Canada
(416) 534-7751
Categories:
Tex-Mex,
Burgers,
Vegetarian
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Palmerston, Bickford Park
Utopia and I have gone straight from second base to home plate - yesterday they kicked things up several notches with the ultimate: GOURMET POUTINE.
Seriously - the most solid poutine (meat or otherwise) I've ever had. Mushrooms (how they managed to…More »

2. Rua Vang Golden Turtle
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z2
Canada
(416) 531-1601
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
I have to preface my review by saying I've never actually had regular (meat) pho, so my first pho experience was a vegetarian one, so I don't have anything to compare it to - I'm sure some purists may argue that this doesn't even approach a 'true pho…More »
3. Epicure Cafe & Grill
Toronto, ON M5V 2B3
Canada
(416) 504-8942
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Italian
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Queen Street West
When I walked into Epicure Cafe today it was like bizarroland - like when you come home from vacation and sense that everything isn't in its right place. You know you're at home, but someone's moved something, rearranged the furniture, or otherwise…More »
4. Sneaky Dee's
Toronto, ON M5T 1T1
Canada
(416) 603-3090
Oh Sneak's, my trusty and reliable old pal!
Every mischief-making night out should conclude with a default visit to Sneaky Dee's, and it usually does. There really isn't anything not to love about this place.
The server turnover is low - you'll always…More »

5. Banjara Indian Cuisine
Toronto, ON M6G 1L7
Canada
(416) 963-9360
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhoods: Christie Pits, Bickford Park
I could eat untold amounts of Paneer Makhani. Like, we're talking ruinous quantities.
Luckily, said Paneer Makhani can be yours in as little as 20 minutes. Yep, that's how long it took from the minute I called Banjara for delivery to the moment my…More »

6. Salad King Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5B 1R8
Canada
(416) 593-0333
Category:
Thai
Neighbourhoods: Ryerson, Downtown Core
In the past year I haven't had a five star experience at Salad King so I have to revoke my previous rating. This past Saturday the rice was unspeakably bad. How can a Thai restaurant not know how to steam a pot of rice?? I can't look past that,…More »

7. Gandhi Cuisine
Toronto, ON M5V 2B5
Canada
(416) 504-8155
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Queen Street West
*sigh*
I just never go to Gandhi anymore now that I know about its hotter younger sister, Mother India. Even though I've moved to Queen East, I stay on the streetcar well past Bathurst for an extra 10 minutes and go to Mother India instead (same…More »

All TGTBT* things must come to an end. It's true, Gandhi has raised its prices, and the difference… Read more »
8. Little India Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5V 1Z4
Canada
(416) 205-9836
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
I've been trying to duplicate Little India's Chana Masala for close to five years now. No other chana masala comes close to it. I wish they'd disclose their recipe, if only so I could enjoy it more often.
The servers are incredibly friendly and…More »
9. Bacchus Roti Shop
I know some people will strongly consider harpooning me knowing that all these years I've been chiming on about the best roti in town and espousing the perfection that is Gandhi's without ever having tried Bacchus Roti, but alas.
I have now tried…More »
10. Disgraceland
Toronto, ON M6H 1L7
Canada
(647) 347-5263
Categories:
Pubs,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Dovercourt
GOURMET GRILLED CHEESE ALERT!
Yep, it's true. The grilled cheese sandwich at Disgraceland qualifies as a gourmet and is currently the top contender in my quest for Toronto's ultimate grilled cheese sandwich - even though it had three types of cheese…More »

11. Gio Rana's Really Really Nice Restaurant
Toronto, ON M4M 1L7
Canada
(416) 469-5225
Categories:
Italian,
Tapas/Small Plates
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
Still my favourite, and consistently wonderful. All of the servers look happy to be working there. Try to get Josh, the dude that looks like a cuter David Arquette, as your server. He's the best of the best.
Lovely ambiance, terrific food, great…More »

12. Terroni
Toronto, ON M6J 1E8
Canada
(416) 504-0320
Category:
Italian
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
Yes it's true - they don't take reservations and won't allow ANY substitutions on the menu, but Terroni has to be doing something right because they regularly have a lineup out the door, the kitchen and bar are always bustling with activity, all of…More »
13. Brar Sweets & Restaurant
Etobicoke, ON M9V 2X5
Canada
(416) 745-4449
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhood: Etobicoke
Brar is a great place to go if you're with a large group of friends who all want to gorge themselves on obscene amounts of Indian buffet. It's completely vegetarian and there are literally hundreds of food choices to make. Watch out for the breaded…More »
14. Mission Burrito
Toronto, ON M5T 3K5
Canada
(416) 598-4300
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Great new burrito place in the OCAD/AGO neighbourhood. It's located in the food court on McCaul just south of Dundas and offers both meaty and veg options. The fillings choices are great (I had black bean and sweet potato) and I'm really happy that…More »
15. Pizza Rustica
Toronto, ON M5V 3P5
Canada
(416) 260-0200
Along with Terroni and Pizza Libretto, Pizza Rustico completes my triad of "favourite pizza places" in Toronto. I have always had great service and an enjoyable time there. They have a decent selection of pizza topping combinations as well as many…More »

Toronto, ON M4E 1H9
Canada
(416) 686-5688
Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhood: The Beach
I have never been more east than this, other than when driving on the 401 to get the fuck out of the city for a weekend. This is about as far as you can go along Queen Street East before Scarborough.
My meal was absolutely five stars. If you can…More »
17. Sky Blue Sky Sandwiches
Toronto, ON M6G 1K5
Canada
(647) 351-7945
Category:
Sandwiches
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Palmerston, Seaton Village
Brace yourselves, hipsters: contrary to the recent press explosion, this place didn't actually just open. It's been around since October 2009.
Yep, all the sandwiches are named after Wilco songs and there are Wilco posters on the wall. But this isn't…More »
18. Khmer Thai Restaurant
I arrived late at 8:59pm, precisely 1 minute before closing, hungrier than Christian Bale on the set of The Machinist (http://en.wikipedia.or...) and in no mood to make decisions. Several people in my group (who were at the dessert phase when I…More »

Toronto, ON M6G 1A4
Canada
(416) 413-0005
Categories:

Italian
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Palmerston
You know, I never thought I'd fall in love with another man named Neil, but here we are. Negroni Neil (server) is terrific and when I visit and see that he's working, I'm downright thrilled. He's attentive, courteous and instantly likable, and the…More »

Category:
Steakhouses
Neighbourhoods: Financial District, Downtown Core
I had a great vegan meal here.
I was here one March 14th celebrating a special holiday (look it up) some years ago and dreaded the dining experience, but our server made it dead simple. She was incredibly professional and knowledgeable and definitely…More »
