1. Venezia Bakery
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z4
(416) 537-2914
Categories:
Bakeries,
Portuguese
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
The closest of three Portuguese bakeries to my home (by a hair), I like Venezia best for breakfast and snacks. I also like it best for the inclusive feel. Venezia is the very epitome of the "mom and pop" shop, although I only seem to see mom when I…More »
2. The Queen And Beaver Public House
Toronto, ON M5G 1H1
(647) 347-2712
Categories:
Pubs,
Sports Bars
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Wow. The food here is amazing. No, it's not cheap. But really, if you want to eat cheaply and don't care if the food is amazing, then cook something for yourself. Amiright?
Went for dinner on Saturday night. Our early evening plans didn't pan out so…More »
3. Snakes & Lattes
Toronto, ON M6G 1K4
(647) 342-9229
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Hobby Shops
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Seaton Village
In a neighborhood of Korean restos, chain coffee shops and scrubby college dives, Snakes and Lattes stands out. An indie coffee shop with an entertaining twist and lively employees? I am in!
Checked it out last night for a latte. Yes, predictable,…More »
4. Woodlot Bakery & Restaurant
Toronto, ON M6J 2J3
(647) 342-6307
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Vegetarian
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Palmerston
We went on Friday night and everything was perfection. Granted, we were fortunate to be seated at the best table in the house, up on the balcony, with a view of the open kitchen and very cool wood-burning oven.
The service was great. Never needed a…More »
5. Cava Restaurant
Toronto, ON M4T 2S9
(416) 979-9918
Category:
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park
Since Cava opened when I used to live in the neighborhood, I have been a fan. I have read the other reviews and I don't understand the negatives. Yes, Cava was among the first in the city to do the small plates thing, and they are still doing it. I…More »
6. Okonomi House Restaurant
Toronto, ON M4Y 2R4
(416) 925-6176
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
I have never tried okonomi before today and now I am a devotee!
I went for lunch with a couple of friends today. Be forewarned, the lunch portions are HUGE. My friend and I shared the seafood deluxe okonomi and it was delicious and extremely filling.…More »
7. The Garrison
Toronto, ON M6J
(416) 519-9439
Category:
Music Venues
Neighbourhoods: Little Portugal, Beaconsfield Village
I know I am biased because I saw such a great show last night at The Garrison. The bias is fair. It is a music club, so having great shows is worth some stars.
The Garrison opened in the fall, and this was my first visit, but I know I will be back. I…More »
8. Foxley Bistro and Bar
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z8
(416) 534-8520
Categories:
Vietnamese,
Thai
Neighbourhoods: Little Portugal, Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
I have never had anything bad at Foxley. I especially love the ceviches and am really glad they offer such a variety of them, as ceviches are hard to find in this fair city of ours. So thanks Foxley, for the ceviches last night. Yum.
Good wine list…More »
9. Rodney's by Bay
Awesome, awesome, awesome!
I just came from a delicious lunch at Rodney's By bay and I am so happy! I love the original Rodney's and now I love this place which is more convenient for lunch during the week.
The place is square shaped, with a square…More »
