Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: The Junction
Yasi's place is my favourite brunch spot in the city. It's tiny, cluttered, and definitely eclectic, but it's most certainly awesome. They make excellent soups, which pair well with equally impressive grilled cheese sandwiches. I'd comment on…More »

I've been to lots of Pho places in the city: this is the best one. Seriously Pho My Duyen is bright and clean. Granite tables and funky chairs seem a bit out of place at a pho restaurant. The food is cheap, but very tasty. The pho is excellent,…More »

I've been to Holy Oak a few times now. It opened up recently in the Blansdowne neighbourhood, down the road from the sort-of-sketchy Coffee Time. To say it's a welcome addition to the area would be an understatement. Americano's are $2, and they are…More »

Breakfast & Brunch

Soul Food shut down, and has been replaced by this excellent waffle shop. Just North of Bloor on Lansdowne, next to a bunch of houses. The shop is easy to miss if you aren't from the area. Starving Artist has both a front and backyard patio, and a…More »

I've been to Ciro's several times now, and have enjoyed it each time. It seems a bit out of place at the corner of Bloor and Lansdowne, as there are no other bars like it in the area. It has a very large selection of beers, which are sold at fairly…More »

This has to be one of the best places to get beef patties in the city. The lady who runs the shop makes them fresh several times a day by the looks of things. They are excellent. The shop sells other Jamacian food as well, though I haven't had any…More »

Indian

A mom and pop South Indian place in Blansdowne: it's hard to be objective. The place is all kinds of authentic. The food is tasty, and they have a great selection of South Indian dishes. Don't show up expecting Butter Chicken or Tandoori. If you've…More »

Bars

3-speed opened up down the road from me, just a bit West of Dufferin and Bloor. So it's at the edge of Blansdowne. The bar is owned by the same people that own The Communist's Daughter. I've been there a couple times now. Each time I've found the…More »
I finally made it out to 3 Speed last night. It opened up the night before the BIG on BLOOR festival… Read more »
Albany Pizza recently left a flyer wedged in my condo door. Proving that advertising does in fact work, my friends and I ordered a Pizza shortly after finding it there. I've walked passed their location several times. It's a dumpy looking shop next…More »

I won't lie, the place is a bit of a dive. Most of the customers are a bit sketchy, and some people may find that intimidating. I don't think it's a particularly rough bar, but I haven't spent much time there. I can say that the juke box was playing…More »

Shopping Centres
Neighbourhood: Wallace Emerson
Galleria Mall gets 2 stars because it's a quintessential example of those ugly 1970s malls that litter all of Toronto. If you are in desperate need of a dollar store, a no-name electronics shop where you can get no-name knock off electronics, phone…More »

Dry Cleaning & Laundry
Neighbourhoods: Bloordale Village, Wallace Emerson
This place has changed owners. The new dude is there on time (!!) more often then not, though my wife seems to like the old couple more.
My wife continues to go here, against my protestations. It's a so-so dry cleaner, made a very so-so… Read more »

Soul Food
Neighbourhood: Wallace Emerson
Soul Food serves food from St. Lucias. The place has a very casual laid back vibe. You feel like you're eating in some dudes house. It's actually very laid back. Don't go here if you are in a rush, it will just make you crazy. The food was…More »
