I would have given the place a 4 star but some poor communication, I had to minus 1.

2. Queen Mother Cafe
Toronto, ON M5V 1Z2
(416) 598-4719
Categories:
Asian Fusion,
Thai
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
When I discovered this place it became my new pre-club, pre-theatre restaurant venue. (the old was was the brasserie which unfortunately closed down and is now a Jack Astors).
I love that the place has character, and this unique feel. Inside, it's…More »
3. Negroni - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M6G 1A4
(416) 413-0005
Categories:
Sandwiches,
Italian
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Palmerston
After hearing so much about Negroni from fellow Yelpers, I was pleasently surprised that it was quiet during Taste of Little Italy. It was the perfect place to sit and have a meal and escape the crowds. The big windows were open and we could enjoy…More »

Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
I've always been a huge fan of this establishment. The other day, I came here for dinner instead of my usual brunch. The food was good, and more unique than your typical Canadian fare. It was a great place to catch up with an old friend. I have to…More »

Came back for Brunch this weekend, and I was just as satisfied as the first time. That includes the… Read more »
5. 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 »
6. Owl of Minerva
Toronto, ON M5T 3A5
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Chinatown, Downtown Core
After happy hour Karaoke, this was a nice place to come eat and not have to brave the cold winds outside the mall.
They've expanded the last time I've been here, and the open space is nice.
We were greeted by the owner and he was very friendly.
They…More »

Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Palmerston, Bickford Park
That's a lot of reviews. Here's to add to the pile.
YUM.
The food is great. I came here many years ago and I remember it was the best bimbimbap I've ever had. I'm glad I could come again to try, and it still stands.
As for the Soon Tofu. Not the best…More »
8. The Corner Place
Toronto, ON M5C
(416) 850-1738
Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: Corktown, St. Lawrence, Downtown Core
Okay, this place is NOT $$$$ that really threw me off until I got closer and looked at the menu. It's $$
Great prices, and good food. They have a nice patio too.
We got the special sizzling plate of steaks for $13 comes with broccoli (they seem have…More »
9. Asian Legend
Toronto, ON M5T 1G7
(416) 977-3909
Category:
Dim Sum
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Downtown Core
The food is good. It's pretty standard Shanghai-nese food with dim sum, and main dishes and dessert.
I like that the quality stays thru all the locations and it's very standardized.
Service wise, it's a chinese restaurant. We don't have type for…More »
10. Ding Tai Fung
yum. Good prices, good food.
On a rainy sunday evening, the wait wasn't too long for a table.
They have 3 different kinds of xiao long baos, and they were super fresh and warm, full of juices.
All kinds of shanghainese dim sum, and other main plates.…More »
11. Guu Izakaya
Toronto, ON M5B
(416) 977-0999
Categories:
Japanese,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Okay except for the long wait time (still?!) the place still lives up to it's quality even after about 2 years since opening.
After thinking that I was going to the other location, I was little disappointed (only at first!) My last experience here…More »

12. Le Sélect Bistro
Wow, I"m surprised I haven't written a review about this yet, but let me preface it by saying that I haven't been since last summer, but it has always been a favourite since I discovered it at least 5 years ago.
It's a real bistro atmosphere, even…More »
13. Seor Ak San
Toronto, ON M5T
(416) 977-2788
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
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.
I came here…More »
14. 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 »
