Influencer marketing in Toronto for restaurants and local brands
Eros connects Toronto restaurants, cafes, salons, studios and consumer brands with local creators who apply because they want to go there. Plans start at $99 a month, and you approve every creator and every post.
Creators who live where your customers live
Toronto is where Eros started. A post from someone with 6,000 followers in Leslieville will do more for a Leslieville restaurant than a 500K account whose followers are spread across three countries. So we match on audience location as well as taste.
- Creators across Queen West, Ossington, Leslieville, Kensington, the Annex, North York, Scarborough and Mississauga
- Filter by where their audience lives, not just where they do
- See each creator's rank and delivery record before you approve
- Card on file for every creator, so no-shows are on them
- Approve every post before it goes live

Toronto questions
How much does influencer marketing cost in Toronto?
On Eros a standard account is $199 a month month to month, or $149 and $99 a month on 6 and 12 month plans, with no setup fee. Most Toronto restaurant campaigns are gifted, so the creator gets a meal for two in exchange for a Reel and a Story, and your cost is the food. Agencies in Toronto usually charge a monthly retainer on top of creator fees, which is why a platform is often the cheaper way to start.
How do I find food influencers in Toronto?
You can search Instagram and TikTok and message people one by one, or post a campaign on Eros and let Toronto food creators apply to you. Every applicant shows their rank score, where their audience lives, and their delivery record, so you are not guessing.
Should I hire an influencer marketing agency in Toronto or use a platform?
An agency makes sense for national campaigns, celebrity creators, or when you want someone else to handle everything including paid ads. For a restaurant that wants local people through the door, a platform is usually faster and cheaper, and you stay in control of who comes in. We compare the two honestly here.
How do I measure whether it worked?
Your Eros dashboard tracks reach, likes, comments, shares and saves for every post. Pair that with what happens in the venue: covers on the nights you ran it, redemptions of any promo code you gave creators, and clicks on your reservation link.
