Kevin D.'s Profile

KD's Top Restaurants

I love dining more than anything in the world. Here's some of my favourite Toronto restaurants. They're not in a rated order, and I offer all different price ranges as well. A santé!

Update - 6/23/2009

Just went back to Nota Bene last night and I can't get enough!

The service seems to have taken a leap forward, though it was already Top Shelf to begin with. We ordered the "Farm To Fork Charcuterie" to start, followed by the braised short rib and…More »

Bar none- the best service, food and wine in the city that I've been to. There are two restaurants with totally different styles. The Pasta Bar is upscale bistro and The Dining Room is French Fine Dining.

The wine list is extensive with regional…More »

Do you ever drive by that place in your neighbourhood for many months and say, "Hey, we've GOT to try that place some time". This is exactly what happened to me and my wife several weeks ago, and we've now had two incredible suppers at Bistro…More »

Oh My Heavens! Thank God for Julie's!

If you've never had real Cuban cuisine, you're not living! I can not rave enough about this sweet Cuban hideaway on Dovercourt. It's my favourite type of hidden gem: house, house, house, house, hidden gem, house,…More »

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE INDIAN RESTAURANT.

This unique little gem is nestled on Dupont St, near Casa Loma. It's off the beaten path, but is the most authentic, delicious, savoury Indian cuisine I've ever tasted.

I believe you can usually rate an Indian…More »

Great food, affordable dining, great service.

This little Harbord Hideaway is great for a warm winter meal, or a summer patio evening 110-in-the-shade with a cold, frosty beer.

The chef's specials are excellent and one simply feels welcome when you…More »

I LOVE THE KEG!

11/5/2008 First to Review

This tidy little candlelit romantic/funspot has been a favourite of mine for years. It's on Harbord, just east of Ossington. Menu changes are frequent (and tasty) and the wine list is very reasonable.

This place is great for a warm winter hangout as…More »

The most incredible dining experience I've ever had. Right from the Valet on the street to the well-timed service, this restaurant is the epitome of fine dining without pretension.
