1. Café Santropol
You would be a mad mad mad half insane half crazy fool of a boob to not eat here if you like sandwiches. Hell, even if you don't like sandwiches you should be eating here because the food is that good.
The vibe is below low key and you might…More »
2. Crows Nest
Toronto, ON M5T 2J7
(647) 346-4333
Category:
Barbers
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
Every once in a while I find a place that I just don't want to tell anyone else about. It's selfish but you can't go giving it all away for free now can you? Crows Nest Barbershop is that kind place.
Tucked away in the basement of a clothing shop on…More »
3. Faith & Glory Collective
The Faith & Glory Collective are a small group of tattoo artists that banded together to form their own shop after years and years of working for larger, well known companies. The idea, as it was explained to me is simple, "Do what you love."
The shop…More »
4. Hawker Bar
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z7
(647) 343-4698
Categories:
Bars,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
Hawker Bar brings tasty and healthy fusion cuisine to an area rife with "sameness". Relatively brand new to the Ossington strip, Hawker Bar is about the size of my kitchen so it's no wonder that I would be drawn to it. The staff are friendly,…More »
5. Le Gallery
Toronto, ON M6J 1X3
(416) 532-8467
Category:
Art Galleries
Neighbourhoods: Little Portugal, Beaconsfield Village
Wil Kucey started this gallery as a project during his time at OCAD in 2003. The amount of work he and his friends poured into this place during that time was insane and it paid off.
Over the years Le has showcased works from Dalek, Nicholas Di…More »
6. Les Trois Petits Bouchons
Ah-maze-ing!
Taking advice from the lovely people of Yelp Montreal, we ended up at Les Trois Petits Bouchons last Friday night. It was cold and dark and threatening some sort of storm outside so the warm cozy interior of this place was very welcome.
We…More »
7. Miracle Thieves
Toronto, ON M6J 2V7
Category:
Community Service/Non-Profit
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Trinity Bellwoods
Not only is this an adorable little shop but it has a fantastic desire to foster community and nurture new artists. Why don't more people do things like this?
The shop sells arts & crafts as well as clothing from artists in and around the community…More »
8. Nomad Clothing
Toronto, ON M5V 1X9
(416) 682-1107
Categories:
Men's Clothing,
Accessories
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Few places have driven home my theory that small specialized places are the only ones worth shopping in like Nomad has. True, you will probably be bilked for your hard earned monies but more often than not they're worth it.
Lifestyle brands like Rag &…More »
9. Public Transit Recordings
Toronto, ON M4K 1N2
(416) 410-3475
Category:
Radio Stations
Neighbourhood: Riverdale
Public Transit Recordings has been around since 1998 and their mandate is "to push the boundaries of future jazz, techno, broken beat, downtempo or hip hop". In short, they do a little bit of everything in the world of electronic music.
When they…More »
10. Réservoir
Montreal, QC H2W 1G7
(514) 849-7779
Categories:
Pubs,
Breakfast & Brunch,
Tapas/Small Plates
If this restaurant were in Toronto I would have taken a star off for the laid back and easy going service. We are tense people that like to have food shoveled into our faces quickly so we can get back to feeling important and busy. So I say thank…More »
11. Smokeless Joe - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M5V 2E2
(416) 728-4503
For some reason $31-$60 a person doesn't sound right but I guess the drinks here can add up fast. Some of the taps will run you around $6-$8 dollars a pint but they're microbrews and there's always a hefty price tag when you're buying anything…More »
12. Snack Dragon Taco Shack
Does this place need another review? No. So instead I'm just going to profess my love.
If you haven't realized that you should be eating here more often simply based on the number of stellar ratings then you either have something wrong with you or…More »
13. Stella
Toronto, ON M6H 1N7
Category:
Bars
Neighbourhoods: Brockton Village, Bloordale Village, Wallace Emerson
This place is amazing. Shame on you and your three or less star reviews. Vince is fantastic and this place would easily become my local if it wasn't in the ass end of nowhere.
I haven't had the chance to try the food but that was because I made the…More »
14. The Future Of Frances Watson
Toronto, ON M6K 1L7
(416) 531-8882
Categories:
Women's Clothing,
Men's Clothing
Neighbourhood: Parkdale
Just wow. That's all I really need to say but you'd probably like to hear more. The Future of Frances Watson belongs on my small list of places I don't like telling people about because I don't want you shopping here. It's not most people's cup of…More »

It's 5pm, I'm starving and tired.
Simon - What are you doing tonight?
Eric - Damned if I know. You?
Simon - Come out with my friends and I.
Eric - Done.

16. Tutti Matti Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5V 1R7
(416) 597-8839
Category:
Italian
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
Tutti Matti is a hidden gem. This is a small traditional Tuscan style restaurant. The food is fresh, seasonal and beautifully presented.
This is a busy spot at lunch and not the kind of place to go if you don't have time to relax and enjoy your meal.…More »
