1. Guu SakaBar
Okay wow, I totally should've figured Ken S. had already started a review page. So this is my repost from the one I created.
I don't think I've ever been as excited about a venue as that of last night's Guu Tweetup hosted by Ken S. I was lucky…More »

I am going gaga-guu-guu for Guu! I had tried the original Guu Izakaya last week, and decided to try… Read more »
2. Anh Dao Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5T 2G6
(416) 598-4514
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Downtown Core
***1/2 stars
Was looking for a place to eat prior to the Yelp Elite Pimp Your Profile Pic at Lomography. We arrived around 5:30PM to a relatively empty restaurant. It really is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant with attempts of decor such as the paneled…More »
3. Table 17
Toronto, ON M4M 1H4
(416) 519-1851
Categories:
French,
Modern European
Neighbourhood: Riverdale
I so wanted to love Table 17, but alas, it was just a silly high school crush. When all the illusions are cast aside - you're left heartbroken.
I arrived 15 minutes late for my 6:45PM reservation (but I called in advance to give them the heads up).…More »
4. Toca
Toronto, ON M5J 2H5
(416) 572-8008
Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
Doctor Dopey took me to Toca by Tom Brodi at the Ritz-Carlton for my birthday. The menu looked so intriguing - how could I resist?
We arrive around 5:45PM to a relatively empty restaurant - it was still early and they had just opened at 5:30PM. We…More »
5. Dragon Dynasty Chinese Cuisine
Was originally going to go to the Pearl of Asia Restaurant at the Oriental Shopping Mall only to find out that it is currently closed for renovation. So, seeing as Dragon Dynasty was just up the street - we drove on up.
I have only had a rather…More »

Dined at Dragon Dynasty tonight. I had previously had dim sum here with family, but never dinner.

6. Fancy Chinese Cuisine
I have heard many aunties and uncles ranting and raving about how good the food is at Fancy Chinese Cuisine, and how hard it is to book a reservation. It is alleged that without a reservation you shouldn't even think about stepping foot in this…More »
7. Globe Bistro
Toronto, ON M4K 1N1
(416) 466-2000
Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: The Danforth, Riverdale
**1/2 stars
Tasked with finding a patio that was smoker-friendly, I stumbled upon Globe Bistro, the sister restaurant to Earth (Rosedale). I had had a stellar dining experience at Earth; I had high hopes for Globe.
We arrived promptly for our 6:30PM…More »
8. Pizzeria Libretto
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z8
(416) 532-8000
The word libretto refers to a notebook. I wonder if Italians have the same strange ways of picking names that do not translate well into English like Chinese Restaurants? Usually the Chinese name and the English name don't even mean the same thing!…More »
9. Nadège Patisserie
Toronto, ON M6J 1G2
(416) 368-2009
I finally made it out to Nadege. Although it felt like I had to walk through the Bronx to arrive here (as walking along various intersections of Queen Street West can be nerve-wracking with all the "ecclectic" people that hang out on its curbs)... I…More »
10. Copacabana Brazilian Steak House
Toronto, ON M4P
(416) 916-2099
Categories:
Brazilian,
Steakhouses
Neighbourhoods: Mount Pleasant and Davisville, Yonge and Eglinton
My second time at Copacabana. We arrived at around 6:45pm. Unfortunately reservations are not available for parties of 6 or less. We were told it would be about a 1 hour wait. The hostess took down our name and phone number. We headed to a Second…More »
11. Au pied de cochon
Martin Picard is one of my favourite Food Network chefs. So of course I had to come to his prized gem. I also came on Tony F.'s behalf. So Tony, this one's for you!
I had called and made a reservation the week prior, but upon arrival they seem to…More »
12. Dragon Boat Fusion Cuisine
I don't really understand how the "fusion" part applies to this restaurant as most of the items I read on the menu were typical Cantonese-style cuisine. Unless you're counting the sugared cashews or wakame salad that they serve at the beginning of…More »
13. La Palette
Toronto, ON M5V 2B3
(416) 929-4900
Category:
French
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Queen Street West
La Palette is not as it used to be. My sister snd I decided to treat our relatives in HK out for dinner - French food - not something different.
Although I enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant with the open kitchen taking centre stage, I can't help…More »
14. Balzac's Coffee Roastery
Toronto, ON M5A 3C4
(416) 207-1709
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhoods: Distillery District, West Don Lands
Balzac's is located in the Distillery District. The decor is rustic, with high ceilings, and wooded furniture. The coffee counter is abundant in biscottis, cookies, cakes, croissants and other pastries.
Green P parking is probably the most…More »
15. Ultra Supper Club
Toronto, ON M5V 2A2

Categories:
Lounges,
Dance Clubs
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
William T. brought me here for my birthday dinner as a surprise as he had remembered I wanted to check this place out! So thoughtful :)
We arrived fashionably on time, but let the restaurant know ahead of time that we were going to be arriving on…More »
16. Agave Y Aguacate
Toronto, ON M5T
(647) 208-3091
Categories:
Ethnic Food,
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
Decided to come to Agave y Aguacate as we were downtown and I have always wanted to try it out based on the Yelp buzz it had gotten in recent months. I tried the Tinga Tostada ($6.75) which was made with beans, tomato, avocado and chicken. I guess…More »
17. Fishermen Club House Restaurant
I really don't understand why this place gets such high ratings other than the fact that other than Red Lobster there is no competition within the Scarborough/Markham borders.
We were a party of 11 and ordered the set menu for 10. Unfortunately they…More »
18. Spice Route
Ah Spice Route... After having read many mixed reviews I thought I would give it a try and judge for myself. The verdict - yet another pretentious "fine dining" Chinese restaurant that has been sent to the dog house along with Lai Toh Heen. They…More »
19. DT Bistro-Patisserie
After having had a marvelous dinner at Campagnolo, we decided to go elsewhere for dessert since their dessert menu was rather scant and nothing was calling out to me.
Dessert Trends aka DT Bistro-Patisserie, had been on my to-try list for awhile. It…More »
20. Rua Vang Golden Turtle
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z2
(416) 531-1601
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
Rua Vang aka Golden Turtle is located on the Ossington Strip, with its infamous story of how chef Susur Lee has frequented their establishment.
There is an outdoor patio which is nice, but the decor is quite simple and un-fancy. It is setup like…More »
21. Kom Jug Yuen Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5T 2G3
(416) 977-4079
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Downtown Core
Either I have unique taste buds or I walked into another restaurant that was NOT Kom Jug Yuen.
I came here after my disappointment in finding that Anh Dao, the Vietnamese restaurant was closed.
It is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant for dining on the…More »
22. Lai Toh Heen - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M4S 2N3
(416) 489-8922
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Mount Pleasant and Davisville, Yonge and Eglinton
I would rather take $100 and throw it in the garbage than eat here again. Service is great, but for me, food is the important part of going to any restaurant. On top of that, they charge $2.50 per head for tea. I would expect that a high class…More »
23. Nota Bene
Toronto, ON M5V 3X3
(416) 977-6400
Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
*3-1/2 stars*
It amazes me how the same restaurant can yield 2 different experiences. My first experience at Nota Bene was a little disappointing. Although they used high quality ingredients, I didn't think the food was anything special. But cue…More »
