes like

Hand-stretched phyllo brushed with olive oil, packed with spinach cooked down with dill and spring onion, and salted feta throughout. The top must shatter; the middle must be green and dense. Village versions with homemade phyllo are thicker and chewier, city versions crackle — both camps are certain they are right.

The shatter is the review — flakes on the shirt are cited as evidence of quality. Dill divides the audience narrowly, and the bakery-versus-taverna debate runs through the comments with reviewers mapping the best hand-phyllo villages by name.
