1. Linda Penwarden Jewellery
Toronto, ON M4S 2M9
(416) 484-1843
Category:
Jewellery
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant and Davisville
Years ago, I considered myself lucky when my girlfriend told me that she didn't want an engagement ring and that a wedding ring would be enough. At first, I thought this odd, as I hadn't asked her to marry me.
My broad then showed me a picture of the…More »
2. Langdon Hall
Just confirmed what I already knew. Beautiful place. Great grounds for strolling around. Bed & Breakfast, fine dining restaurant, wine tastings, etc.
Rooms are huge with old school trimmings with working fireplaces.
The interior of the main house…More »

Wow. Decadence.
I've visited here a couple times (both times with the good luck of having gift… Read more »
3. The Little Inn of Bayfield
I've stayed here thrice now and love it.
Once this past June and a couple times at Christmas (kinda like a calm before the Storm of seeing in-laws and family). Beautifully decorated rooms with the most comfortable bed outside of my own home. The…More »
4. Le Mas Regalade
Stayed here for three nights in May and can't say enough about the place.
Surrounding gardens were beautiful. Room was modernized with A/C and a well-updated bathroom. Breakfast was included; minimal and perfectly sized with a different set of jams…More »
5. Restaurant Garde-Manger
I must be getting old, as by the time we showed for our 9:30 reservation, the place was so very dark and blaring some cheesy...but awesome...tunes. Where else would you have a candle-lit dinner with a little mix of Metallica and Run DMC?
We were shown…More »
6. Windsor Arms Hotel Tea Room
Toronto, ON M5S 3E7
(416) 971-9666
Category:
Tea Rooms
Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, Yorkville, Downtown Core
Every once in a while I'm dragged here for "Afternoon Tea". But once I arrive, I'm glad I came.
Little waiters ask each member of your group which tea they would like and off they scurry to get everyone's order. The little, tiny sammiches on…More »
7. Le Bouquet de Basilic

France

Category: French
I'm not sure how we found this little place, but it was one of my favourite meals in Gordes.
Seated on the patio, it was a lovely evening as the sun set...for those that are claustrophobic, the foliage is all-encompassing.
A great list of local wines…More »
8. Carens Wine & Cheese Bar
After a hard day of following women around shopping, we fell into this place by chance.
I have to say that we only participated in wine and cheese, but with the selection of cheeses and wines, it took the rest of the afternoon to try most of…More »
9. Ambiance Chocolat
Toronto, ON M4M 1H3
(416) 406-2462

Small but wonderful selection of chocolates. Plus, they carry my wife's favourite selections of tea. Score!
Friendly staff are willing to clean the display after I drooled on the glass.

Neighbourhood: SoHo
Visited here a month ago. I'm not a chocolate-fiend by any means, but the wife is. So we go.
I had the aztec hot chocolate made with milk and it was honestly like drinking chocolate. Awwwwesome. Wife had something equally chocolatey and we shared…More »

It rubs the lotion on it's skin... (10)Places where men can go to get their pretty on....creepy List Name, huh?! |
Skip these if given a choice. (10)Lets keep this one basic - a list of places that I would now have to bribed somewhat to even think about returning. No joke. |
Great, but (10)Here's a list of fantastic places that just aren't quite "there" yet. |
Good places to help you dress like a Man (8)Well, if I can't act like one, at least I can fool some of you by dressing like one. |
Mmmmeat (15)If it were socially acceptable (and healthy) to eat red meat at every meal, I would load up my bbq in a Radio Flyer and pull it everywhere I went.Instead, I am forced to search for establishments that either serve-up or will sell me glorious mounds of animal flesh. |
Fine Dining Establishments (8)Hey, because I'm pretentious like that!Places I've frequently visited (and in turn either sold my first born, or a kidney). |
The Best of Oakvegas (15)For those brave enough to venture forth into what was the Original Cottage-Country, Oakville has some of the best establishments around. |
French Places (20)I've always had a fetish for French eateries. Full-fledged restos, bistros or boites - it doesn't matter. I'm just getting around to as many as possible. But cut me some slack; I'm on the case and I'm going as fast as my lazy ass can.Maybe it's b/c I judge everyone / everything and generally think I'm better than everyone else. It's the frenchie in me! |
French Places, not in France, but in the GTA (16)I'm on a mission to get to as many Good French place in Ontario as possible before I need a bigger pant size. Here's the list so far. |
Everybody go Hotel, Motel, Holiday Inn (10)Places to stay while away. No, they don't do "hourly". |
