1. Cora Breakfast and Lunch
I love Cora! Despite the unhealthily-sized portions (they're ginormous!), I love everything about this place. As a franchise, I know what I'm going to get and at least I can fool myself into believing that I'm not consuming more calories than I…More »
2. Elmwood Spa
I *heart* Elmwood! I clued in to this spa paradise years ago through a gift and I've loved it ever since. It's not inexpensive, but it's definitely the best value in town. In addition to the booked services, access to the 'water therapies' are…More »
3. Scandinave Spa Blue Mountain
I love this place! I just do - there's nothing more surreal then driving through snow squalls with white knuckled tension then finally arrive at this oasis of hot and cold outdoor baths. From the moment I step into the first hot pool with the…More »
4. Manpuku Japanese Eatery
This place is GOOD. Ever since I went there once with Catherine L., I couldn't get this place out of my mind. Since then, I've tried to go there 2 or 3 times, and each time I was thwarted by either getting there too late, or one time, by a roaring…More »
5. Marben
This place is fantastic and worth every penny! The food... oh my gosh, the food! I was trying to think of something that would give this place anythiing less than 5 stars, and I really can't think of anything.
For our party of five on Friday, i…More »
6. Midi Bistro
I love this place! I've been here once before for a regular dinner at this small bistro and while the service was slow, the food was excellent. Yesterday, the place was closed down for a private function... mine! My wonderful friends booked it for…More »
7. Spa Scandinave Montréal
Spaaaahhhh... What a fantastic and absolutely essential way to recover after a night of unspeakable bachelorette partying in Montreal. Serenity embraces you as soon as you step through the small discreet entry way - the dimness a soothing balm to…More »
8. Arepa Café
Toronto, ON M5V 2B3
(416) 362-4111
Category:
Latin American
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Queen Street West
This is definitely a place I found thanks to my fellow yelpers. I have passed this restaurant so many times without even realizing that it was there or the delicious menu that lay inside. I've never even heard of Venesuzlan sandwiches before. I had…More »
9. Babaluu
Toronto, ON M5R 1C2
(416) 515-0587
I've heard about this place for the salsa dancing, but didn't expect the food to be good too! There's a minimum spend of $45 per person if you don't want to pay the $10 cover for the salsa lesson that starts at 9:30pm on a Friday.
It was pretty empty…More »
10. Crispy Roll - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M5V

Categories:

Sushi Bars
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
Red rice inari maki set!!! Inari is fried tofu - and the version served at Crispy Roll is slightly sweet and all deliciousness. For $7.99 plus tax and tip, I indulged in a set of delicious avocado cucumber rolls, avocado inari crispy rolls (the…More »

This place is a solid staple for tasty sushi. It's our go-to place whenever my old colleagues and I… Read more »
11. Delux

Category:
Cuban
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
They have duck on the menu! If there's duck at a restaurant, I must try it, and here, I'm super glad that I did! This is a low key, dark restaurant with some seriously tasty food. I came here with Catherine L for the Telus Tuesday Special, which…More »
12. Flirty Girl Fitness
I enjoy this place - I do! This review is based on the one Coyote Ugly class and a 2-hour weekend Pole Dance workshop. Both times I went in for birthdays and both times sweated it out with lots of fun.
The Pole Dance class was definitely a standout…More »
13. Nadège Patisserie
Toronto, ON M6J 1G2
(416) 368-2009
Having sometime on my hands while on a Queen Street West stroll, I was stopped in my tracks by the curious plain white walled establishment with the big window. With the reflection, I couldn't really see inside and spent a few seconds trying to…More »
14. REmix
Toronto, ON M5V 2B5
Category:
Used, Vintage & Consignment
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Queen Street West
This is what a consignment store should be like. I randomly wandered in early this summer when the store was only half open with half its current inventory. It is definitely worth a visit every time I'm in the area as I never know what I would…More »
15. Soma Chocolatemaker
Toronto, ON M5A 3C4
(416) 815-7662
Category:
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhoods: Distillery District, West Don Lands
Mmm... I'm a chocolate fiend and I could smell the chocolate even before I saw the store which sent me trotting very quickly towards it. My friend and I came all the way here for a meeting as it was between choosing to discuss notes over hot…More »
16. The One That Got Away
I strongly dislike fish in general and this place made me reconsider my bias. Fish and chips should be heavily breaded and greasy right? Not this place! So good...
First timers should definitely try the grilled barramundi. It's so flavourful,…More »
17. Windsor Arms Hotel Tea Room
Toronto, ON M5S 3E7
(416) 971-9666
Category:
Tea Rooms
Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, Yorkville, Downtown Core
The Windsor Arms tearoom is just so much fun! Located inside the first floor of the Windsor Arms hotel just off Bloor, it is a sunny, cozy space that is so fun for people watching. We came here early for a 12:30pm sitting and had our choice of…More »
18. El Convento Rico Club
Toronto, ON M6G 1C4
(416) 588-7800
Category:
Dance Clubs
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park
With the exception of one bartender with an attitude, El Convento Rico was a pretty laid back place for some fun dancing. As a destination, gimmicky club whose selling point is its drag show, it draws in huge crowds of bachelorettes and birthday…More »
19. Gelato Simply Italian
Toronto, ON M5R
(416) 792-6620
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Yorkville
Who doesn't love free stuff? With a free fabfind voucher in hand, hubby and I came here for an after dinner dessert. The deal was fab. Definitely a good business use of group-type vouchers as I would never have otherwise heard of, or gone to this…More »
20. Soma Chocolatemaker
So incredibly happy that this second location is so much more accessible than the original at Distillery. Much as I love the atmosphere in that corner of the town, without a car, it is a bit inconvenient to get to.
This location, so incredibly…More »
