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 »

6. Rowe Farms
I have to update my original review.
I still love the idea of Rowe Farms, I am happy they are close to me, and I still visit almost weekly. However, now that Meating on Queen carries Free Run anti-biotics free eggs for almost $1 less, and Meating…More »

8. Bobbette & Belle
Toronto, ON M4M 1K9
(416) 466-8800
these guys honestly just keep getting better and better. My BF's boyfriend recently had a Bobbette & Belle cake for her birthday that looked like a Louis Vuitton bag. It was unbelievable and a total show stopper. Plus it was delicious. The last two…More »

Canadian (New),
Wine Bars

Swirl is adorable. Teeny, tiny, cupboard like, patrons sit on reclaimed benches with either old doors or antique sewing machine tables. Your wine comes care of the very quiet and friendly server in a little clay carafe. Very dark and quiet with…More »

17. The Roy Public House
*disclaimer* I am REALLY not into pubs or pub food, and I cannot even imagine a pub I would say "yay I am a fan" to.
Regardless of my anti-pub tendancies, this is a pretty decent pub. This is my neighborhood pub, which is more frequented by my SO and…More »

I really hate to do this.
