1. Old York Bar & Grill
Toronto, ON M5V 1C9
(416) 703-9675
Categories:
Pubs,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Niagara
I'll put this plain and simple.
I live above a British-style pub with a full menu, a good run of taps, an okay whisky list, and waitresses that wear school-girl short tartan skirts. And yet, this is not my local.
I go across the street to the Old York…More »
2. Oyster Boy
Toronto, ON M6J 1G3
(416) 534-3432
Category:
Seafood
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
Firstly, don't think that you won't enjoy Oyster Boy if you don't dig on oysters. Myself, I feel that if you have to eat cold, slimy naturally-occurring-grey meat, oysters are the way to go. I think they're tasty but I can completely understand why…More »
3. Rosebud
Toronto, ON M6J 1E6
(416) 703-8810
Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
I first heard about this place after landing at Queen and Broadview and, having to wait for a bit for my friends to arrive, popped into a drink at the Citizen (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...), a very cool retro-50s style restaurant. In talking with the…More »
4. The Black Tomato
It's down in the market with all the other little pretty places, but this one I always make a point of going to. Is it the beer list (ample)? The wine list (acceptable)? The menu with suggested beer or wine pairings with every dish (time-saving)?…More »
5. The Keystorm Pub
If this place was in Toronto, it would be equally as busy and I'd be surprised that it wasn't a franchise by now. But if it were to move here, it'd probably lose the "where did you come from" charm that it currently has. The interior is rustic yet…More »
6. Burrito Boyz
Toronto, ON M5H 1W7
(647) 439-4065
Category:
Tex-Mex
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
Typically, everyone's introduction to Burrito Boys begins with an incredulous look and "You've never been to Burrito Boys???!? Oh, man. We're going!" Somewhat tucked away from downtown but hardly a large distance, Burrito Boys provides a nice…More »
7. Ruth's Chris Steak House
Toronto, ON M5H 2L2
(416) 955-1455
Category:
Steakhouses
Neighbourhoods: Financial District, Downtown Core
I know it's an American franchise, I know it's à la carte dining, but I still remember my first time there and the quality of the steak really blew me away. Nothing has changed in successive visits so it remains to be one of my favourite places to…More »
8. Coco Rice Thai Cuisine
This place used to be a little hole-in-the-wall diner owned by a Polish (I think) family that served up decent food and had a menu that was so unchallenging you could take your parents there without question.
It has since changed hands and CoCo Rice…More »
9. Pizzaiolo
Toronto, ON M6J 1E4
(416) 507-9944
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhoods: West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
I am not one for fancy, thin crust, pizza-with-toppings-that-have- no-business-on-a-pizza-snow-pe as-are-you-kidding-me pizza. I like a nice crust, a decent amount of cheese, and ingredients that you should be able to find in Italy. Not a huge fan of…More »
10. Vesuvio Pizzeria & Spaghetti House
Toronto, ON M6P 1Z3
(416) 763-4191
My first run-in with Vesuvio's was when I lived in the area. I decided to take a walk down another side street to get to work on a day that turned out to be Recycling Day. Every house on High Park Avenue had a blue box out by the curb in front of…More »
11. Grekos Pizzeria
Firstly I hate it when Mom and Dad fight. But if it weren't for a clash of the partners at Milano's (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) in Gananoque, this place would never exist. I don't know the details of the fracas, but it was enough for one of the two…More »
12. Big Smoke Burger
Craft Burger is new to my neck of the woods, and with any place that is new and has the word 'burger' in the title, I've got to check it out. From the menu side, price-wise anyway, they seem to be putting themselves forward as a place for the…More »
13. The Real Jerk
The Real Jerk is pretty quintessential. As I sat there, it became pretty apparent that they do a lot of business with take-away and delivery. I got the feeling as well that some of the folks asking for take-out did not live in the area and were…More »
