1. Don's Bakery of Bala
Don's is a must-have for any Bala experience.
We were in the area for girls' cottage weekend. Stopped in on a Saturday morning to pick up some world famous cinnamon buns. Bakery was pretty busy and we were told that the buns usually sell out before…More »
2. Lick's Ice Cream & Burger Shops
Decided to grab a late dinner at Lick's on our way up to the cottage. Restaurant was busy with young families as it was a Friday night.
I ordered a root beer ($1.95) and the Snack Pak combo ($5.95), which consisted of a mini-Homeburger and small…More »
3. MaRS Discovery District
Toronto, ON M5G 1L7
(416) 673-8100
Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, Downtown Core
A sleek and modern looking building. I attended a Mobile Monday event in the auditorium. Seats were plenty and comfortable for a 1 1/2 hr long discussion.
There's a mini-food court with a Tim Hortons and few other food places in the basement.

(647) 352-0202
Category:
Diners
Neighbourhoods: Parkdale, Roncesvalles
Checked out Cardinal Rule for dinner with a friend. She has gluten allergies so we're always on the hunt for places that can accommodate. That's the good thing about Cardinal Rule - their menu offers selections for vegetarians, vegans and gluten…More »

Categories:
Diners,
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Little Portugal, Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods
It's been awhile since I've been back to the Lakeview. I'm pretty sure last time I was there, they weren't serving booze.
Stopped in for a quick drink and snack before a friend's show at the Dakota Tavern.
Liked the cozy booths and old time diner…More »

Categories:
Music Venues,

Neighbourhoods: Dufferin Grove, Little Italy, Little Portugal, Ossington Strip
I've always been curious about the Dakota because there's always a line out the door on weekends. We decided to check it out on a Thursday night to see a friends' band.
Front door staff were nice even thought there was a slight mix up with the…More »

Category:
Middle Eastern
Neighbourhoods: Bloor-West Village, Swansea
Falafel World is where we generally pick up dinner when we're too lazy to make anything or just need something quick.
Food is always fresh and tasty. Pricing is super affordable for the expensive Bloor West neighbourhood. Stuffed falafel and swarma…More »
8. Five Drive-In Theatre
I have always wanted to go to a drive in just for the sheer novelty so we decided to check out Five Drive-In in Oakville.
Getting there via the QEW was pretty painless as it was after rush hour. Be aware that they take cash only so hit up a bank…More »
9. Danier Factory Outlet
York, ON M6N 1M2
(416) 762-6631
Categories:
Leather Goods,
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhood: The Junction
It would seem odd that there would be a Danier store so far from the malls and downtown retail areas. Attached to the Danier head office, this large outlet is stocked with leather goods.
Service is attentive, almost too attentive, possibly because…More »
10. Coffee Tree Roastery
Toronto, ON M6S 1P9
(416) 767-1077
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Bloor-West Village
Coffee Tree is my local neighbourhood coffee haunt.
The space is narrow and cozy but I like their quiet backyard patio for catching up with friends.
I generally get the green tea and a ginger molasses cookie but have had their ice coffee and drip…More »
11. Thai Alicious
Toronto, ON M4Y 2B6
(647) 352-1668
Category:
Thai
Neighbourhoods: Yorkville, Downtown Core
Checked out Thai Alicous for lunch with a friend. We placed our orders at the counter and sat down. Food was delivered to our table shortly after we ordered.
I got the chicken pad thai ($8.99). It wasn't great. Noodles were a bit gloopy. Portion…More »

Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
I've passed by Features Cafe many a time on my way to and from work.
Decided to stop in to grab a quick lunch. Ordered a BLT sandwich ($3.50). They had a lunch combo for $5.99 which included a drink and fries with the BLT but I passed since I've…More »

Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
Back for another round at Fabarnak.
My coworker and I meet up for lunch once a month and sure, we could check out other restaurants in the area, but we just end up going back to Fabarnak again and again.
We each ordered the Square Peg ($10 - has gone…More »

Would it be considered obsessive if I ate at Fabarnak TWICE in one week? They might have to get a… Read more »
14. Silk
There are only three options for Thai food in the Junction and Silk is one of them.
We were lured in on a Friday night by a $20 dinner special on a sandwich board outside - dinner for 2 that included hot & sour sour soup, orange chicken cashew with…More »
15. earth Bloor West
Toronto, ON M6S 1P7

Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhood: Swansea
My sister suggested brunch at Earth as a consolation for me missing out on the Scotiabank Marathon this year due to injuries during training.
Armed with a Fabfind coupon, we made reservations for 11am.
They have done a really fine job of renovating…More »
16. Bannock
My friend chose Bannock for a ladies dinner on a Monday night. Reservations were made with ease and a table for four was waiting for us when we arrived.
We started with the poutine to share - fries, curds and chicken gravy. It was piping hot and…More »

Categories:
Pizza,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Bloor-West Village
I was shocked to find that such great pizza comes from this small shop on Annette St.
We ordered 2 pizzas for pick up and were told that they would be ready in about 40 min. We got the Zen Margherita ($13.99) and the Presto Pesto with goat cheese…More »
18. Halina's European Delicacies & Catering
Bloor West Village is known for its European bakeries and delis. Halina's is part of the pack, although a bit removed from its competitors.
This unassuming shop on Annette St. always has a great display of yummy dessert in the window. I finally…More »
19. Crema Coffee Co.
Toronto, ON M4W 1A9
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
I generally try not to start an early morning at work without a coffee from Crema for fear of falling asleep in a meeting and drooling on my VP's important files. I think that's what they call a CLM (career limiting move).
Stopped into Crema to grab…More »
20. Pho Bo To
With the colder weather coming, I always crave pho as a comfort food.
We come to Pho Bo To a lot. It's proximity from our house and Hwy 401 makes it a pre or post road trip pit stop.
I'm a creature of habit so I always get the same thing - large pho…More »
21. Pho 88
Toronto, ON M5T 2E5
(416) 971-8899
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Chinatown, Downtown Core
Saturday afternoon in Chinatown, hungry for food and there's line ups at both Pho Hung and King's Noodles. We walked a bit further south on Spadina and decided to duck into Pho 88.
I've eaten at a few other Pho 88 locations before but not this…More »
22. Alfredos Fine Food
Alfredo's is a specialty grocery store that caters to the Upper Bloor West and Baby Point crowd. Their prices are higher than the average Loblaws but I do rely on them when I'm missing a few items to complete a meal or if I'm looking for that one…More »
23. Michael's
This Michael's location inside the Dixie Mall in Mississuaga is the closest location to my house. I come here often because I'm a craft nerd. I mostly peruse the aisles and shop only when I have a weekly discount coupon in hand.
I buy a majority of…More »
24. Izba Restaurant
Etobicoke, ON M8Y 1K7
(416) 251-7177
I always celebrate the arrival of autumn with feasting on cabbage rolls. It's a comfort food that I crave as the leaves turn colours and the weather starts to get cool.
We haven't been back to Izba in a few years but we decided to return for dinner.…More »
25. Yelp Masquerade at Bar Vespa
What a fantastic event to brighten up a dark and rainy Tuesday night.
I use to work in Liberty Village but I haven't been back since last summer. I was pretty confident that I knew where Bar Vespa was but we arrived at the wrong address thanks to…More »
26. Island Foods
I use to come to Island Foods a lot when I worked in the area but haven't been back since I left. We decided to check it out for a quick bite before a Yelp event in the area.
Even though Island Foods is probably considered fast food, there really…More »
27. King Palace
Just like the food I had here, I am only lukewarm about King's Palace.
Met a friend for lunch and we both grabbed a combo. I had the mattar paneer on rice. It came with a small side salad and pop ($10). My friend chose the mango chicken, saag…More »

Neighbourhood: Bloor-West Village
Cozy little coffee shop on Jane St. Stopped in to grab an Americano ($3.00) and the gingerbread latte ($4.75). We had our drinks to stay so we grabbed a table for two.
We noticed that they have a brunch menu on the weekends with 5-6 entrees to…More »
29. Roti Time
When we can't make it down to Queen West for Gandhi's rotis, we swing by here. I think the story is that the owners of Roti Time were trained by the Gandhi guys so the food is quite on par.
I always get the same thing - mattar paneer roti ($10). As…More »
30. Dundas Pizza
This small take out pizza joint in the Junction area turns out some okay pie.
You can call in ahead of time to place an order for pick up, but we just drop in and take a large pizza of whatever's available - pepperoni, deluxe, Hawaiian or a combo of…More »
