Categories:
Canadian (New),
Vegetarian
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Palmerston
We went on Friday night and everything was perfection. Granted, we were fortunate to be seated at the best table in the house, up on the balcony, with a view of the open kitchen and very cool wood-burning oven.
The service was great. Never needed a…More »

Why did no one ever think of french toast with foie gras before??!!! Melt in your mouth amazing! And the freaking donuts??!!! I can't believe they didn't have them the last time I was there. This time they had them with rhubarb! Yes, bone marrow and…More »

If you are in Toronto and hungry, go to LAB!
This place is amazing - and it doesn't matter if you are a vegetarian or a meat-atarian, you'll love it.
Went last night for an anniversary dinner, and weren't we lucky? We had the place to ourselves.…More »

Category:
French
Neighbourhoods: Palmerston, Bickford Park
Go! Seriously! These guys have worked hard for nearly 2 years fighting city hall to get this place open and it is fantastic.
The staff are friendly, obliging, helpful, etc. The chef is also the owner, J.P Challet, and his partner is running the front…More »

Canadian (New)
Neighbourhood: Dufferin Grove
Super nice staff, great ribs. Hadley's in 5 words or less!
The place is small and casual. I showed up a few minutes before my man did, so I got to choose my seat. Went with the bar. The bartender, who may also be the owner/manager, was really…More »
7. The Monk's Table
Toronto, ON M4T 1W5
(416) 920-9074
I went here for lunch the other day and can't wait for return trips.
The Monk's Table is a cozy pub atmosphere with an outstanding menu high above pub quality. The beer list is extensive, with a lot of English and other European beers on tap and in…More »

Category:
Gastropubs
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Trinity Bellwoods
5 stars for the charcuterie, but 4 for everything else.
The charcuterie is the best I've had anywhere. Duck proscuitto so fatty and moist, spicy thin sliced meats, delicious foie gras and terrine. Go just for the charcuterie. It is the best dish on…More »
9. Cava Restaurant
Toronto, ON M4T 2S9
(416) 979-9918
Category:
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park
Since Cava opened when I used to live in the neighborhood, I have been a fan. I have read the other reviews and I don't understand the negatives. Yes, Cava was among the first in the city to do the small plates thing, and they are still doing it. I…More »

I have been wanting to go here for months! The husband was dragging me around to computer stores and we walked by Caplansky's! Haven't eaten all day so here's the perfect opportunity.
Ok, so I've been reading about this place since it opened and I…More »

Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
-1 star for the hangover. Ohmigod. Those dirty vodka martinis are so good I had to have another. Yikes.
Nice bartenders, good dj, cool ambience, and the crowd is a little bit older and more respectful than in some of the other spots on Ossington,…More »
12. Black Camel
mmmmmmm
I got super lucky the other day and stopped in on my way through Rosedale subway back to work after an appointment. I ordered, paid, and was handed a sandwich before I could put my change in my purse! All the other times I've come at lunch…More »
13. Keg Steakhouse & Bar
Toronto, ON M5H 3R8
(416) 703-1773
Category:
Steakhouses
Neighbourhoods: Financial District, Downtown Core
I had no idea what the Keg was when I moved to Toronto. They don't have them in the U.S., but boy would they love the Keg there! I don't go often, and usually when I do, it's with colleagues and clients, but everytime I go, I enjoy it.
This Keg has it…More »

Category:
Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park
I walked by this place last weekend and noticed the cute signage (especially the one noting "Fresh oysters shucked here"), checked the Yelp reviews (positive) and decided to try it for dinner.
I was very impressed. It's popular, but tables are…More »

Categories:
Specialty Food,
Butcher
Neighbourhoods: Rosedale, Summer Hill
This is a high-end butcher located in the area just south of the Summerhill LCBO amongst a group of upscale food purveyors known as "The Five Thieves," I believe because of their prices. I haven't purchased a lot of meat there, so this review is…More »
16. Paramour Restaurant
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z4
(416) 953-2356
Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
You can tell Ossington has gentrified just by looking at the menu at the newly opened Paramour Restaurant. I definitely recommend Paramour for it's impeccable service and food. But it ain't cheap!
The other patrons in the restaurant were all over 40,…More »
17. Ruth's Chris Steak House
Toronto, ON M5H 2L2
(416) 955-1455
Category:
Steakhouses
Neighbourhoods: Financial District, Downtown Core
I liked Ruth's Chris better than the Keg. Everything was delicious and, as it's an American chain, HUGE! Seriously. The side of onion rings would have served 8 people! Each onion ring was bigger than my face! They were good though.
I have to confess,…More »

Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
I was already a fan of Bohmer for dinner, and now that they added a Sunday brunch service, I had to try it.
Again, the food is delicious. Very fresh ingredients, classic preparation, and perfectly seasoned food. As you know from reading all of the…More »

19. Retro Burger - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M4T 1Y5
(416) 640-0309
Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park
So, I was craving a burger and thought I'd try something new, and Retro Burger was it. This location has been a bit of a revolving door of take-out foods, and they haven't changed any of the lay-out, so I knew where to order and pick-up, etc. Really,…More »
20. Duff's Famous Wings
We got medium hot and it was hot. They've got these signs everywhere and the waitresses wear t-shirts explaining the system. Frankly, I found it annoying. Why not just call it like it is instead of wasting space explaining? Medium hot = hot? Just…More »
21. Union
Toronto, ON M6J 2Y7
(416) 850-0093
Food you must try at Union: EVERYTHING
I honestly can't narrow it down because literally every meal I have eaten at Union has been delectable.
Definitely check out brunch on Sundays. It costs the same as most brunch places but tastes way better, they…More »
