1. Regal Heights Bistro - CLOSED
Regal Heights Bistro is a favourite brunch spot for my SO and I - we can't stop going! They do a live jazz brunch every Sunday which is wonderful!
It is a small, delicious menu with lovely, simple but flavourful, upscale food (i.e. you will have to…More »
2. Toba - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M5A 1J9

Canadian (New),
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Corktown
Great place for romance! The intimate atmosphere and attention to service makes this a perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or impress that certain somebody. This is also a place you can actually have a lovely conversation during dinner.

3. Terroni
Toronto, ON M5C 1K6
(416) 203-3093
Category:
Italian
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
I am really a fan of all Terroni locations, especially Queen Street, but this one is a favourite too - the building/design are breathtaking. This builing was built in the 1850s and has housed many things, including Courthouse Market Grille,…More »
4. Mondello Ristorante
Re-visitation. Must use newly-developed pizza rating system!
Crust Texture: Cracker-thin crust that still manages to be chewy.
Crust Flavor: Salty and chewy-yummy. Great.
Sauce Flavor: Sweet and tangy and herbal - AUTHENTICO!
Sauce Amount: Perfection.…More »

5. The Old Prune
This may just be my favourite place to eat in Stratford. And Stratford has a LOT of great places to eat!
It's one of your small selection of upscale/gourmet/fine dining choices when you're there (the others being The Church Restaurant/The Belfry,…More »
6. Down the Street Bar & Cafe
Stratford, ON N5A 3G8
(519) 273-5886
One of my favourite to go for drinks in Stratford! This is at the VERY top of my list, matched only by Foster's Inn (see separate review).
They have great staff who make FAB drinks, and the cozy atmosphere is lovely. It's a very loooooong place, very…More »
7. Hot House Cafe
Toronto, ON M5E 1T3
(416) 366-7800
I am a fan. What can I say? It's not the BEST food, nor the BEST atmosphere in the city, but we often end up back here! The location is really convenient and the food is good, as are the prices.
It's big enough that you can usually get a table/make a…More »
8. Balzac's Coffee Roastery
Toronto, ON M5A 3C4
(416) 207-1709
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhoods: Distillery District, West Don Lands
One of my two favourite coffee places in East Toronto (the other is Jet Fuel on Parliament St.) - the atmosphere at Balzac's is the coolest. Artists are the most frequent patrons, and many a theatre meeting has taken place upstairs at Balzac's (where…More »

11. High Park
Possibly my favourite place in this vast city of ours!
First of all, the best place to picnic. So much green, so many great spots! High Park is HUGE, and there's tons of waterfront picnic space as well as wooded or fielded areas.
Second of all, the…More »
12. Bistro Camino
Valentine's Day 2011 - Our first time eating out in the new 'hood!
Made the reservations weeks in advance, read every review in existence, all signs pointed to a wonderful evening. I was SO EXCITED!
Mr. Rosie S. even put on a dress shirt! He knew I had…More »
13. Sotto Sotto Restaurant
Another fine-dining favourite! I love this place. Like FIVE STARS love it, as you can see.
Great, cozy atmosphere - fabulous place to impress a date. AHEM!
Officially it's called "Sotto Sotto Trattoria", so you know what kind of food you're in for.

14. Ferro Bar & Cafe
The food is great - we used to go here all the time for "date night" when we lived on the west side.
The service was slow - they seemed VERY understaffed. Not just slow, but a little on the lippy side too, which drives me crazy. SERVICE industry.
They…More »
15. Beach Fairway Golf Range
Scarborough, ON M4E 3T3
(416) 686-4101
So. Mr. Rosie S. and I drive by this place almost daily on our way to or from the grocery store... so today we finally decided to check it out!
Only $7.50 to play the 18-hole mini-putt! WOHOO!
Nothing to complain about... a weird little hidden gem…More »
