Hands down BEST place for fresh berries. When my parents and I decide to stay over at our Beach residence, my mom and I always walk to Carload for fruits, specifically their raspberries and blueberries. If you are looking for sweet blueberries and…More »

OK! Before I begin my review, I need to apologize for being away on Yelp this past month due to a new position at work. Obviously, my learning curve was steeper than I had anticipated...but now that my brain has absorbed all it can, I can now go back…More »

3.0 star rating

So with all the hype of the Burger's Priest, my bf and I decided to try it out as we were in the neighbourhood. Expectations were high and we both were salivating just thinking about burgers. I had heard the place was busy and that long lines were a…More »

My bf and I tried to go to this restaurant on many occasions and were never fortunate to actually sit. The first time was on a Friday night and needless to say, it was busy. Average waiting time is an hour and even then, there are no guarantees. I…More »

I really liked this restaurant. I remember some years back, I had this lovely vegetable quinoi dish with butternut squash and I would have it every time. I have not been back for a very long time, and went just last Friday and I was delighted to find…More »

  Update - 5/26/2011

Okay so this was, after all, a HUGE misunderstanding. I am glad to say that this was NOT Fare Bistro's fault at all. The concierge from my credit card company was entirely at fault. So they followed up with the restaurant on Tuesday because that's…More »

    This will be a short and unfortunate review.

(416) 691-1284

Neighbourhood: Upper Beach

3.0 star rating
  10/22/2011 First to Review

It's shared with the Swiss Chalet and I think that's great...depending on what you feel like. Because the Swiss Chalet side had no chicken and the average waiting time was 30 minutes, I opted to get the Harvey's Grilled Chicken Burger. Stingy with…More »

Neighbourhood: The Beach

3.0 star rating
  10/30/2011

I love how this store carries lots of British products, from Cadbury chocolates to Cream of Tomato soup from Marks and Spencers. Coming to this store is almost like stepping onto the set of Willy Wonka's Chocolate factory with knickknack treats,…More »

I have never noticed this restaurant and only by fluke in taking the wrong street did my parents and I discover there was a restaurant here! We immediately noticed the great large patio on the roof of the restaurant and vowed to return. Fall is now…More »

This is my chance to lose some weight and start yelping everything and anything un-food related! Happy Reading:)

Where to Stay (Hotel Picks and Miss) (7)

Serious reviews of hotels - some great and others not so.

Be sure to check out the info and links included within each review on the hotels' rewards program.

Best spots to eat when you're in my area (aka, enough about downtown!) Let's shower some love in the North York/York Mills area!

Palm Beach Bests (10)

Palm Beach is my second home and is where I always spend my Christmas and New Year. So, I have created this list for those who want to come and visit this charming and beautiful, slow paced city in Florida. Here are some of the BEST restaurants and venues of Palm Beach, Jupiter, Boca, and Worth Avenue district. Enjoy!

30 Day Yelp Challenge - October 2011 (30)

What a wonderful idea! As the season changes and the weather gets colder, this challenge will ensure that I get out, try new places, meet old friends and really discover the city. A big NO to staying indoors and moping about! My aim for this list is to include a hodge-podge of reviews, from restaurants, to hotels, to knick-knack places! Let the challenge begin!
