Hey everyone, what's for lunch? Come on over to Yasi's Place for your next nosh! "Yasi" sounds like the name of your local baker or sandwich maker and the atmosphere is really neighbourhood-y and welcoming. They serve brunch on weekends and Mondays…More »

11/30/2009

"Feel good during and after eating" - that's Camros Organic Eatery's motto. Think about that for a second.

Right? So many times we gorge ourselves on food only to feel uncomfortably bloated and unwell afterwards. If not immediately, then within a few…More »

Kumquat. In my fruit salad. KUMQUAT!! Such a weird word (and an odd-looking fruit), yet there it was, staring me in the face perched atop a bunch of other tropical fruits in my badass side salad. Karine's does not screw around when it comes to sides,…More »

Categories: Sandwiches, Middle Eastern

Neighbourhoods: Corktown, Downtown Core

2/18/2010

Probably the quirkiest and most unique lunch spot in Toronto, from the perplexing exterior signage ("world's best apple cake: must be legal eating age and never convicted for a slice"**) to the zany witticisms inscribed on the walls for your…More »

Brace yourselves, hipsters: contrary to the recent press explosion, this place didn't actually just open. It's been around since October 2009.

Yep, all the sandwiches are named after Wilco songs and there are Wilco posters on the wall. But this isn't…More »

You know, I never thought I'd fall in love with another man named Neil, but here we are. Negroni Neil (server) is terrific and when I visit and see that he's working, I'm downright thrilled. He's attentive, courteous and instantly likable, and the…More »

Category: Diners

Neighbourhood: Leslieville

7/12/2010

Call me crazy, but I like my food to be a little underdone**. Give me unripe nectarines, underripe bananas and barely browned toast anyday. And especially give me only lightly fried french toast, like the kind I enjoyed the shit out of today at the…More »

How have I never reviewed this place?? This morning when I visited I was desperately trying to remember if I liked the homefries here or thought they were "meh" so I looked up my own review for reference, and there wasn't one, so here we go: for…More »
