Categories:

Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
I came here around afternoon to pick up three Square Pegs to go.
I can't say much, since it's all already been said. Refer to other Yelpers. They do not lie and the rumours are true.
Also came for dinner, with a few friends, for my birthday.

Came here for dinner. It was cute cute cute.
The "to share" menu is a lie. The portions are tiny.… Read more »
2. Guu SakaBar
Again, another hit for guu. (Hit out of the park?)
I am in love with the room to the right, where you go shoeless and sit on straw mats, while the tables are close to the floor. I know, I know, it's basically like a normal table and chair, but the…More »
3. Etsu Japanese Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5T 1L1
(416) 599-4200
Oooh yay! I'm a big fan!
Everything about this place screams cute! The cozy dining room, the outside area, the art on the walls, the ceramic paper crane chopstick holders, the waitress in a kimono, the glass furniture...
There are so many perfect…More »
4. Tea Shop 168
Dear lord, people invent the most horribly mouth-watering foods in an effort to get you fat. (and then they look at you weird when you eat the whole thing by yourself. back off. i like my calories.)
Specifically...funnel cakes, crepes, and waffles,…More »

Neighbourhood: Wychwood
It hurts my heart to give Stockyards such a low rating.
I would give it five stars, I honestly would.
I LOVE fried chicken with all my heart, and I had heard amazing things about the chicken here.
They didn't disappoint--the chicken was warm, crispy on…More »
6. Against the Grain
The CMYE was here, and I liked the house cocktails, friendly waiters, patio, and yummy nibbles. But I decided to come back for a dinner to see what the real deal is.
Real deal is pretty sweet. I called the night before to book a reservation, but they…More »
7. Menchie's Frozen Yogurt
When a friend visited me in California, I took her to Yogurtland (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) and she loved it.
And then she found Menchie's when she came home. so she took me this time! Kind of like a switcheroo! California vs Canada?
I have to admit,…More »
8. Toronto Island
One of my favourite day trip spots (: rent a bike and relax with the beaches, greenery, and scenery! Oh and bring a picnic if you are really into the idealistic romantic shebang.
Just saying, there's a clothing optional beach. Visit for your own…More »

One of my all-time favourites. I have pretty much had every single one of their "small bites" (tapa size or appetizer size foods) and I can honestly say every single one is amazing. They have a 3 for $25 which makes me very happy as well. I usually…More »

There isn't much to say about this place that hasn't been said already.

I've walked by La Note many times in the morning when there is a group of people waiting outside and wondered "is it really that good?"...well, it's really that good.
I got up at 8AM to beat the lines (yeah I'm a loser I know) and try it out myself. I…More »

groove continues to amaze. every time I go, I find myself letting out longer, more satisfying breaths, and really calming down. even if I'm working hard and sweating, the teachers and atmosphere never fail to keep me calm and happy.

Thought I'd update a bit since I went back last night.
1) wait times are usually upwards of one hour in my experience. There is a starbucks at yonge and college (5min walk?) where I like to stay while I wait.
2) If your group is three people or more,…More »

I rarely give five star reviews but I think Moksha Uptown earned it!

I love the umbra concept store a lot for the leisurely time-killing stroll. I;ve loved umbra designs forever so I almost died when I set foot in the concept store a few years ago.

19. Indian Rock Park
Berkeley, CA 94707
USA
I've been here once and I'm itching to come again.
A friend I wasn't too close with brought me here to show me how to rock climb--"bouldering", he calls it. At first, I was afraid. I was PETRIFIED. But I survived!
For a naturally occurring rock (how…More »

It was freezing cold outside. well, as cold as bay area can get.
Not really ice cream weather, and I'm not a huge fan of chocolate.
That said, as I neared Chocolatier Blue, I could smell their cookies half a block away. As i approached, my…More »

Sweet tooth, prepare to meet your match.
These macaroons melt in your mouth. Heaven!
There are TONS of flavours. They are all eyeroll-inducing.
Plus I have a slight obsession with all things French...which includes this place.
There are cute tables where…More »

Neighbourhoods: Little Portugal, Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
WARNING: the menu is overwhelming.
CONSOLATION: it's worth it.
The portions may be small, but they are rich and filling. I ate here with a friend for about $20 each. We were stuffed, and chuffed too! We felt like such sophisticated foodies.
Some of the…More »
23. Healesville Sanctuary
so maybe I added one star because I'm a tourist.
who cares! australians have awesome animals! I want a koala!
what I loved about healesville was that the animals are not completely caged off. mostly they're left to wander around as they please, with…More »
24. Lola Rosa Cafe
while eating here, I totally forgot I was at a vegetarian restaurant!
The nachos are pretty popular. I might hazard a guess that around 80% of the tables at the nachos--either full portion (MOUNTAIN STATUS) or the half portion: manageable.
