125 Ossington Ave
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z2
Canada
(416) 531-1601

Category: Vietnamese

Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village

5.0 star rating
  3/11/2009

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 »

Toronto, ON M5T 1P1
Canada
(416) 927-1231

Categories: Vegan, Sandwiches

Neighbourhood: Kensington Market

4.0 star rating
  2/16/2009

Incredibly tasty soups and sandwiches that are so massive in size you'll be able to re-enjoy the leftovers for several meals afterwards. I like to order the grilled and marinated tofu sandwich and save half of it for the next day's lunch!

Categories: Tex-Mex, Dive Bars

Neighbourhood: Kensington Market

5.0 star rating
  Update - 7/1/2009

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 »

Toronto, ON M5S 2M7
Canada
(416) 929-3253

Categories: Dive Bars, Thai

4.0 star rating
  3/23/2009

As other reviewers have said, this is a student hotspot (it's right in The Annex) and it's clearly very popular because it's always teeming with people!! Yes, the cleanliness of the place sometimes leaves a bit to be desired and the service can be…More »

 5. The Red Room

444 Spadina Ave
Toronto, ON M5T 2G8
Canada
(416) 929-9964

Categories: Indian, Asian Fusion, Pubs

Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core

3.0 star rating
  Update - 7/18/2009

The sangria at Red Room was cheap ($16.50/pitcher) but that's probably owing to the fact that it's inconsistently mixed and has hardly any alcohol in it. My group was scattered amongst four different tables and everyone's sangria looked different.…More »

5.0 star rating
  Update - 8/21/2009

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 »

    Hi Utopia,

 7. Naz's Falafel House

118 John St
Toronto, ON M5V 2E3
Canada
(416) 593-7386

Category: Middle Eastern

Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core

4.0 star rating
  6/15/2009

I'm pretty much the opposite of a falafel connoisseur and my experience with Middle Eastern food is limited to my frequent visits to Naz's - they seem to know what's what. If you want a cheap and quick lunch option then this is a good, no nonsense…More »

 8. M & B Yummy

1263 Queen St W
Toronto, ON M6K 1L5
Canada
(416) 516-2798

Categories: Vegetarian, Ethiopian

Neighbourhood: Parkdale

4.0 star rating
  11/18/2009

As far as I can tell, M&B Yummy is the only 100% vegetarian Ethiopian restaurant in all of Toronto. It's way out west in Parkdale, far away from "Little Ethiopia" and if you make the trek you can get stuffed silly for $10 or less.

NOTE: All mentions…More »

4.0 star rating
  11/18/2009

Who knew there was a neighbourhood in Toronto called "Little Ethiopia"? Not this girl. Well, if you head over to Danforth/Greenwood you'll come across it - a smattering of Ethiopian restaurants that will give Nazareth, Ethiopia House and M&B Yummy a…More »

113 Jarvis St
Toronto, ON M5C 2H4
Canada
(416) 941-1474

Categories: Sandwiches, Middle Eastern

Neighbourhoods: Corktown, Downtown Core

5.0 star rating
  2/18/2010

Probably the quirkiest and most unique lunch spot in Toronto, from the perplexing exterior signage ("world's best apple cake: must be legal eating age and never convicted for a slice"**) to the zany witticisms inscribed on the walls for your…More »

 11. Danforth Pizza House

920 Danforth Ave
Toronto, ON M4J 1L9

Category: Pizza

Neighbourhood: The Danforth

5.0 star rating
  5/19/2010

The pizza upskirt on the slices here is otherworldly. Like, holy hotness. Don't know what a pizza upskirt is?? Apparently it's a phenomenon, as documented here: http://www.flickr.com/...

Even if you know the address you'll walk straight past it, I…More »
