My ROTD

See All Lists
It is a mystery to me how these are selected but already being a Yelper when the site launched in Toronto certainly helped me out!

 1. Awtash Cafe

419 College St

Categories: Persian/Iranian, Fast Food

Neighbourhood: Kensington Market

  6/29/2010 ROTD 7/25/2010 First to Review

Awtash Cafe opened just a few days ago and I am so delighted! It's close enough, and good enough, to become a regular lunch hour destination for me.

I have a decent imagination but I cannot comprehend how Awtash Cafe used to be that somewhat dive-y…More »

Category: Japanese

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

5.0 star rating
  7/1/2009 ROTD 11/19/2009

Guess what: California rolls are not real Japanese food. Neither is sushi pizza or dragon rolls. Chicken or beef teriyaki is also not actually Japanese (authentic teriyaki is for broiled fish).

What is very authentic Japanese is the menu, the decor,…More »

Since the topic of tailoring and clothing alteration came up in the forum recently, I thought I'd put a word in for Cherie. That word is 'awesome'.

You'll find Cherie in her sewing studio on the second floor of one of the Mirvish Village row houses.…More »

I have crossed half the city by streetcar just to satisfy my cravings for Sweet Bliss' cupcakes. The icing has the perfect texture, thick and sugary but yielding, while the cake is light and flavourful. The chocolate ones are particularly…More »

Tibet Cafe is such a sweet, cozy little place. I wish it was a few blocks closer to my office so that I could spend more of my lunch hours there.

The menu has everything: Tibetan favourites are alongside fruit smoothies, all day breakfast, burgers,…More »

Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core

4.0 star rating
  7/31/2009 ROTD 9/2/2009

A guy I was briefly dating brought me to Smokeless Joe's twice. I loved the place despite the narrow, underground setting. It was very merry on a busy Saturday night and chill on a quiet Sunday afternoon. The long and interesting beer menu made me…More »

Category: Creperies

Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park

3.0 star rating
  8/12/2008 ROTD 4/8/2009 First to Review

I Feel Like Crepe is an unpredictable experience. I've had warm, fresh Nutella and strawberry crepes that could not have been more delicious - I wanted to lick my plate clean. I've also been served cold, gluggy, flavourless ham and cheese crepes that…More »
