1. Blacktree
Whew. Back to 5 stars, with yet another great meal.
Bacon-wrapped calf brains and foie gras terrine for starts and both impeccable. Mains of Cardamum hen and Nori tuna, both served with seasonal root veggies.
Service was outstanding - including a…More »

Another fantastic meal. Service was a little "off" tonight but the place was packed more than I've… Read more »
2. Langdon Hall
Just confirmed what I already knew. Beautiful place. Great grounds for strolling around. Bed & Breakfast, fine dining restaurant, wine tastings, etc.
Rooms are huge with old school trimmings with working fireplaces.
The interior of the main house…More »

Wow. Decadence.
I've visited here a couple times (both times with the good luck of having gift… Read more »
3. Amuse-Bouche Restaurant - CLOSED
It's been a while since I've visited this spot, but I find it a charming little place.
Lovely duck and beef dishes, but the fish here is delectable (I won't normally eat fish in a resto, as I'd rather cook it myself and screw up than let someone else…More »

Another fantastic meal. Tried the Calamari to start and Lamb T-Bone with ravioli. The starter was good - seasoned very well with a light broth. Entree - The best lamb I've ever had (sorry, mum). Perfectly cooked, the right amount of pink showing.…More »

Oleg is my new best friend.
Came in here for some foie gras. Left with foie gras, homemade lobster bisque, a rabbit paté, cured bison and a duck breast.
Told him about a cheese I tried recently and he took my name and phone #, saying he would try to…More »

I am a Foie Gras whore. There, I said it.

6. Character's Restaurant
It's been a while since I've been to Character's and I SWEAR the next time I go, I will have some of that bloody Glenfiddich.
Managed to get the Shaft...apparently that's a good thing but I felt a little claustrophobic, so we only closed the doors a…More »
7. Just An Olde Fashion Butchery and Seafood
Great place to find the stuff not available in grocery stores. Much better quality as well.
Sushi grade tuna steaks I ordered had to be close to an 1.5 inches thick. The prices reflect the quality and lets just leave it at that. Nice cuts of beef,…More »

I really dug the food here. We were lucky enough to score a 10 person table last minute facing the acid-trippy waterfall.
Charcuterie board was excellent and I would not share the foie gras, using a dull knife in sweeping motions to fend people off.
I…More »

Ate here with the in-laws.
Shared the large charcuterie - verrrrrry thin slices of a few meats; tasty but too small for more than two to share.
I loved my burger, as I got to have it rare. The rest of us enjoyed as well. Nice wine list too.
10. N9NE Steakhouse
***3.5 Stars***
We hit N9ne prior to schmoozing in the Playboy club.
I was blown away how empty the place was, but we were happy to get in from booking last minute. The place was really, really dark. I like ambiance but when I have to squint to see…More »
11. On the Fork Restaurant and Lounge
Good eats. Be prepared to pay, however. Went to uni in London and therefore, never came close to eating here.
No offense to the City of London, but I was surprised by the clientelle of this establishment; I didn't know people over the age of 35 lived…More »
12. Rao's
Had fantastic time. Staff knew their stuff and were very attentive to our needs (we brought a non-eater of meat).
Portions were huge - had to forego appetizers. From the photo I've provided, you can see my buddy's order of the Veal Chop. It was the…More »

The only reason I found out about this place was when I was tricked in to running a 5km race for work on the waterfront down in Burlington. I no longer work for that company.
Awesome space to look at from the exterior, as it is all windows. The…More »

Recommended by several friends. Came fairly early and still had a 1/2 hour wait for a table.
This place is pretty freaking great. Fantastic assortment of lagers/ales while waiting.
Wife had the ricotta gnudi - Jeebus it was incredible. I had the…More »
15. Whole Foods Market
Great place to visit if you can't find the fancy-schmancy ingredients you need when making something at home.
Don't want to cook at home? Their many sangwitches are all tasty. They make a few pizza pies too, but I didn't find them very good for the…More »

It rubs the lotion on it's skin... (10)Places where men can go to get their pretty on....creepy List Name, huh?! |
Skip these if given a choice. (10)Lets keep this one basic - a list of places that I would now have to bribed somewhat to even think about returning. No joke. |
Great, but (10)Here's a list of fantastic places that just aren't quite "there" yet. |
Good places to help you dress like a Man (8)Well, if I can't act like one, at least I can fool some of you by dressing like one. |
Fine Dining Establishments (8)Hey, because I'm pretentious like that!Places I've frequently visited (and in turn either sold my first born, or a kidney). |
The Best of Oakvegas (15)For those brave enough to venture forth into what was the Original Cottage-Country, Oakville has some of the best establishments around. |
French Places (20)I've always had a fetish for French eateries. Full-fledged restos, bistros or boites - it doesn't matter. I'm just getting around to as many as possible. But cut me some slack; I'm on the case and I'm going as fast as my lazy ass can.Maybe it's b/c I judge everyone / everything and generally think I'm better than everyone else. It's the frenchie in me! |
French Places, not in France, but in the GTA (16)I'm on a mission to get to as many Good French place in Ontario as possible before I need a bigger pant size. Here's the list so far. |
Everybody go Hotel, Motel, Holiday Inn (10)Places to stay while away. No, they don't do "hourly". |
Helloooooo love, would you like a sweetie? (7)K, that came off as creepy rather than Mrs. Doubtfire-ish.These are place to grab something for your sweet set of teeth. |
