1. Vena's Restaurant
Toronto, ON M6H 1N7
Canada
(416) 532-3665
Category:
Caribbean
Neighbourhoods: Brockton Village, Bloordale Village, Wallace Emerson
Flip off, Mother India[1]. Peace out, Gandhi[2]. I got a new favorite roti dive in town and she's sizzling like a pepperpot. Vena's serves up outrageously delicious West-Indian-style roti, and I'm hooked. Here's why:
- The roti (flatbread) itself is…More »
2. Mother India
What's that noise you hear? Oh, that was me grumbling that Gandhi Roti[1], though delicious, is too expensive for a hole-in-the-wall take-out joint that doesn't even have the decency to throw in some free chutney or pickles--or any other freebies…More »
3. Szechuan Gourmet Restaurant
This was my first time having Hakka cuisine and with about 200 choices on the menu, we left the ordering in the deft hands of Devan R. who's a regular at Szechuan Gourmet.
The two standout dishes of the night were crispy ginger chicken and crispy…More »
4. Sidecar
Toronto, ON M6G 1B2
Canada
(416) 536-7000
Categories:
Modern European,
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Palmerston, Bickford Park
Sidecar is primarily a restaurant[1] but even Mormons will be hard pressed to ignore the liquid portion of the menu. Whoever is creating the drinks has put exquisite care into selecting the best ingredients--in the right proportions--taking the time…More »
5. Mystic Muffin
Toronto, ON M5C 2H4
Canada
(416) 941-1474
Categories:
Sandwiches,
Middle Eastern
Neighbourhoods: Corktown, Downtown Core
No, the name of this place doesn't refer to Jennifer Love Hewitt's vajazzled vajayjay. I'm not sure how it got its name but that's just one of the many questions I have about this kooky little deli/falafel shop, like:
- How can everything be so cheap…More »
6. Batifole Restaurant
Note to other restaurants: Bow down to Batifole, motherpuckers.
I went back recently and wow. Batifole does so many things right from their execution of food, to service, to extremely reasonable pricing. They've added bouillabaisse to the menu, and…More »

Canada
(416) 533-2822
Categories:
Sandwiches,
Seafood
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park
Darnit. The secret seems to be out on this place. In past months, I was the only person there around dinnertime but yesterday, the joint was "swimming" (tee hee) with customers!
They've opened their patio which allows a few more patrons to sit and…More »

8. The Queen And Beaver Public House
Toronto, ON M5G 1H1
Canada
(647) 347-2712
Categories:
Pubs,
Sports Bars
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
If Hannibel Lechter had a favorite pub in Toronto, this would be it.
The Queen and Beaver is a gastropub and that means instead of greasy nachos and wings, you get lamb's tongue and ham knuckle terrine prepared by a proper chef. Frat boys looking to…More »
9. Hodo Kwaja
Toronto, ON M6G 1K9
Canada
(416) 538-1208
You know all that loose change you have jingling in your pockets?
You could spend it on some trans-fatty processed crap from the convenience store that'll make you feel a little gross after you eat it; or head over to Korea Town for fresh walnut cakes…More »
10. Kozlik's Canadian Mustard
Toronto, ON M5E 1C3
Canada
(416) 361-9788
Category:
Specialty Food
Neighbourhoods: St. Lawrence, Downtown Core
"What is like ice, but burns like fire?"
I think they got the riddle wrong in Turandot; the answer should be "Kozlik's mustard."
This was a must-stop during our Yelp tour of St. Lawrence Market. They have a bowl of pretzel sticks for you to sample…More »
11. Khmer Thai Restaurant
Wanna try a zippy new cuisine and eat like a pig for $15 per person? Then Khmer. Get it? "Come here." Oh, I crack myself up.[1]
Not a fan of fish sauce, coconut milk or curries? Then stay home and make room for me and my feedbag.

Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Specialty Food
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
For the S.O.'s birthday, I got him an Indian cooking course. After the class, he was dying to make his own chicken tikka and aloo gobi at home. (Brilliant gift, huh?) So we headed over to Casa Acoreana to load up on all the spices.
We grabbed some…More »
13. Graffiti Alley Tour
Toronto, ON M5T 2R7

Only 6 Yelpers RSVPed for the event so I was a little…More »

Category:
Japanese

Do you have a food soulmate? Someone with whom you share a deep affinity in all matters edible? And when you read each of her Yelp reviews, you blurt out, "Yes!" "So true!" "I love this girl!" even though you're at an Internet cafe and people are…More »
