1. 7 Pizzeria Enoteca
7 Pizzeria Enoteca (or 'The 7' for the cool kids) is a brand spanking new Italian restaurant in downtown Oakville. It's on the east side of Town Square, closeby Soontorn Bahn Thai and the Green Beanery. I hope it doesn't show my age too much that I…More »
2. One Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5R 1C2
Canada
(416) 961-9600
Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhood: Yorkville
"It's hard not to feel that many of the previous reviewers were less reviewing the restaurant than reviewing expensive restaurants as a class or expressing their own class antagonisms." Warren L.
This is the first time I've started a review with an…More »
3. Bistro 990 Restaurant - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M5S 3A8
Canada
(416) 921-9990
Category:
French
Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, University of Toronto, Downtown Core
We followed a right-pointing arrow on the front of the building clear into the parking lot; this, it would turn out, was way off base. Mustering our combined mental capacity, my dinner companion and I (both idiots apparently) eventually located the…More »
4. Seven Grams
This literally cool café in Yorkville was a delight on Toronto's first scorching summer day. Located just south of Davenport on Avenue Rd, Seven Grams is just enough off the beaten path. It's a sleek and modern split-level coffeeshop with plenty of…More »
5. Cabin Five
Toronto, ON M5V 1W2
Canada
(416) 979-3000
Category:
Dance Clubs
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
I remember when this place was called Black Betty (and therefore served to always thrust that G.D. Ram Jam tune into my head). It has seen a dramatic renovation since then, and with it an equally dramatic improvement. It is now Cabin Five: the…More »
6. Café 260
Toronto, ON M5A 1P4
Canada
(416) 368-9222
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Corktown
Located in the heart of George Brown College, Café 260 is a cozy alcove that serves espresso, baked goods, sandwiches and soups. The coffee is delicious and the beans are roasted fresh every 2 days. There is free wireless Internet for patrons, but…More »
7. The Wilson 96
Toronto, ON M6G 1B4
Canada
(416) 516-3237
Category:
Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park
Toronto politicians take heed. Sandwich boards are a serious determinant in the success of small businesses in Toronto. Just tonight a sandwich board informed me of a $5 draught special at The Wilson 96. Without that flimsy sign dressed in chalk, I…More »
8. 7 West Cafe
Toronto, ON M4Y 1R4
Canada
(416) 928-9041
Categories:
Italian,
Breakfast & Brunch,
Nightlife
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
A few notes from my last visit at lunch. Nothing really went right. My fountain pop was flat and tasteless and a replacement was served warm with a sliver of ice in it (running low, guys?).
I started off with a house salad which was hair-pullingly…More »

9. Ronnie's Local 069
Toronto, ON M5T 1M6
Canada
(416) 340-1110
Category:
Dive Bars
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
Diminutive bar with a patio to match in Kensington Market. If I understand correctly, a requisite amount of coolness is required to imbibe at Ronnie's. (And possibly a union card.) I lack both, but enjoyed myself anyway. Didn't get much service on…More »
10. 360 Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5V 2T6
Canada
(416) 362-5411
Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhood: Entertainment District
It's a heck of a view from the 360 restaurant. While I don't think it is the highest restaurant in the world anymore (that's in Dubai), it's certainly the tallest view of this city. The entire outer edge of the restaurant completes a full revolution…More »
11. Bistro 243
Toronto, ON M5A
Canada
(647) 350-8800
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Corktown
My experience at this King Street bistro was akin to unleashing a greased otter on a ski slope, i.e., going downhill and fast. I grabbed a seat at the bar on Saturday morning, hoping for a quick breakfast. What I got was a schmozzle.
Not feeling like…More »
12. Ten Mile Aroma
Toronto, ON M5T
Canada
(416) 916-8170
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Downtown Core
There should be a circle of Hell reserved for those who pursue cheap booze. It would be manifested by hand-scrawled and barely-literate signage, viciously inebriated derelicts (no less than two in this joint, and a few from our party), the pungent…More »
