CN Tower is the symbol of Toronto and is North America's tallest free standing structure!
It now ranks as the 4th tallest such structure, but is probably the most well-recognized of the bunch.

3. Ding Tai Fung
Amazing! I returned in March to DTF and loved practically everything that my friend and I had ordered. The XLB's were the star of the show, and the Shenzehnbaos were excellent, as well.
I heard that this DTF is not officially connected to the real…More »

4. Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport
One of My Favourite Airports en Tout Le Monde!
Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) is tiny, so what would be so good about it? Location, location, location, plus a public executive lounge that's free for all! The gate is pretty much the lounge…More »
5. Burrito Bandidos
Burrito Bandidos is great! Thanks to these guys, there's no need to go South of the Border for good Tex Mex food.

9. Dumpling House Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5T 2E7
Canada
(416) 596-8898
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
I might be in the minority here, but I really liked the dumplings at Dumpling House. The boiled were good and the pan fried were even better. I like how they leave them connected with the fried batter. One drawback is that they cash only.
10. Scotiabank Theatre
Toronto, ON M5V 3M6
Canada
(416) 368-5600
Category:
Cinema
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
This movie theatre is great! I love their 3D screens and poutine.
I practically come here once a week to catch a flick (too many good movies to see), and like their movie selection a lot better than the AMC Yonge & Dundas 24 theatre, although the AMC…More »

Category:
Cinema
Neighbourhoods: Ryerson, Downtown Core
AMC 24 Yonge & Dundas is in a great location, for a movie theater, being right at Dundas Square.
However, tickets are pricey, and they don't feature the best film selection, but it is a nice theatre. A lot of the better films that are missing from…More »
13. Air Canada Centre
Air Canada Centre is a really nice mutli-purpose sports facility for both hockey and basketball.
I had the opportunity to check out both an NHL Maple Leafs game and an NBA Toronto Raptors game, back in March. The nosebleed seats are really far away…More »

16. BMO Field
BMO Field, home of MLS Toronto FC is a nice field.
It's not a particularly large field, but its seats bring you, the fan, very close to the pitch and gives you a front row feel to the soccer game being played. It's a huge improvement over facilities…More »

Toronto, ON M5S 1Y3
Canada
(416) 532-0334
Category:
Music & DVDs
Neighbourhood: The Annex
Sonic Boom is a great retro Used CD & DVD store.
I believe they sell vinyl too. It's great how they let you sample and preview CDs. It reminds me of once great record shops in NYC.
They do buy used media, although for not that great of a price. I…More »
18. Irish Embassy Pub & Grill
Toronto, ON M5E 1J1
Canada
(416) 866-8282
Nice Irish Gastropug in Downtown. Their Irish poutine is really good, it must be the mayo!
19. Pacific Mall
Huge Cantonese Mall in the suburbs of Toronto!
Whenever I go here I forget that I'm not in Hong Kong. It's definitely worth a trip if you have a car and like shopping for Chinese goods or enjoy Chinese food. There are lots of cell phone, gadget,…More »

So glad that Toronto has a Marche!
I was really bummed after the Marche Movenpick in Montreal had closed down. I was a huge fan of the place and have missed their Bouillabaise ever since. Marche gives you such a plentiful amount of seafood, and…More »

Toronto, ON M5T 3A3
Canada
(416) 340-0472
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Ematei is a great traditional izakaya.
The place is authentic Japanese with a nice variety of menu options (from sashimi to yakitori to household food items). It is my go-to Japanese spot when in town.

Categories:
Pubs,

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Allow me to revise. Queen And Beaver is now a 5 for me.
After 10pm, it becomes really hard to find places still serving food around my area of Gerrard and Yonge. And no, I'm not wasting a meal at Big Slice, especially when sober.
Luckily, The Queen…More »

I returned at Reggie's last night, and was sober this time with clarity of mind and tastebuds. So memory did serve me right. The poutine here is pretty good, both buzzed and sober!

25. Spice Route
Went back to Spice Route last night (the last time I was there was July 2009). I reiterate. This is not a place to dine at, it's a place to party. Don't confuse the two.

26. Brant House
Brant House is a fun lounge to party at.
My U of T friend took me here and he says you can sometimes spot Raptors players hanging here. If you come early enough, there's a happy hour deal you can take advantage of.
27. The Guvernment
I went to a party at Guvernment back in the day (2002?) and I remember the place is massive. I heard that Vince Carter used to come a lot when he was a Raptor.
28. Mother's Dumplings
Toronto, ON M5T 2A8
Canada
(416) 217-2008
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
Mother's Dumplings has tasty dumplings that decently priced. They have other food too. It's a popular young person hang out spot. I was surprised to see the non-Chinese wait staff. You don't really see that in places in Chinatown, actually in any…More »
29. Hoops Sports Bar & Grill
Toronto, ON M4Y 1W9
Canada
(416) 929-3324
Category:
Sports Bars
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Hoops is the best sports bar I have come across in T.O so far, in terms of the number of TV's available.
My friend and I were here to watch Game 6 of the 2011 NBA Finals (Dallas vs. Miami) and the place was packed. Since the bar is named "Hoops", it…More »

Les 3 Brasseurs (aka L3B, The 3 Brewers) is a fun French gastropub that is steps away from Dundas Square.

31. Jack Astors
Toronto, ON M5B 2G9
Canada
(416) 263-9800
Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhoods: Ryerson, Downtown Core
Jack Astors has a lot of TV's and good food.
It's a good venue for catching a sports game, although it can get crowded. Jack Astors is a chain. I have been to their other one on John St, which isn't as crowded and has a different set up.
32. Lee Garden Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5T 2E9
Canada
(416) 593-9524
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
From the outside, Lee Garden is an unassuming restaurant. When you enter and see their offerings and menu, you realize it's a bit more fancy than a typical Chinatown place. They've been around since 1978. I'm not sure if that's a big deal since…More »
