1. Sanremo Bakery
Etobicoke, ON M8Y 2R3
(416) 255-2808
Since moving to the area last year, I've frequented San Remo when I've wanted a good lunch or some quality pastries. You can get great deli sandwiches, pizzas, and other real Italian lunches. You can also buy meats and cheeses to take home.

2. Burrito Boyz
Stopped in for a burrito yesterday, as we do often enough. The place is busy (as always), and the service was friendly. But we noticed tons of mini fruit-fly type flies buzzing around all the burrito toppings, landing in them, etc. I was quite…More »

A great option for takeout in the West end. For $5-$10, you can get a small, which is more than… Read more »
3. The Westerly
Toronto, ON M6R 2N1
(416) 551-6660
Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhoods: High Park, Roncesvalles
Had a great dinner here this week. We were on a mission for braised short ribs, and someone suggested we try the braised short ribs here.
I made a reservation, not thinking I would need it on a Monday, but we were pleasantly surprised to find the…More »
4. Monks Kettle
Stopped in here on Saturday evening for drinks with a few friends and family. It was nice to be able to stay in the neighbourhood - there aren't many pubs to choose from that have a nice atmosphere, and this one totally fit the bill. It definitely…More »
5. Perfect Nail Spa
I've been here 3 times now, and for the price (very affordable at less than $35 ), you can get a very decent manicure and pedicure. There's not a lot of pampering and love put into it, but the service is efficient.
And most importantly, the place…More »
6. Barque Smokehouse
Toronto, ON M6R 2M3
(416) 532-7700
Category:
Barbeque
Neighbourhoods: High Park, Roncesvalles
After reading that this is one of the best new brunch places of 2011, we decided to try it out this weekend. We arrived at about 12:30 pm on Sunday, and had to wait about 10 minutes to get a table for 2. The host was friendly and efficent, and kept…More »
7. Royal Meats Barbecue
After hearing some raving reviews from others in the neighbourhood, I was anxious to try this place. But sadly, I was disappointed, and found it to be vastly overrated. Driving up, I was initially impressed with the decor and cleanliness of the…More »
8. Swirls
Toronto, ON M8X
(416) 231-7774
Update: on my most recent visit, I realized that they do indeed now have some bistro tables and chairs, as well as an espresso machine. Not overwhelmingly quaint or cozy, but they are trying.
P.S. We liked the Marble cupcakes so much, we went back 2…More »

9. Easy Restaurant
Toronto, ON M6R 1A9
(416) 537-4893
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Parkdale, Roncesvalles
We've been about 5 times now, always for brunch, and are definite fans. I've tried both the Breakfast Burrito and the Huevos Divorciados, and enjoyed both. The Huevos Divorciados left me so full it hurt. My husband has tried both of those, and…More »
10. Blo Blow Dry Bar
Toronto, ON M6S 1N4
(416) 766-4400
Category:
Hair Salons
Neighbourhoods: Bloor-West Village, Swansea
I used Blo Dry Bar on Bloor for my wedding last month. My Mom, 4 bridesmaids, and I all had our hair done on the day of the wedding.
For myself, I ended up being very happy with the results. Luckily, as a bride, you are able to book a…More »
11. Gourmet Burger Company
We've eaten here a few times now, and have been very satisfied. The burgers are tasty, and seem to be very fresh. No rubber patties! The price of the burger is priced proportionately to how many toppings you like (which seams fair to me), but many…More »
12. Stonegate Farmer's Market
Etobicoke, ON M8Y 3J3
(416) 231-7070
Category:
Farmers Market
Neighbourhood: Etobicoke
We live down the street from this Farmer's Market, and the hours (4pm - 7pm on Tuesdays) is ideal for us - we can swing by on the way home from work and pick up a few things to last us the week.
Last night we checked it out for the first time this…More »
13. Mystic Pointe Yoga
I have only been to Mystic Pointe Yoga once so far, so this rating is based on one visit, which was back in the late winter/early spring.
Also, I should add that I have been going to Downward Dog for years, and have been spoiled by well-trained…More »
14. La Veranda Osteria
Tried La Veranda for the first time last night, after hearing raving reviews from friends that also live nearby.
The place was bustling when we arrived, but we got a table for 2 with no problem. But it was nice to see how busy it was! I also…More »
15. The Ace
Toronto, ON M6R 1M3
(416) 792-7729
Category:
British
Neighbourhoods: High Park, Roncesvalles
We checked out the Ace for brunch this weekend. When we arrived, there were a few couples/groups ahead of us, waiting for tables. The problem is, there's nowhere to wait. With the frigid temperatures we've been having, we were all trying to huddle…More »
16. The Grille Restaurant & Bar
Etobicoke, ON M8Z 1V1
(416) 255-7455
Categories:
Barbeque,
Greek,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Etobicoke
I've been to the Grille a fair number of times, not as my choice, but because it's the type of place my in-laws enjoy. So dinner out with them is usually here or somewhere comparable.
I don't mind the Grille for brunch. They do your typical…More »
