See All Lists
1. Ward's Island
Ward's Island is one of the many things that makes Toronto unique. The only problem being is that many native Torontonians have never been.
To access, visit the Toronto Island ferry docks, and pick the "Wards" ferry, not overun with strollers, you…More »
2. Toronto Music Garden
One of the nicest bits about Harbourfront.
Live performances Thursdays and Sundays, mostly Classical and world music. Incredibly beautiful, and sitting on the steps watching a performance outside is truly magical, this is a special place.
For info…More »
3. Bairrada Churrasqueira Grill
Toronto, ON M6H 1A7
(416) 539-8239
Categories:
Portuguese,
Barbeque
Neighbourhood: Dufferin Grove
This place is amazing. You cannot get better atmosphere in the summer.
We revisited, with a couple, an old friend from high school and a sibling. There was no need to worry about the time that would be had by all.
We were warmly welcomed by our…More »

I am very lucky to have a Portuguese friend, or certainly, I would have never been introduced to… Read more »
4. Riverdale Farm
Toronto, ON M4X 1B8
(416) 392-6794
Since changing my morning bicycle commute route to include Cabbagetown (SO gorgeous) I now have the added delight of riding past Riverdale Farm twice a day. I have to admit I have stopped to see the animals.
Cabbagetown itself is worth the visit, as…More »
5. Salad King Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5B 1R8
(416) 593-0333
Category:
Thai
Neighbourhoods: Ryerson, Downtown Core
Salad King. I love you. I know you are more "fuzion" than Thai, but I forgive you. Honestly, in my mind you could do no wrong.
A fresh to Toronto (and fresh faced) Jennifer of a decade ago, would frequent the small and no frills location on Gould,…More »
6. Chino Locos
Toronto, ON M4L 2P4
(647) 345-5626
Categories:
Mexican,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
I am not really one for Burritos. I know that sounds suspect, but I never really got into them. That being said, the Burritos at Chino Locos are ridiculous. Un real, and have completely turned me into daydreaming about burritos and running down Queen…More »
7. Leslie Street Spit Trail
This is one of my favorite places in Toronto.
Also known as Tommy Thompson Park. I cannot believe I lived in the city for so many years without knowing this place existed. My partner and I get on our bicycles and visit at least once a week. Whenever…More »
8. Dufferin Grove Park
Dufferin Grove Park is a beautiful sprawling outdoor community run park in West Toronto. Besides having a play area, and lots of open space, there are a number of special things going on at the park that are worth noting.
Healthy and cheap eats!! The…More »
9. The Ritz Carlton
Toronto, ON M5J 2H5
(416) 585-2500
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
Ritz Carlton is obviously synonymous with luxury, and it does not disappoint. Luckily, a close friend is a manager at the Ritz, so my friends and I got a tour of the facilities. The rooms are spectacular. So comfortable and luxurious with bright…More »
10. Zaza Espresso Bar
sunshine, espresso, grage doors open to Yorkville. Filled with genuine Italians sitting, standing, chatting in European Languages, sipping espresso and donned in expensive tinted eyewear and cashmere sweaters.
The super friendly owner (From Napoli)…More »
11. Sukho Thai
Sukho Thai is a tiny restaurant, in a questionable neighbourhood, that always has a lineup spilling onto the street. It serves authentic, delicious Northern Thai Cuisine. The owners are a husband and wife couple. He is Canadian, and met and married a…More »
12. Hodo Kwaja
Toronto, ON M6G 1K9
(416) 538-1208
I cannot BELIEVE people don't like Red Bean Paste. I will gladly eat anything Red Bean Paste. Yum.
The Walnut Potato ones are good too, but just not the same. A dozen walnut cakes for $3 is the perfect dessert for two - great for stopping in after…More »
13. Tofu Village - House of Soon Tofu
Toronto, ON M6G 4B9
(647) 345-3836
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhood: Bickford Park
I have to say that after having Buk Chang http://www.yelp.ca/biz... a handful of times recently, and visiting Owl of Minerva http://www.yelp.ca/biz... , HoSu http://www.yelp.ca/biz... and First Markham's Sogong http://www.yelp.ca/biz... for soon tofu…More »

I think "Yay! I'm a fan" is appropriate.
Just came back from dinner at Tofu Village, and I am… Read more »
14. Udupi Palace
This is hands down, the best indian food I have had since Malaysia. ( Malaysia, especially the west coast is very heavily populated by south Indians. Thali on Banana Leaf for lunch is prevalent , cheap, delicious and very popular.) The food here is…More »
15. Sugar Beach
Sugar Beach is cute! I'm not really one for baking in the sun, but its nice to have sand, even if not natural.
Bonus points for revitalization. This spot was completely underused before. I like how you look out over the Redpath factory, this…More »
16. Agave Y Aguacate
Toronto, ON M5T
(647) 208-3091
Categories:
Ethnic Food,
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
Green Tostada, amazing.
Fresh guacamole, quesa fresca, tomato, sauce. All made to order. All made with love, and care, and one order at a time. Perfectly seasoned. Portions are on the smaller side, so get an empanada from the booth across from Agave…More »
17. Rua Vang Golden Turtle
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z2
(416) 531-1601
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
This is a "Vegetarian pho" biased review.
Golden Turtle gets 4 stars because my SO (pho eater) and I (not pho eater) can both agree on the quality. We like it. It also gets bonus points for having real vegetarian pho. Often (especially in winter) I…More »
18. Hotel Ocho
Toronto, ON M5T 2C5
(416) 593-0885
So I had to find a location for a going away party for a girlfriend that could seat 15 or so people dropping in and out, that was centrally located, that served wine and food, and was not too expensive. Oh, also on a Friday evening. I recommended…More »
19. Ethiopian House Restaurant
I love Ethiopian food, and have sampled Ethiopian restaurants all over the city. Whereas, I still think that *perhaps* Lalibela (West) is the best - Ethiopian House comes in close second. It is not as cheap as Nazarath, or as authentic as Dukem,…More »
20. Ginger
In university, I used to eat at the Ginger south of here, honestly like 4 times a week. Meal and pop was under $5. That one doesn't exist anymore, but its older grungier brother does, and it is steps from my office.
Ginger isn't epic, by any means,…More »
21. Guu Izakaya
Toronto, ON M5B
(416) 977-0999
Categories:
Japanese,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Since being to Guu, all I want to do is Guu.
if you have not been to an Izakaya, be prepared for a big surprise. An Izakaya is more like a Tapas bar than a restaurant. You go to hang out with your friends and have drinks, the food is secondary, and…More »
22. Scarborough Bluffs
Living in Toronto for over a decade I did not manage to visit the Bluffs park until about a year or so ago, and I was completely in shock. Its AWESOME. The bluffs are beautiful there is a large sand beach and decent washroom facilities. Several…More »
