1. Fresh
Toronto, ON M5V 2L7
(416) 599-4442
Categories:
Vegetarian,
Vegan
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
**3.5**
For Christmas, I'd like my own personal Fresh chef in my pocket.
Fresh has done an excellent job reaching out to the general carnivore with their mainstream vegetarian dishes. I have been to Fresh countless times and I am always recommending it…More »
2. Rawlicious
Toronto, ON M4W 1J5
(416) 646-0705
Categories:
Vegan,
Vegetarian
Neighbourhood: Yorkville
If I eat too much zucchini, will I turn green?
That pretty much describes my meal experience at Rawlicious. It was my first go at a raw, vegan restaurant and it was pleasant enough, but let's just say I won't be going there for my birthday. **BUT,…More »
3. Japango Sushi & Noodle Restaurants
Toronto, ON M5G 1P5
(416) 599-5557
Category:
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
I actually took the time to read what others have said about Japango before writing this review because I feel this strange guilt about not liking this restaurant.
I must admit before we go any further that I may be a bit of a sushi-snob having grown…More »
4. Big Daddy's Crabshack & Oyster Bar
Toronto, ON M5H 1K5
(416) 599-5200
Categories:
Seafood,
Cajun/Creole
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
If anyone knows Big Daddy personally, could you tell him Happy Hour called and said it isn't as happy as it used to be?
First of all, I feel bad for all the other reviewers who have not discovered the wonders of their Happy Hour (aka the now Voodoo…More »
5. Aunties & Uncles
Who are these hipster aunties and uncles and why are they so popular?
After numerous recommendations to visit Aunties and Uncles, I finally did this Sunday afternoon at 2pm. We figured it was smart to go just before closing so it'd be dying down by…More »
6. Mother's Dumplings
Toronto, ON M5T 2A8
(416) 217-2008
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
*3.5*
Ever since I can remember I been eating my dumpringz, I been eating my dumpringz, I been eating my dumpringz
My grandfather is an excellent cook, as is my mother, so my childhood was filled with warm fuzzy memories of folding dumplings and…More »
7. Asuka Japanese Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5R 1B9
(416) 975-9084
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Yorkville
*The 4-star is in consideration of the standards of other Toronto sushi restaurants, but probably a 3 to 3.5 in comparison to all other sushi I've had in my life*
Asuka didn't even know it, but she had a very tough sushi critic and her +1 visit for an…More »
8. Kenzo Ramen
I freaking love Ramen. Authentic Ramen. But since I am no longer flying to Japan every weekend, I'm a beggar and not a chooser now, am I? And what are ramen beggars left with? Kenzo.
This new location used to be the home of Bowl, a pan Asian…More »
9. The County General
Toronto, ON M6J 1G9
(416) 531-4447
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Bars
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
I was going to Yelp this earlier, but the County General sent me straight into a food coma once I got home. Well done, General, well done.
So I've been waiting to go to CG for lunch for a while now and today was my lucky day. Situated at the fantastic…More »
10. W Burger Bar
Been a long time patron of W Burger Bar and my only regret is that they don't stay open later than they do on weekdays.
I started visiting when it first opened (they had awesome burger deals in the beginning!) but have since then stopped eating most…More »
11. Sobey's
The other day my co-workers were speaking about this new Sobey's and bashing on the Metro that's just down the stairs from it. Meanwhile all I could do was quietly sulk in the corner because unfortunately that dreary Metro is my neighborhood grocery…More »
12. Kokoni Izakaya
Toronto, ON M4Y 2C8
(647) 346-0886
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
I should've gone to Guu.
My bad for being tricked into entering a restaurant self-titled "Izakaya". I should really be less of a noob and not trust Japanese food in Toronto anymore. The atmosphere is alright, very spacious... but it is yet another…More »
13. Harlem Underground
Toronto, ON M6J 1G1
(416) 366-4743
Category:
Cajun/Creole
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
You know those blind dates you get set up for? Your date shows up, she's kind of pretty, has a nice body and a decent smile? Then you get talking and find out she shares your fave colour and music, and you think "alright! this might be it!" Chatting…More »
14. Starbucks
Brand new location!
I really enjoyed the decor. They had a huge wooden table that would be awesome to study on, if one didn't have to share it with 5 other strangers. They also had a small wooden bar table that ran along their large windows (seats…More »
15. Home Of Hot Taste
Home of Hot! Home of Hot! Home of Hot! The Korean server boys are so friendly here, even to non-Koreans. I think they could all be K-Pop stars with their charm. They sure make this customer smile.
I really can't count how many times I've turned to…More »
16. The Scone Witch
How about a story in which the evil, ugly Witch is not the bad guy but an amazing saint who makes the best scones in the world?
I was in Ottawa on a layover and looked up good eats... et voila! Peeps led me to the Scone Witch and they were not lying.…More »
17. Daybreak Diner
Toronto, ON M5B 2J6
(416) 598-0004
Category:
Diners
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
One big reason I do not intend to move for a while: I have four large breakfast/brunch joints within pyjama-walking distance from me. How would I survive lazy weekends or killer hangover/post-drinking hunger without them?? My muse of late is…More »
18. Wow! Sushi
Toronto, ON M4Y 1R4
(416) 923-1888
Category:
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
I was on my way home thinking what quick lunch can I grab to go? Yelp found me Wow! Sushi just down the street.
Quite a small store but it was nice and clean. The owners were extremely friendly from the second I stepped in. One pulled out a chair for…More »
19. Indigo Books Music & More
Toronto, ON M4W 1A5
(416) 925-3536
Category:
Bookstores
Neighbourhoods: Yorkville, Downtown Core
They always have celebrities come! Isn't that cool? Bill Clinton is coming next week!!!!
Anyway, this is a huge branch of Indigo books, however extremely lacking escalators/elevators. I don't know the reason for this but all their stores seem to think…More »
20. Good For Her
Good For Her is really good for her, him and anyone who is in touch with their sexuality or trying to discover it.
Good For Her is a gold star example of what an adult, sex-positive store should be - none of that trashy big-boobed-mannequin-from-main…More »
21. Okonomi House Restaurant
Toronto, ON M4Y 2R4
(416) 925-6176
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Tonkatsu sauce + mayo + bonito flakes + aonori = the best.
It's been a while since I've eaten at Okonomi House and I'm glad we rediscovered our friendship! Neither the location nor interior is very exciting, and definitely not the service... the red…More »
22. Grazie Ristorante
Toronto, ON M4P 2C8
(416) 488-0822
Category:
Italian
Neighbourhoods: Mount Pleasant and Davisville, Yonge and Eglinton
I rarely trek out of my Downtown comfort circle for food experiences so Grazie must be a worthwhile restaurant for me to have made more than one trip. My friend raved and raved about this place for months before I set foot in it the first time that I…More »
23. The Comrade
My comrade (read: roommate) introduced me and everyone else to The Comrade for her birthday party which was pretty cool because I would not venture all the way out there for a bar.
It was dark in there, and usually good things happen at darkly lit,…More »
24. Esplanade Bier Markt
Toronto, ON M5E 1R2
(416) 862-7575
Categories:
Belgian,
Gastropubs
Neighbourhood: St. Lawrence
Do you really enjoy beer? Go here. Do you really enjoy hip, crowded party scenes? Go here. Do you enjoy beer but hate crowds? Don't go here on the weekend. (My rating of the place really jumps from a 3 - 4 depending what I am there for, but I do…More »
25. Pizzeria Libretto
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z8
(416) 532-8000
My girlfriend gets major props for bringing me to another five-star worthy restaurant!
Got there for about 6:30. We were told it would be 45min to 1 hour wait, so we walked around and got a pint nearby. We got a call from them sooner than we expected!…More »
26. Manpuku Japanese Eatery
This is feel good food right hurr. I can come here when I miss Japan and be comforted by udon, onigiri and nattou. And I can eat without worrying grease and sodium. That's comforting too.
This is a very tucked away joint but your life will feel more…More »
27. Asahi Sushi
Have you ever ordered a Nabe udon and been given a dirty look for it? Have you ever received a Nabe udon with a side dish of yelling and lecture by the store owner? I have, at Asahi Sushi.
I went there a few weeks ago and had the worst dining…More »
28. Hair Of The Dog
Toronto, ON M4Y 2C3
(416) 964-2708
Category:
Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
How fob am I? I knew "hair of the dog" was some kind of expression but I had to go to my second fave website to find out what it meant. Oops.
With that said, I can certainly see myself coming here for the hair of the dog remedy. I can also see myself…More »
29. Metro
Do you like shopping for groceries in a dimly lit cave? Then you'll love this metro! It makes everyday feel like a nasty rainy day!
With that said, sadly you'll find me here most days to pick up food items (until a certain grocery giant opens...…More »

Category:
Grocery
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
Grand opening! I have waited for this day for a whole year, ever since rumours started popping up that I may be rescued from my grocery-shopping misery. I never thought I would see this day during my lifetime, considering the slow construction of the…More »
