If there’s one thing Michelle Yeoh loves about Toronto, it’s the food.
The Oscar-winning actress spent several months in Toronto filming Star Trek: Section 31 and when she wasn’t in front of the camera, Yeoh was dining at various restaurants in the city.
From a Singaporean cafe to one specializing in French-inspired pastries, the Crazy Rich Asians actress tried numerous dishes at each spot she dined at.
Kiss My Pans shared an Instagram post on Sunday which revealed the actress was leaving the city after she wrapped up filming her latest project.
“Thanks for having your last meal here before you fly home. We’ll miss your face around here. Please come back to Toronto soon,” the post reads.

In an Instagram post, the cafe thanked Yeoh for her support “week after week” after her various “dine-ins and take outs.”
