1/16/2011

Since my visit to NOPA in San Francisco, I've been dying to find a spot with a similar vibe in Toronto. I think I've found it. About halfway up the Ossington strip is the umlautted Böhmer restaurant. A former garage turned fine resto, it's spartan…More »

Update - 1/30/2012

Gotta jack up the star power after my second visit here. A night at Yours Truly really is as good as it gets. I attended a UYE (Unofficial Yelp Event) helmed by yelper Susan G and it was a heckuva night. Great drinks, amazing convivial atmosphere and…More »

Clever name, right? Yours Truly is a trendy, well-decorated space befitting the Ossington Strip. It… Read more »

135 Ossington Ave
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z6
Canada

Category: Coffee & Tea

Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods

OMG this Ossington spot is beautiful. Hardwood floors, large reclaimed wood planks on the walls and lots of sunlight in an airy enjoyable café. This spartan space is beautifully laid out. There is a communal table flanked by folding chairs, a few…More »

Category: Cuban

Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village

Strolled into Delux on a lazy Saturday afternoon around 2pm. The place was mostly empty so we grabbed a quiet corner booth. Loathe as I am to use a word like "chill" this place does have a chill vibe, with slate grey booths, whitewashed walls, and…More »

5. The Ossington

61 Ossington Ave
Toronto, ON M6J 2Y9
Canada

Category: Dive Bars

Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village

4/4/2011

I've been to The Ossington a few times now. The mood of this Ossington Ave bar changes dramatically based on the crowd. (Did I need to mention this bar is on Ossington? Whatever.) On nights like Saturday there is a DJ pumping gratuitous beats while…More »

Toronto, ON M6J 1X2
Canada
(416) 535-2828

Categories: Diners, Canadian (New)

Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Little Portugal, Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods

6/16/2011

The Lakeview is a 24-hour diner at Dundas and Ossington. They serve all day breakfast, brunch from 9-5, sandwiches, burgers and confusingly inexpensive cocktails. Though you might be tempted to sample their 2007 Flat Rock Reisling (you won't really),…More »

Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village

6/22/2011

You'd think two elite yelpers like Steph C and I would know to check the hours on Yelp before setting off for dinner. Sheesh. After standing outside our first -- and closed -- choice with our jaws agape and our eyes slightly misty (dust or something)…More »

Category: Bars

Neighbourhoods: Little Portugal, Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village

1/9/2012 First to Review

While most other bars on the Ossington Strip were packed on Saturday night, it was telling that OurHouse had the ventilated feel of an art gallery or the Parthenon. Not a lot of crowds; not a tonne of fun.

OurHouse skews on the nightclub side of…More »

Toronto, ON M6J 3C8
Canada
(416) 532-7397

Category: Cuban

Neighbourhood: Beaconsfield Village

5/24/2011

It's a bad sign when the highlight of your visit is the kick-ass parking spot you snagged right out front.

Julie's is one of those residental chameleons, tucked away at the corner of Foxley and Dovercourt. You might even miss it as you walk by, it…More »
