1. Koerner Hall
Toronto, ON M5S 1W2
(416) 408-0208
Category:
Music Venues
Neighbourhoods: University of Toronto, Downtown Core
I've spent a bit of time trying to decide who should get my 100th review, and it has to be this hidden gem of a venue, Koerner Hall.
"Koerner Hall is an 1,135 seat venue designed in the tradition of the classic "shoebox" venues of Europe. With its…More »
2. Stout Irish Pub
It's not just a little teapot, nor short. So glad to have found this place and shared with my fellow yelpers. Situated in the heart of Cabbagetown, it's much more of a local pub than an event bar. Low key, not overly loud, but buzzing on a Friday…More »
3. Danish Pastry Shop
Holy Jabezus Mother of Murphy this place is good. A coworker regularly brings in a box-o-treats and I'm a sucker for pastries. But these box-o-crazy-goodness is some of the best I've ever had. The custard is as good as general custer's last stand…More »
4. The Raq
Toronto, ON M6J 1G1
(416) 504-9120
Categories:
Pool Halls,
Bars
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West
Way back in the day, this was on my circuit for a hang-out joint. The foods pretty decent, the pool tables are alright, music on the weekend, a great deck overlooking Queen west, and super flirty waitresses who knew the right things to say to me and…More »
5. Beach Fairway Golf Range
It's one of two Golf Driving ranges in Toronto, and is a bit more affordable and has a bit better set up than Polson Pier (the only other range).
Even though this place is packed every afternoon and weekend whenever the sun is out, the city is looking…More »
6. PORT Restaurant
This is one of the better hidden gems in the GTA. I'd classify Port as a Joey Don Mills, Moxies & Milestonesque fusionesquey "premium casual" dinning experience. But it's got one thing none of these other restaurants have: a harbour view!
Why…More »
7. Sukho Thai
After hearing about this place for a while now, I finally got the opportunity to pay this place a visit. As you can see it's highly touted by yelpers and "the elites" alike, but when a good foodie friend (a writer, who'd be a great contributor to…More »
8. Menchie's Frozen Yogurt
Damn it.. why did they have to open one so close to my work?? I actually prefer good frozen yogurt over ice cream now, and Menchie's is pretty darn good.
My standard mix is the Cake Batter and Cookie'n Cream. Unfortunately they rotate their…More »
9. Xococava
Toronto, ON M4T 2S9
(416) 979-9916
Category:
Desserts
Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park
Let me reveal to you how I score some big brownie points with "da ladies" (pronounced as suavely as you think it's pronouced)... I hit up Xococava.
I personally am a huge fan of their in season fruit based home made icecreams. It's usually some…More »
10. Le Cafe Michi
Toronto, ON M1T 1H6
(416) 490-9688
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
Café Michi is in a bit of a hood
But the food is really quite good
Michi is so small, so fun, so peachy.
It fills a spot that's a bit nich-ey.
Though the sushi is a bit pricier than it should.
I would recommend ordering from the set menu
Getting a slice of…More »
11. Stoney's Bread Company
Came back here with Vivek, Mel C. and other friends and shared 4 pizzas and 2 bowls of mussels... it's still soooooo yummy! Like I don't mean just mmmm omnomnom yummy. I mean "C is for Cookie" OMNOMNOMNOMNOM NOM NOm Nom yummy!

12. Polson Pier Driving Range
Cons: Probably the most expensive public driving range in Toronto that's not indoors, especially on the weekends. However you can reduce that by buying 2 tokens for $20 for an average sized bucket. Because its automated, you can also use these on…More »
13. Off The Hook
Toronto, ON M4K

Categories:
Gluten-Free,
Fish & Chips
Neighbourhood: Riverdale
Off the hook, is completely off the chain!
Went with some coworker's here for lunch and we were all wowed. I mean it's just fish and chips right? The main reason we came here was because my colleague has a gluten allergy, and it's tough finding…More »

(416) 441-2345
Categories:
Venues & Event Spaces,

Lovely facility that hosts the annual Spring Festival. It's a modern space inside that is kept up meticulously. Kobayashi hall inside is fairly large with a stage. It was two Judo/Martial arts rooms. A very tiny library and a bunch of meeting…More »

Categories:
Greek,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhoods: Greektown, Riverdale
We were here to celebrate Lauren M's 400th Review!!
So with that.. I'll defer to her review. But the place was excellent! The complimentary cake pushed it over the top and bought an extra star.

Categories:

Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Palmerston, Seaton Village
Not sure how.. but somehow a group of us ended up here on a Saturday night because the waiting list at Snakes and Latte was over 2 hours long!
In my youth, private room Karaoke was the place you go to because if you come from an asian family, you…More »

(416) 531-1827
Category:

Neighbourhood: Casa Loma
I recently got to participate in providing feedback on a dry run script read, and forgot about the charms of this local theatre.
It almost feels like this place is geared towards others in the guild, but the venue itself is appealing for hard core…More »

19. Wildfire Steakhouse & Wine Bar
Hit the Wildfire for a Winterlicious lunch. Luckily because of "Snowmagedon", this place was dead and without a reservation we were able to go.
As with all Winterlicious reviews, it's different from their regular service, but in this case, because of…More »
20. Niwatei
Ramen lovers are a picky bunch. If you don't believe me just do a Ramen search on Yelp and you'll find that most people who love this simple, delicious, cheap, soupy noodle dish will have zillion bits of feedback to provide. From the texture of the…More »
21. Hawthorne Valley Golf
This is one of the best Exec courses (Par 3s and 4s) in the GTA. It's a very fun course that's not overly challenging, but enough to make it interesting for an avid golfer.
It's also easily the best value you're going to find. For a little over…More »

Domo arigato Dolce Gelato!
Me loves me a good gelato, and this new location in Greek town does the trick! The best part is they allow for two flavours with a small cup. I love my frozen treats, but I really don't need much of it to satisfy me. Here…More »

It's uhhh.. a big space?
It had lots of dildos.
It had clothes that came in little boxes (which costs more than $40 might I add).
To my surprise, not that I…More »

I'm not the biggest O&B chain fan. I find them a tad overrated and over priced. But I was very pleasantly surprised at Bannock. It's a very casual place located at the side of the Bay flagship store downtown. Bannock is very similar to…More »

Omnomeriffic Yum! (TM) (58)Ok these are some of my favourite places in the GTA... my places of yum. |
ROTD (6)OK, since all the cool kids have a ROTD list. I guess I'll share mine. |
Pho-U (7)Would you like to get edumacated about Pho? Start here. |
Pho-get-about it. (7)All Pho (but great-pho), all the time. |
Meh! (46)I'm an even keel kind of a guy, I rarely get too excited or overly disapointed about things. SO here's my list of places of meh. |
Lyrical Miracals (24)I'm so ill'n hoping that you'd be chillin' |
Ridonckulousness! (Oh no you di'int?!) (21)Enter and risk your life. |
Toronto Golfer's Not So Ultimate List. (15)This is pretty much the list of places you'll find me during the weekends. Whether it's the driving range or a round of golf, bring your clubs and your swing.Note: I'm a mid-high handicapper and am just not as picky as serious low handicappers. As a weekend duffer, as long as the conditions aren't horrible, or the course is not so poorly designed (i.e. having balls land near you at the tee box) I'm okay with it. Be FORE warned, it's an addictive sport. |
Chinese BBQ (6)Places to get your roasted pork, chicken, duck, some char-sui marinated pork, and if you're lucky a bunch of other items like bung (?!?!) fried smelt/ talapia or tofu.I seriously couldn't go more than a month without some Chinese BBQ. It practically cost me a relationship when someone wanted to turn vegan after seeing a whole roasted pig hung up. You know who I chose to stick by.. yes the piggy. |
