Wow.
It's scary to see a Vietnamese restaurant so clean. I mean, shouldn't they be concentrating on the food? Luckily for us, the food was great. The avocado shake, spring rolls, grilled pork and pho were fabulous. The service was great too. The…More »

So I'm sitting at the long bar along the windows at Cedar Cottage and am struck with nostalgia. 60's-esque indie folk is playing and behind the counter is a middle-aged woman speaking French to her cook in the back room. The French has just pushed me…More »

The bad news is that I live close to this place, thus making it all too convenient to eat delicious, delicious fatty, gooey BBQ pork and duck. The good news is that the meat here tastes good enough to turn my frown upside down (as Silvia C puts it:…More »

This is my postal shop, homeboy! I love this tiny stamp shop. It's been run by the same sweet lady for as long as I've lived in the neighbourhood, and she's an absolute doll. I wonder if she gets bored there. I've never seen anyone else in it, but…More »

Award winning pho on the Ho Chi Minh trail? This I HAD to check out. I mean, it's hard to find a bad pho-bowl in this town, so I imagined that this pho must stand out head and shoulders above the rest. Nope. Not so much. I guess pho is always good!

Cozy hole in the wall on the quiet Kingsway strip. From the outside (and from how I remembered it as the Sun Fat Cafe) it was easy to assume that not much had changed. Boy was I wrong. The interior has been renovated and I can't believe it's the same…More »

The Cedar Cottage Pub is a cozy watering hole in the Kensington Cedar Cottage, and by hole, I don't mean hole-in-the-wall, but hole in the ground! It's below street level on Kingsway. Pretty cool little place to venture down into. Wear your flats,…More »

This place means business. With duck, pork and unknown meats hanging in the window you know this tiny little meat shop is the real deal.
When meat-guy chops, he does so with bare hands and chops so fast I worry he'll lose a finger. He…More »
