I love Burgoo. It had been too long since my last visit.

Brunch was at the Rumpus Room this afternoon. It was wonderful.

6. Foundation
I love this place.
The first time I dined here I was warned in advance that the service was terrible. I've been many many times in the last 2 years and never once has my service been any worse than slightly indifferent. Even then, I don't really…More »

15. John Hendry Park/Trout Lake Park
John Hendry park is almost perfect. It's central, it's close to transit, and it's beautiful.
If the lake wasn't disgusting it would have it all! But I don't come here to swim so the 5 stars will stay that way.
My favourite thing about Trout Lake is the…More »
