1. Free Times Cafe
yum to the yum!
I LOVE their latkes and occasionally crave these deep fried potato goodies. Comes with apple sauce and smooth sour cream.
I do need to caveat emptor you, dear reader, since if you order take out, these oily round latkes, will come…More »

What a welcome addition to Kensington Market. This somewhat new eatery offers fast meals at reasonable prices. I love their vegetarian burrito at $4.99! You can have it w/ or w/out cheese, and with your choice of a potato based or tofu/cactus…More »

Thanks to the other Yelpers who typed first about this place, I went there this past week. John F, you sold it to me by first mentioning that it was 25% cheaper than most Thai restaurants. Then I think I read Craaackle S's review, the words "spring…More »

Tasty. Quick enough. Cheap (under $8. for a b*i*g serving).
Service was ok, but I came here for the quick enough bite, and for tasty food.
I couldn't tell if there was MSG, but I was thirsty afterwards (isn't that a sign?)
As a vegetarian, I was sad…More »

I've been here before but only vaguely remembered details of that order.
Today, I went there again, for lunch. I needed a grab and go one. Luckily, there wasn't a line up today, and I felt welcomed right away by one of the attendents working behind…More »

Nice, family-run? business. *Best*prices* on supplements! (so far as I know). I also like their prices on shampoos, nut butters. Have I mentioned super prices on supplements. Def. worth checking this small store out! If you like WyldWood tofu,…More »

A 3 or 3.5 star place. Higher if you love mock meats.
I used to live in this neighbourhood, and enjoyed coming here every once in a while. My favourite dish was their Teriyaki Mushroom Cutlets...
Thing is, they've changed their cutlets since. Still…More »

1-2 star busts (don't say I didn't warn ya) (8)A compilation of places that stood out for being decidedly Disappointing. |
30-day challenge businesses (14)I'll try to write 30 reviews this month. Warning: most reviews might be pregnancy related. o_o |
Best of's :) (10)I happened upon these places, sometimes by chance, and if the memory of enjoying item X strongly lingers - then there's a chance it's made this list.Best of's, in Toronto, Ottawa, and the surrounding areas... The Host - best eggplant curry; Biryani House on Wellesley - best Indian buffet; Vivoli - best minestrone; Mexican Salsas - best veg burritos; Tiffinday - best chana masala plus fragrant basmati rice combo; Bark and Meow - best pet groomer (professional, caring, experienced, confident); Delight - best grapefruit sorbet ever; Elixir - best facials. |
Colour me Multi-Ethnic /Multi-Canadian (14)If being Canadian is multiracial, multicultural, then the word "ethnic" wouldn't be used here in Canada. Yet, it still is...Anyway, just wanted to create a list of Authentic Yummy Places that I'm aware of. Places where I can pop item x into my mouth and say... Mmm... How Korean, or Mmm... How Bangledeshi... My list is by no means comprehensive. It's a starter list that I plan on adding to, incrementally. |
5 *star* wonders (3)If this service or business got a 5 from me, it's because they were *Outstanding*.Check 'em out. 'Cos a 5, is the highest score Yelpers can give! |
Guilt-free Pleasures (Places to Detox some bad things a-ways!) (7)Somehow having a tendency to be thin, and having the "unusual" diet of a vegetarian/vegan suggests to others, that I know a thing or two more than they might, about health and nutrition.My lifestyle, and what I tend to eat, is no secret. I normally cleanse 2x/year: once in the Springtime, the other time in the Fall. 1. cut out Sugars, wheat, alcohol, chocolate spec., canned foods. 2. prioritize sleep 3. practice exercise 3x week for 30 straight minutes minimum (ex: cycling, yoga, vigourous house cleaning). ~~~ Here are a list of places that I go to, for some Me-Time or to Eat Mindfully/Guilt-free: |
