30 Day Yelp Challenge: The Sequel
See All Lists
1. Grand Experiences
I will try to remain calm as I write this review... TRY being the key word. We drove about an hour and a half to arrive in Paris, ON for a "guided" rafting tour. When I contacted Grand Experiences, they stated that the only rafting time they had…More »
2. Barista Espresso Bar
Toronto, ON M6K 3P6
(416) 233-2331
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Liberty Village
Barista Espresso Bar is one of the many hangout spots that are sprouting in Liberty Village. I do not find myself here very often, but I arrived a tad early for the Yelp Elite event: Masquerade @ Bar Vespa. Since I had some time to kill and it was…More »
3. Gourmet Malaysia
Scarborough, ON M1S 2V7
(647) 764-1188
Categories:
Singaporean,
Malaysian
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
I discovered Gourmet Malaysia through its take-out counterpart across the street, Gourmet Garden. As of last week, Gourmet Garden was still running shop.
My family has been a long-time customer of Gourmet Garden, and we always order the Hainanese…More »
4. Nota Bene
Toronto, ON M5V 3X3
(416) 977-6400
Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
*3-1/2 stars*
It amazes me how the same restaurant can yield 2 different experiences. My first experience at Nota Bene was a little disappointing. Although they used high quality ingredients, I didn't think the food was anything special. But cue…More »

Nota Bene is classified as American (New) cuisine on Yelp, but I think I'd call it more Fusion based… Read more »
5. Aldo Shoes
Toronto, ON M5B 2H1
(416) 593-9146
Categories:
Shoe Stores,
Accessories
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Aldo Shoes is like the Ikea of shoe stores... while their footwear is trendy and chic, the quality is lacking. Their footwear is also overpriced, but still more affordable than other high end retailers such as Town Shoes and Brown's. The only…More »
6. Pizza Roma & Restaurant
Toronto, ON M6H 1M6
(416) 531-4000
Ristorante Roma is sort of out of place on this strip of Bloor which is home to more "mom and pop" type dining options.
The updated decor, credited towards Restaurant Makeover, makes this quite the popular spot to hang out. Other reasons include a…More »
7. Opera Atelier
Toronto, ON M5C 1G9
(416) 703-3767
Neighbourhoods: St. Lawrence, Downtown Core
Last night I attended the Opera Atelier's production of Armide. A story about a Muslim princess who is tormented by the love for her kingdom, and the love of a Christian knight, Renaud. This was an opera written by Jean-Baptiste Lully, who was the…More »

8. Wal-Mart
Scarborough, ON M1L 2L9
(416) 915-5517
Category:
Department Stores
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
This Wal-Mart has everything you need. So expect the line-ups to be long.
They have a bakery section, a deli counter, and most items you'd find at a groceries store. Meat, produce, dairy etcetera.
They have rows after rows of cashiers, though I…More »
9. Boehmer
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z2
(416) 531-3800
Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
Homer is a term in baseball which refers to a "base hit on which the batter scores a run" - more commonly known as a home run. If I were to use baseball terms to describe my experiences at Boëhmer, I would probably use the term - bunt. Why? Well a…More »

10. Scheffler's Delicatessen
Toronto, ON M5E 1C3
(416) 364-2806
Categories:
Delis,
Cheese Shops
Neighbourhoods: St. Lawrence, Downtown Core
Scheffler's is one of my favourites in the St. Lawrence Market. With an extensive deli section, a selection of cheese, yogurts and an olive bar which also includes items such as housemade hummus, tzatziki, roasted red peppers, sundried tomatoes and…More »
11. Second Cup
Toronto, ON M5V 1J5
(416) 340-9888
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
As Fabio N. stated its very hard to review any of the cookie-cutter, head-office-regulated big-chain places. Second Cup is no different. This particular location is small. I would advise ensuring there is seating available before you pay for your…More »
12. Milagro Restaurant and Cantina
Toronto, ON M5V 1H2
(416) 850-2855
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
I, like Rafi N. have not eaten out at many Mexican restaurants (at least not in Toronto).
I found myself at Milagro's as the first stop of Dishcrawl King Street Part 1 of 2.
The pros:
Friendly service
Complimentary Pitcher of Sangria
Good selection of…More »
13. Café 260
Came to Café 260 with a voucher in hand for $12 worth of goodies.
It is located near George Brown College and no doubt students are their biggest clients.
It is home to a few cozy couches and wi-fi is available but you will have to inquire as to the…More »
14. The Designer Cookie Boutique & Bakeshop
Toronto, ON M4R
(416) 619-1197
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Yonge and Eglinton
I have never been a huge cupcake fan, but boutique cupcake shops have been popping up around Toronto everywhere and foodies are yapping a lot about cupcakes... Have they replaced macarons as the newest sweet craze?! And with deals popping up for…More »
15. Kama Classical Indian Cuisine
Toronto, ON M5H 3S6
(416) 599-5262
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
I came here as part of Dishcrawl and didn't get to sample their entire menu, but what I sampled was quite good.
The Aloo Papri Chaat was like a threesome (of sweet, sour and spicy) happening in your mouth. The dish was served cold, which threw me off…More »
16. Big Daddy's Crabshack & Oyster Bar
Toronto, ON M5H 1K5
(416) 599-5200
Categories:
Seafood,
Cajun/Creole
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
Big Daddy's - I can't count the number of times that an oyster recommendation has been requested and this name comes up!
Unfortunately, oysters were not a part of the Dishcrawl menu so I'll have to go back!
The venue itself is pretty cool. In the…More »
17. Beauty Buzz Studio
Toronto, ON M5C 3C6
(416) 363-6861
Category:
Nail Salons
Neighbourhoods: St. Lawrence, Downtown Core
Seeing as I leave everything to the last minute I came to Beauty Buzz to do my nails prior to the day I was leaving for Montreal. After all, I would be going to the Opera de Montreal, and I don't know how the usual theatre crowd would've felt about…More »
18. Ouzeri
Toronto, ON M4K 1P6
(416) 778-0500
Categories:
Greek,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhoods: The Danforth, Greektown
***1/2 stars
Ouzeri is one of the landmark restaurants located on the Danforth, otherwise known as Greektown. Its $25 prix-fixe menu is no doubt a big bonus, although upon leaving dinner and walking along the strip, I noticed many other restaurants…More »
19. Air Canada Express By Sky Regional
I have never been a fan of Air Canada and their monopoly over Canadian airwaves! This allowed them to charge whatever they wanted but provide shitty service! I never fly them.
But I cannot pass up a good deal. With double occupancy rates I got a…More »
20. DAVIDsTEA
Of all the places I could go in Montreal I somehow ended up at Davids Tea while killing time before our Dinnet reservations at La Salle à Manger.
I ordered the Matcha because I've always wanted to try it and have heard about how expensive it is. I had…More »
21. Parc du Mont-Royal
Being here in November would no doubt limit the amount of activities happening at Parc Mont Royal - but its still worth the trek to get to the top to see the view of Montreal. If my legs weren't absolutely shot from all the walking I'd been doing I…More »
22. Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport
I love the convenience of flying out of the Toronto City (aka Billy Bishop) Airport. Who the heck is Billy B? A quick google will tell you that he was a First World War Flying Ace.
The airport is tiny (and although there are a world of negative…More »
23. La Crêperie Bretonne Le Triskell
As much as there are sour points with La Creperie Bretonne, its really not as bad as some reviewers have made it out to be. I came here after a night out at the Opera de Montreal for some sweet crepes.
One must keep in mind that the crepes we are…More »
24. Hôtel Chez Swann
I always try to stay away from the chain hotels, but sometimes my shallow wallet just can't afford the big price tags associated with staying at boutique hotels. Lucky for me, I found a deal that included flight and hotel for $500 for 4 nights.…More »
25. Point G
Montreal, QC H2J 1Y3
(514) 750-7515
Categories:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
Desserts
I can't remember how I discovered macarons, but ever since I've discovered them I've always hunted for them no matter where I go (especially if its a French place I'm going).
I had previously tried La Maison du Macaron in Montréal and then found out…More »
26. Porchetta & Co
Toronto, ON M6J
(647) 352-6611
Category:
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Trinity Bellwoods
When I first walked up to Porchetta and saw the same steamy windows that I often see at my house when my mother is cooking up a storm - I knew it would be good!
The huge lineup (about 3 people waiting to dine-in and 2 waiting for take-out) in such a…More »
27. Kono Pizza
Kono Pizza originated out of Italy and has finally come to Canada (Montréal). They serve up none other than Pizza-in-a-Cone!
You can get the Trifecta combo which includes a Kono of your choice + choice of either salad/soup/dessert kono + beverage.…More »
28. Restaurant l'Academie
How often do you stumble across a BYOW (bring your own wine) restaurant? As a Torontonian, I haven't!
Although that was not what lured me to Restaurant l'Academie, its an interesting concept. It is a multi-storey, house-converted restaurant with…More »
29. Prairie Girl Bakery
Toronto, ON M5H 1A1
(416) 504-2253
First things first, you will pay a premium to enjoy this treat. But then again, bad for your wallet probably equates to better for your waistline?!
As per their website Prairie Girl "...never use preservatives, hydrogenated or "trans" fats, or…More »
30. Marché Bonsecours de Montréal
Montreal, QC H2Y 1H2
(514) 872-7730
Categories:
Art Galleries,
Shopping Centres
If you want to spend an afternoon browsing at useless stuff you'll never use, come here. The only thing I like is the physical attributes of the building and the fact that its in Old Montreal. At least you can escape to other better sights and…More »
31. Le Bremner
When I finally decided I was going to book my trip to Montréal, I knew that Chuck Hughes' newest addition, Le Bremner would be on my "To Eat" list.
After his Iron Chef fame where he defeated Bobby Flay with his Lobster Poutine, demand has been through…More »
