After a more than 6-month hiatus, Vannis is open once more. I dropped in for the breakfast last week, and I had to update my Wychwood breakfast list.

This little hole-in-the-wall is another neighbourhood institution. You regularly see fire trucks or police cars pulled up, and a line of burly guys coming out with bags of chicken.
I'm a Churrasco of St. Clair heretic, which is to say that I prefer…More »

Tasty, inexpensive, and out-of-the-ordinary, Mezzetta is a neighbourhood institution. The food ranges from lucious to tasty, the prices are great, the service is always good, and you can satisfy vegetarians, meat-eaters, and people on weird diets…More »
Vanipha Lanna is the best Thai I've had in the area - tasty, with good ingredients. It's big and airy, with mildly wacky decor (orchid fountain, anyone?). I wish they would open the area with the Japanese-style low tables for customers. Remember,…More »
What they said. This is a lovely addition to the neighbourhood, and has even seduced me away from Cocoalatte.
They both have lovely decor and friendly staff, but I've got to give Noir the edge in comfort; they have interesting but still comfortable…More »
Savera keeps changing and growing! The dishware is prettier than on my last visit, and they've sprouted a liquor license - a couple of wines and some lagers are now on offer.
It's looking like the menu is going to be solid - the paneer is still…More »
St. Clair has been hurting for Indian food for a while, so I was quick to head over to Savera when… Read more »

It doesn't look like much from the street, but come in and you'll encounter a beautiful weathered-wood interior and a heavenly smell. Not really for the vegetarian on your list, this upscale barbecue joint is a welcome addition to the neighbourhood.…More »
Too bad, so sad - why are they suddenly so stingy with the hot fudge? They've changed, man. It used to be about the sauce. Am I standing in line for half an hour for that pitiful drizzle on top?
There seem to be changes afoot. Not only are the…More »

The Search for Breakfast in Wychwood (6)Since the closing of our two favourite places for breakfast (the lamented Queen's Dairy and D-Ganz, which also did a great steak), my husband and I have wandered from Bathurst past Oakwood looking for a cheap, satisfying, cozy place to get our scrambled/brown/sausage/t ea on. Recommendations gratefully received!I think we now have a clear winner in the $10+/per diner category. |
Thai Thai Thai Love Love Love (13)How did Canadians live before Thai food? I know there was a dark age in the early eighties, before Satay on the Road opened, when one could hardly find a rice noodle in this town.Now, we're up to our necks in it - and lovely as it is to have so many options, if you're going to promise me Thai, you'd better make it flavourful. From worst to best, here is my celebration of this delicious supra-equatorial cuisine. |

Wedding Dress Day on the Danforth (4)On a rainy May morning, my Bride-to-Be friend and I set out for a last-ditch dress excursion for her September wedding. We kept to the Danforth: multiple dress store options and great restaurants for lunch. The last review refers to an earlier day. |
Book Shopping! (9)Toronto is a great place to overload your bookcases. From the classy to the seedy, these are my favourite stops: |
