1. The Stockyards
Toronto, ON M6C 1B2
(416) 658-9666
Categories:
Canadian (Traditional),
Barbeque,
Southern
Neighbourhood: Wychwood
VIBE
Easily one of my top favourite places to eat in the city. Yes, it's small, cramped and you may have to wait for a seat; or wait for take-out. But it's worth it. The staff are efficient and friendly. Plus, Hello! Wychwood barns is around the…More »

British

This place is so lovely! If you want comfort food, this is the place.
And it was restaurant number 8 crossed off my Restaurant resolutions list.

Yes, I have to say it. So hipster. It is a long, narrow diner with plenty of…More »
3. Asteria Souvlaki Place
Toronto, ON M4K 1N6
(416) 466-5273
Categories:
Greek,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhood: The Danforth
I'm changing my star from 5 to 4 based on the fact that they take no debit and a bit of a surly attitude from my waitress. If you're sitting in front of the menu, at least get up to give me one! Come on!
Still amazing chicken. This time I had the…More »

Yo bro, best souvlaki, bro.

As Greek as you can get on the Danforth. Two Greek men at the grill.… Read more »
4. Chipotle Mexican Grill
Toronto, ON M4P 2C9
VIBE
Fast paced but slow moving. It seems like the line lasts forever but the food attendants are quick. The Eglinton location is way more spacious and better designed than the smaller Eaton Centre franchise. Big points for both high and low seating…More »
5. El Trompo Taco Bar
Toronto, ON M5T 2M1
(416) 260-0097
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
VIBE
This place doesn't look like much on the outside- or the inside. It reminds me of old school Kensington Market, with its ramshackle sign and its checkered table cloths and chinzy Corona signage. I'm not sure if the place is family run but the…More »
6. Gandhi Cuisine
Toronto, ON M5V 2B5
(416) 504-8155
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Queen Street West
VIBE
I avoided the ramshackle yellow sign reminiscent of the 70s for years. Big mistake. Inside there are these chairs covered in some grey corduroy fabric (also from the 70s I assume) and the lighting is off. But who cares about the vibe? Let's talk…More »
7. Mr Greek Mediterranean Grill
Toronto, ON M4K 1P8

Categories:
Greek,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhoods: The Danforth, Greektown
Mr. Greek was like THE original Greek restaurant before it franchised itself out and I've seen it go through its reincarnations. It may be considered fast food fodder or as Mariko puts it "The Milestones of Greek Food" and not as exquisite as other…More »
8. Allen's
Toronto, ON M4K 1N2
(416) 463-3086
Came back here on a Friday night on a spontaneous Friday night bar crawl. We were chatty and craving chicken wings.
Allen's A1 sauce chicken wings hit the spot. They are definitely on my top 3 list of favourite chicken wings in the city.
