Matthew S.'s Profile

Eating in the Boonies

I'm a born and raised downtown Torontonian and I rarely get out of the city's core. High Park, Eglinton, and the Don River are the rough limits of my Toronto. These are some of the places I've ventured out of my geographical comfort zone to eat at.

1. King David Pizza

3020 Bathurst St
North York, ON M6B 3B6
(416) 781-1326

Categories: Pizza, Middle Eastern

1/30/2010 First to Review

How has no one Yelped King David yet? For a city that loves falafels it's a travesty that this place isn't well known.

First, it may be called King David Pizza but these guys are all about the falafels. If you eat a lot of falafels downtown you're…More »

2. Armenian Kitchen

1646 Victoria Park Ave
North York, ON M1R 1P7
(416) 757-7722

Category: Middle Eastern

Update - 4/18/2010

Still my favourite Middle Eastern spot in the city. A couple updates though.

First, after repeat visits, I realize this is really a four star place. I just feel they're cutting corners a little bit. For example, the Vegetable Combo Plate ($12) only…More »

3. Chorizo Fresh Mex

950 Southdown Rd
Mississauga, ON L5J 2Y6
(905) 822-6988

Category: Mexican

Surprisingly good burritos given the location in an otherwise deserted strip mall near Clarkson GO Station in Mississauga. Closer to the Chipotle style than the Burrito Boyz style.

The burritos ($8.59) are nice and big and come one of 5 or 6 different…More »

4. ACR Hot Roti & Doubles

Scarborough, ON M1P 4Y4
(416) 755-7806

Category: Caribbean

Neighbourhood: Scarborough

There isn't much to say that Adeel O hasn't already said. Delicious and cheap East Indian inspired West Indian food served by super friendly ladies in a classic hole in the wall shop.

ACR is only 5 minutes from Lawrence East SRT station, so it's…More »

5. Szechuan Gourmet Restaurant

North York, ON M2R 2S9
(416) 663-8888

Category: Chinese

2/3/2010

My first experience with Hakka food was well worth the trek out to the boonies. Devan R made the dish picks for our UYE group and didn't let us down.

We started with two soups: hot and sour and chicken and corn. Both are Chinese restaurant standards…More »

6. Hopper Hut

880 Ellesmere Rd
Scarborough, ON M1P 2W6
(416) 299-4311

Category: Indian

Neighbourhood: Scarborough

3/10/2010

Hopper Hut was my first experience with Sri Lankan food and, while my experience was mixed, it was certainly worth the trip out to Scarborough to try this unique cuisine. Portions were large, prices low, and the food was interesting and mostly good.…More »
