Best restaurants in Markham’s Main Street Unionville
NextDoor Restaurant
You’ll find modern and seasonal Canadian dishes with a twist at NextDoor, and they even have brunch almost everyday of the week.
I love how unique their dishes are, and they’ve got creations like their French Onion Cheeseburger and Fried Chicken & Caviar!
They even have their own parking lot, which is a rarity in Main Street Unionville.
NextDoor is actually a sister restaurant to the popular Markham brunch spot, Smash Kitchen and Bar!
LOCATION: 139 Main St Unionville, Unionville, ON
Inspire Restaurant
Inspire is a fantastic restaurant in Markham serving up Asian fusion dishes, and you can find them in Main Street Unionville.
From their Shiitake Udon Carbonara to their Torched Salmon Rice Bowl, they’ve got a fantastic selection of dishes.
Their decor is very eclectic and fun as well!
LOCATION: 144 Main St N #1, Markham, ON

Il Postino
Upscale Italian cuisine is what you’ll find at this beautiful converted-house-turned-restaurant in Main Street Unionville.
They offer a modern take on Italian classics with their house-made pastas and pizzas!
If you’re a seafood lover, you’ll definitely want to try their Grilled Seafood Platter.
LOCATION: 186 Main St, Unionville, ON

Unionville Arms Pub & Grill
The Unionville Arms has been a staple in Main Street Unionville since 1989, and you can find all the classic pub staples with other delicious fusion eats.
They’ve got 16 beer taps, including local craft brews if you’re into that!
They have a super nice patio that’s perfect for hanging out with your friends, and it’s even heated for those chillier summer nights.
A historic 1800s building used to sit here before a fire broke out in 2008, which was once a blacksmith shop, auto repair garage, playhouse, York Region’s first movie theatre, restaurant, general store, and post office!
LOCATION: 189 Main St Unionville, Unionville, ON

Jake’s on Main
Jake’s has one of the nicest patios in Main Street Unionville, and they’ve got a large menu of everything from poutines to burgers!
They’ve also got an extensive drink menu with plenty of cocktails, wines, and beers on tap.
Order one of their mega 32oz cocktails to share with your partner or friend!
LOCATION: 202 Main St Unionville, Unionville, ON
Chat Bar
In the mood for some delicious izakaya eats?
Chat Bar is an izakaya-style Chinese spot known for their chuan’r (AKA Chinese skewers), and you can find them on Main Street Unionville.
It’s the perfect spot to grab savoury skewers and beer, and they’re even open late.
They have all kinds of delicious meat and veggie skewer options (try their lamb skewers), plus other Chinese comfort food options.
You can also find them in Scarborough, North York, and downtown!
LOCATION: 187 Main St, Unionville, ON

Hibiki Japanese Cuisine
If you’re in the mood for a nice meal, Hibiki is the perfect spot to visit.
Hibiki is located just outside of Main Street Unionville, and they serve up some of the best sushi in Markham!
They serve up some of the freshest sashimi in town, and they have all kinds of authentic Japanese dishes on the menu.

They’ve also got delicious cooked dishes like Yakionigiri (grilled rice balls), Black Cod Misozuke (grilled black cod), and Seared Foie Gras & Scallop!

If you’re a fan of tasting menus, they offer set menus during holidays like Valentine’s Day and Christmas, perfect for sampling a bunch of different Japanese dishes (and sushi!)


My family and I visited for my dad’s birthday and tried the Christmas set menu, and the sushi was definitely our favourite part of the entire meal.

The interior of the restaurant is also lovely, with plenty of booth seating!
If you’re familiar with restaurants in Richmond Hill and Markham, you might remember their sister restaurant Inatei, which sadly shut down years ago!
Hibiki is actually located right next door to Platform Espresso Bar, which is an adorable coffee shop in Markham that also serves great brunch.
LOCATION: 4450 Hwy 7, Unionville, ON

Hi Lorna, I'd recommend Il Postino for Italian or NextDoor for unique fusion dishes, but definitely check their hours closer to then to see if they'll be open! Enjoy your trip :)
