1. Bistro Seven Seven
I think this was one of the best meals I've had in a while. The prices are good and the portions you get are at least double you'd get in the city. The ingredients are fresh and you can tell. The menunis traditional yet unique. Oh man, if your in…More »
2. Carens Wine & Cheese Bar
I love this place. It's my first choice when I'm in Yorkville and looking for somewhere to have a nice drink or dessert, or get a meal.
It's reasonably priced (for Yorkville) and it's something different.
I love the patio (but in front and in the…More »

That's the power of Yelp. 52 reviews, and it brings in more customers than ever, including me, who would have never heard about this amazing little place if it wasn't for Yelp
And I'm sure glad I did.
It's small. But you can make reservations. For…More »

How do I describe? it's like Owl of Minerva + BCDST + House of Soon Tofu + any chinese owned Korean/Japanese place - Chinese owned and all other non Korean food + ironcast Unagi and Kastus
That probably made no sense. Let me elaborate.

4.5 star review. Only because it doesn't take reseravations and we waited (a very tolerable) 1 hr across the street at the hoof cafe, and the bathroom smelt funny.
I knew it would be a wait, but we got there at 8pm and we were told there was a 1.5 hr…More »

I heart Lit Espresso bar.

I have not a bad thing to say about the place! And it all started from the prompt (1 min delay) when they called me back after a left a message for a reservation.

Saturday morning. 11am. Wow this place is incredibly busy. With only a handful of seats here, don't be surprised by a 10 min wait, or you can cozy up to the 4 seats in the bar area.
It's interesting how if you want to add or delete items from their…More »

Fresh. Tasty. Healthy. It's got to be one of the best quick lunches I've had in a while.
Hidden away at Dupont and Spadina, you might miss it as you walk by (as with a lot of the small establishments on the street). Mostly takeout, there are a few…More »
