 1. Ravi Soups

322 Adelaide St W
Toronto, ON M5V 1R1
(647) 435-8365

Categories: Sandwiches, Soup

Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core

5.0 star rating
  9/10/2011

Really just excellent. At $11, their Soup & Wrap combo is the best lunch value around.

Ravi's storefront is easy to miss, and the front of house where orders are placed is crowded and chaotic, but only because they are a victim of their own awesome.…More »

 2. Town Crier Pub

115 John St
Toronto, ON M5V 3Y8
(416) 204-9588

Category: Pubs

Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core

4.0 star rating
  9/23/2011

Now, I'll be honest. When you say you have 50 European beers on tap and you're counting a Stella tap, a Creemore tap, and 5 Hacker-Pschorrs (Hackers-Pschorr?) I make a bit of a face.

Still, the Town Crier redeems itself ably. Kwak, Erdinger, Palm, La…More »

Heavens no, don't.

Well, mostly.

This is a 1-star joint. Dingy. Lots of staff, but they're stepping on each other's toes. No one really seems to know what they're doing. The cashiers don't know the menu, the prep staff have no system. The prices are…More »

 4. Adelaide Street Pub - CLOSED

340 Adelaide Street W
Toronto, ON M5V 1R4
(416) 977-6800

Category: Gastropubs

Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core

3.0 star rating
  9/10/2011

A 2.5 star pub with a 3.5 star patio.

Surrounded by the excellent options in this part of the city, the kitchen has its work cut out for it. I have to say, the initial impressions were not great ones: my sweet potato fries were soggy and limp, and…More »

 5. Grindhouse Burger Bar

365 King St W
Toronto, ON M5V
(416) 977-3010

Categories: Canadian (New), Burgers

Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core

4.0 star rating
  9/23/2011

A very solid gourmet burger joint.

For a place with a name like "Grindhouse", it's a little bit precious: lemon in the water, all condiments made in-house, black truffle salsa. Still, one man's precious is another's attention to detail, and Grindhouse…More »

 6. Sense Appeal Coffee Roasters

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

5.0 star rating

I said dayum. Toronto is not slouch when it comes to decent coffee joints, but Sense Appeal really rises above.

First things first: the coffee is fantastic. Custom roasts rotated regularly with their trademark periodic-table naming (T, O, Bh) have…More »

Corned beef on rye (with a pickle). As promised.

It's easy to miss on your walk along Adelaide. Hooters, Office Bar, and Pizzaiolo are all competing for your attention at Adelaide and John with high contrast signage. Corned Beef House sits with its…More »

 8. Little Nicky's Coffee

375 Queen St W
Toronto, ON M5V 2A5

Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core

4.0 star rating

Tasty coffee, free wifi, nice space, mini donuts. What's not to like?

Little Nicky's is the straight up platonic ideal hipster coffee bar. I don't mean it as a slight, nor as praise, it's just objective fact. Let's add up the score:

- Chalkboard menu

Oh holy damn. Cheap, fresh, tasty lunch eats.

A line snakes nearly out the door into the wintry December daylight. Single file, they wait, corralled by stainless steel prep counters and, beyond them, the open kitchen and the smell of sizzling pork…More »

A tasty breakfast, but nothing to write home about.

I love crepes. I love pancakes, waffles, anything with that vanilla and butter-flavoured batter. In Europe, crêpes are pretty standard hand-food, available for on-the-go nosh in most big cities, and…More »

Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core

3.0 star rating
  5/17/2012

Different and tasty, worth checking out, but not a knockout.

Hot dogs, like most substrates, are misunderstood. The core ingredients of a hot dog (bun, pink slime) can be good or not-so-good, and there's certainly art in getting each piece right, but…More »

  5/21/2012 First to Review

A solid offering with a good people-watching patio.

I can be bought. This is probably a 3 star place, and certainly setting up shop next to Le Gourmand doesn't do them any favours in terms of the invited comparison.

But I'm sitting here on the patio,…More »

When I'm Not Yelping...

I'm probably pointing a camera at something.

My First Concert

First... that's tough. Edgefest '97 was the first biggie, though.

My Favourite Movie

Pulp Fiction? Good Morning Vietnam? Rounders? Can recite the script for each...

My Last Meal On Earth

Duff's Armageddon Wings, black truffle burger, or maybe some slow roasted lamb.
