THIS is the real deal! A true old world butcher shop that features master butchers and some seriously high quality meat. This is an un-reconstructed establishment devoid of the pretense that has infected many similar shops - they don't need the…More »

Recently updated lists from Howard H.

Indian Eats; Sub-Continental Divide (5) This is a list of some of the many popular spots offering foods of the Indian sub-continent. Indian of various regions, Pakistani (of various regions) Sri Lankan and Bangladesh - all are well represented in the GTA so this list will inevitably keep on growing....	Cheap Eats of Bloor West (11) Budgetary constraints? Of course! Culinary constraints? Never! Here's a selection of some places to indulge in the sport of paupers - eating on the cheap.
Montreal Hotels (5) My life requires a fairly obscene amount of hotel nights per year and Montreal is one city where I enjoy spreading the love, er, sleeping around - no - wait - staying in a wide variety of establishments throughout the city. Yes, that's it. Here are some reviews of those establishments.	Tour D' Roti (5) One of the many benefits of living in the most multicultural major city on planet earth is that we are constantly spoiled for choice in thing culinary. Other big cities may have a good roti shop or two, but we have dozens, if not hundreds. Roti from the West Indies to the East Indies, from Guyana to Malaysia - they are all represented with pride here in Toronto. I am going to do my best to list the best as I discover them.
Vegan Goodness in the GTA (6) If you're vegan, or someone you care about is vegan, or circumstances compel you to include a vegan in your dining plans, this is a list of some nice spots in the GTA to enjoy a meal.
