Find the premises in Toronto DineSafe by name or address, then open the inspection history for that location. Check both the sign status and the dated findings; a delivery-app name or another branch is not enough to identify the premises.
Pass, Conditional Pass and Closed have different meanings. DineSafe publishes inspection details for the last two years. An older inspection or a search with no match therefore cannot establish today’s conditions or a complete lifetime history.

Read the DineSafe sign and the follow-up
Toronto’s DineSafe explanation defines the sign categories. They should not be translated into NYC letter grades or online review stars.
| DineSafe result | Meaning and next check |
|---|---|
| Pass | No infractions, or only minor infractions, at that inspection. Read any findings rather than treating Pass as zero issues. |
| Conditional Pass | One or more significant infractions. Open the later reinspection to see what was corrected; do not assume a follow-up has occurred merely because time has passed. |
| Closed | A crucial infraction that could not be corrected immediately. Check for a later official result before assuming the premises reopened. |
When the restaurant name returns no exact match
Try the street address and another spelling or former business name, then confirm that the premises is inside the City of Toronto. For a location outside Toronto, use its responsible local public-health authority. If a Toronto premises still cannot be identified, use DineSafe’s enquiry route instead of assuming it passed.
