1. The Painted Lady
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z8
Category:
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Little Portugal, Ossington Strip, Beaconsfield Village
There is something about a good neighbourhood bar that makes you feel comfortable. Good food, decent entertainment and a very inviting staff, as well as clients. This place has all of the above.
There is music in the back here many nights a week, and…More »
2. Reposado Bar & Lounge
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z5
(416) 532-6474
Great little tequila bar in the heart of the new ossington strip. This place was one of the original places on the street. The atmosphere is great, set by both a good staff and owners, as well as the decor. They have a good patio at the back which is…More »
3. Levack Block
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z4

Categories:
Bars,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
This is a place i don't quite understand. I mean it's good, but I don't get why it's all the rave with the kids. Yep offers these descriptions above and the 2 stars "meh, I've experienced better" describes this place perfectly. I've both eaten there,…More »
4. Crooked Star

Category:
Dive Bars
Neighbourhoods: Little Portugal, Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
This is a good place. Very relaxed and casual. I'm not sure I'm really excited to have food here. I've seen people eating but it doesn't excite me to try the food - just not the kind of palce for that.
I like the prices, and it's nice to sit outside…More »
5. Opera Bob's Public House
Toronto, ON M6J
(416) 536-5585
Category:
Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Little Portugal, Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods
This place is the local 'pub'. Yes, we have the Crooked Star close, and the Communist's Daughter, but they aren't really 'pubs' in the same way that this place is.
One of the missing pieces of this neighbourhood was a place to watch NFL, or a hockey…More »
6. Watusi
Toronto, ON M6J
(416) 533-1800
Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
This is one of my local favourites. Just down the street, with good enough food for dinner, and good enough drinks and a great atmosphere for hanging out and getting drunk on the cocktails. The music is good too, although at times it can get loud…More »
7. Julie's Cuban Restaurant
Toronto, ON M6J 3C8
(416) 532-7397
Category:
Cuban
Neighbourhood: Beaconsfield Village
When we first moved in to the nieghbourhood this was one of the only places to go. The food is good and the service is really nice. Last night we visited again, and Sylvia, the owner, who's been running the place for 14 years, was there. A whole…More »
8. Enoteca Sociale
Toronto, ON M6J 1X7
(416) 534-1200
Category:
Italian
Neighbourhoods: Dufferin Grove, Little Portugal, Beaconsfield Village
About a month ago we ate on the patio of Enoteca and loved it. Although we had to wait about an hour or so (we did a walk-in) we live close by so went home and waited until we go the call. The staff were very friendly and almost all the dishes were…More »

Categories:
Dive Bars,
Champagne Bars
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
There's a whole lot of reasons to love this little Ossington dive bar. It was one of the street firsts - they were here before anyone else figured out how great this neighbourhood is. (or maybe the made this neighbourhood great). They also have a…More »
10. Communist's Daughter

Bars
Neighbourhoods: Little Portugal, Ossington Strip, Beaconsfield Village
One of the best bars in the city, if not the best! It's small, quaint, cozy, sometimes too crowded, but always has such a local, authentic field with great staff.
It's worth checking Michael J play from 4-7 on Saturday nights. He does double duty as…More »

Toronto, ON M6J 2Z6
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods
Yes, i'm a fan. I live right near the Ossington strip and it's nice now to have somewhere else to go apart from Ideal. Like this morning... I go into Ideal, and there's a big line, and it's not moving quickly because there's only one person there,…More »

Update! Looks like WiFi has finally arrived to Ideal! Yay! Go there now that they have some internet, rather than using the rocket stick

Neighbourhoods: Dufferin Grove, Little Italy, Little Portugal, Ossington Strip
This is THE music venue of the city. It's such a great ambiance, and the bands are great that are booked here. Some of the best nights to go are Sundays and Tuesdays are regulars, from the Beauties on Sunday to this month having Jason Collett doing a…More »

Neighbourhoods: Dufferin Grove, Little Portugal, Ossington Strip, Beaconsfield Village
I'm a fan of the neighbourhood portuguese places. Nova Era falls into this category. While rebuilding by house I was always there getting their famous Tosta Mista (a ham and cheese sandwich toasted) for only $4. You could walk in and out of there…More »
