La Palette is an unassuming, dimly lit French restaurant known for its horse tenderloin (hello, what?!)

The restaurant has character inside; it really is the definition of my kind of restaurant. It's dimly lit, cozy and pretty romantic. A red brick…More »

Tucked away in what use to be a house, this is the best Thai Food I have ever eaten. Ever.

Sukho Thai prides themselves in their authenticity (which I can't comment on never having been to Thailand) but what I can comment on is their food is…More »

Take out or eat in, this place is fantastic!

Unlike the Mississauga location this location is full service. It is set up like a market with different counters preparing the different foods. The atmosphere is very casual, as are the service and…More »

Coquine is the crème de la crème of restaurants in the area for atmosphere, food and service!

Coquine has that dark cozy feel to it (my kind of restaurant)! The clientele was a trendy group, the staff extremely friendly and the food amazing,…More »

La Vecchia came on high recommendation from friends in the area and let me tell you, we were not disappointed!

I came here with a few girl friends on a Friday night and we were kept very happy all night long.

It is an absolute MUST to order the fresh cut salsa and homemade nacho chips. For $2.99 the portion is massive and they are absolutely delicious.

I see…More »

This restaurant was fantastic. I'm so glad I got a chance to try it. It's a must for everyone at some point.

There is something incredibly intimate and wonderful about sitting hip to hip with a complete stranger on either side of you. The mess hall…More »

Popped in here for lunch this week with a coworker and was quite pleased with the overall experience. They have both a small lunch menu (which still has tons of options) and a bigger menu for all the time that had too many options for a quick lunch.…More »

Wedding Venues, Shops, etc. (8)

Believe it or not, I will be attending 9 weddings this year...including my own! I've also been to several over the last few years so I'm becoming a bit of an expert on the subject.

5 Star Reviews - The Best of the Best (25)

If you haven't been, you must go. It doesn't get better than this.

30-Day-Challenge (30)

Toronto's 30 day challenge - 30 reviews in the month of October. It should be a review a day, but I fell off the bandwagon at day 22 due to a vacation to the states with little to no access to internet. I'm going to keep going anyway, just for sh*ts and giggles.

Avoid these places (6)

My 1 star reviews.

Waterloo (19)

I lived in Waterloo for four solid years during university (summers, winters, springs and falls). Here are some of the places in the city I frequented.

Don't be put off by all the 4 and 5 star reviews, I just haven't gotten around to reviewing the mediocre pubs and restaurants around the universities.

Romantic French Restaurants (3)

The very best romantic french restaurants

Best Places to go on a Date (8)

A comedy show, a music performance at a coffee shop,  a picnic with fresh cheese, an evening at a museum, or walk through a funky part of town finished with a coffee (or beer) on a patio... these are some great date ideas.

GoodLife Fitness (9)

My opinion on the GoodLife gyms around the city. I don't really have a 'home' gym, instead I work out where ever I'm closest to that day.
