Great cocktail joint.
Lavendar-infused gin? Yes please! Went for after dinner drinks here and got smashed trying their fantastic concoctions. Will return to eat.
Hurried home and lavendar-infused my own gin.

Neighbourhoods: Little Portugal, Ossington Strip, Beaconsfield Village
Dropped in here before and after dinner on a Saturday evening and even before 7 p.m. this place was hopping. Choosing to sit on the velvet couch by the open window to enjoy the weather (Kat F. was right - the "patio" is about 3 feet deep so smoke…More »
3. Lindo Michoacan Mexican Restaurant
Mmmmm...fresh guac. 'Nuff said.
As authentic as I will ever come to Mexican food. Tasty dishes including the Shrimp Ceviche and Chile Verde. Very accomodating staff, as they must have made guacamole at our table of 12 around 5 or 6 times.
A little…More »
4. Restaurant Garde-Manger
I must be getting old, as by the time we showed for our 9:30 reservation, the place was so very dark and blaring some cheesy...but awesome...tunes. Where else would you have a candle-lit dinner with a little mix of Metallica and Run DMC?
We were shown…More »
5. Carens Wine & Cheese Bar
After a hard day of following women around shopping, we fell into this place by chance.
I have to say that we only participated in wine and cheese, but with the selection of cheeses and wines, it took the rest of the afternoon to try most of…More »
6. Red Canoe Bistro
Walk in and you see a small restaurant where it looks like the panelling they've chosen to decorate the walls, bar, etc. hasn't been stained yet. We're seated and the first thing I notice as there doesn't appear to be a door hiding patrons from the…More »

Recommended by several friends. Came fairly early and still had a 1/2 hour wait for a table.
This place is pretty freaking great. Fantastic assortment of lagers/ales while waiting.
Wife had the ricotta gnudi - Jeebus it was incredible. I had the…More »
8. The Harbord Room
Only been here a few times and only for brunch...and very hungover...but it was quite enjoyable each visit.
I come for the breakfast eaten at lunch and I stay for their Caesar.

Neighbourhood: Île de la Cité - Île Saint Louis
Apparently, some Parisians detest this place. Must be the tourists. Visited here on my honeymoon after my sister-in-law recommended that we go.
One of my favourite places to eat (in Paris) by far. "Rustic" to say the least...as it is meant to be.…More »

Neighbourhoods: Midtown East, Murray Hill
Funny, friendly and scary Irishman serving you pints is how every pub should be. I was immediately picked out as a tourist for not knowing what Blue Moon was. Now I know.
Wandered in here before dinner on a Saturday and the place was quiet.…More »
11. Jam Asian Kitchen Martini & Wine Bar
I used to take all my first dates here - I really deserved a discount.
Hole in the wall Martini Lounge-feel (same as the one in Port Credit, but that one has a front window that rolls up in the summer). Buddha Bar-esque soundtrack plays in the…More »
12. The Shippons
Visited here a few times in the last week or so. Quintessential English pub.
Nice choice of ales and lagers, though pretty expensive compared to others in the area. Various theme nights of the week (quiz night, live acts, Biker night on Wed.…More »
13. Abbey Road Pub & Patio
Converted from a McDonald's from days of yore.
Great place to watch an EPL footie game on weekends. Will be packed during World Cup too. Decor is your standard pub - stucco, dark panelling, brass plates and a few books thrown around here and there.…More »

***3.5 Stars***
Ate here last night. Fairly quiet earlier in the evening. Maybe it was b/c I was baked, but really enjoyed the food.
Let me start with the beers on hand: Fantastic. Brooklyn Brewery 's Black Chocolate Stout? Yes please! Num num num.

15. Domaine La Tuilière
Strange - my review has been removed.
I like this place. Picturesque, friendly staff and most importantly they had great wines and we dumped down our gullets quite early in the day.
Definitely worth the beautiful drive.
16. Shepherd's Pub
Now this is a pub. Dark, downstairs, god-awful carpet with wear and beer stains, ceiling beams and stucco. All that was missing was brass plates on the walls.
Service was sketch, though. Our server was new and it was clear - several tables that…More »
17. Real Sports Bar & Grill
Absolutely insane amount of televisions in this place, including the largest HD projection screen I've ever seen.
Fantastic selection of draught beer (25+). Menu is fairly well layed out with plenty to choose from. Wings are a tad expensive at…More »
18. O'Finn's Irish Temper
Arrgh. Why is it that wait staff in this day and age STILL decide to remove plates from tables when people are still eating?!
Oh, and I'd like to petition government to look into why it takes so long to get a bill after the meal is completed. A…More »

Take the parents here once in a while, as their god-awful local pub has now closed.

Rather enjoyed this place - must be experienced with a group of 3 or more at lunch, as it was eerily quiet for a cold, rainy Saturday.
Burger was fantastic. Nearly broke a tooth on the pork scratchings (and I was trying to remember why I hadn't had…More »
Recently updated lists from Richie S.
It rubs the lotion on it's skin... (10)Places where men can go to get their pretty on....creepy List Name, huh?! |
Skip these if given a choice. (10)Lets keep this one basic - a list of places that I would now have to bribed somewhat to even think about returning. No joke. |
Great, but (10)Here's a list of fantastic places that just aren't quite "there" yet. |
Good places to help you dress like a Man (8)Well, if I can't act like one, at least I can fool some of you by dressing like one. |
Mmmmeat (15)If it were socially acceptable (and healthy) to eat red meat at every meal, I would load up my bbq in a Radio Flyer and pull it everywhere I went.Instead, I am forced to search for establishments that either serve-up or will sell me glorious mounds of animal flesh. |
Fine Dining Establishments (8)Hey, because I'm pretentious like that!Places I've frequently visited (and in turn either sold my first born, or a kidney). |
The Best of Oakvegas (15)For those brave enough to venture forth into what was the Original Cottage-Country, Oakville has some of the best establishments around. |
French Places (20)I've always had a fetish for French eateries. Full-fledged restos, bistros or boites - it doesn't matter. I'm just getting around to as many as possible. But cut me some slack; I'm on the case and I'm going as fast as my lazy ass can.Maybe it's b/c I judge everyone / everything and generally think I'm better than everyone else. It's the frenchie in me! |
French Places, not in France, but in the GTA (16)I'm on a mission to get to as many Good French place in Ontario as possible before I need a bigger pant size. Here's the list so far. |
Everybody go Hotel, Motel, Holiday Inn (10)Places to stay while away. No, they don't do "hourly". |
