Smashing sammich shop in Christie Pits. I strolled in around lunchtime on a Friday to find the place packed with gritty locals eagerly awaiting their eats. The entire restaurant isn't bigger than the inside of a moving van, and you probably couldn't…More »

It was a diminutive sandwich board on King Street that pointed me in the direction of Jimmy's.  It's a wee squeeze of a place that at 10 am was busier than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest. A dim room in the back is more chill, which some…More »

  Update - 1/6/2011

Finally got  around to grabbing lunch at Negroni. After a brief chat with the waitress about my cardigan (a show-stopping piece of attire for sure), I jumped into a potato and leek soup and a mushroom risotto.

I was non-plussed by the risotto. It was…More »

Diminutive deli serving the local lunch crowd. Daily specials are posted on a sandwich board and offer variety to a mind boggling degree. The diverse menu includes sandwiches, wraps, curries, chili, pub fare, and pastas. Pretty decent selections and…More »

Sandwiched is a Christmas-coloured sando-hole at the corner of Church and Granby just steps from Bulldog Coffee,  Their claim to fame is an idea really: throw french fries into all the sammiches. Period. I like this idea, and therefore walked in.

A-OK café in the base of the Bond Place Hotel. If you enter from the Dundas street doors, pass the front desk and head straight back towards the white tiled area. There is quite a bit of seating, with plenty of tables and booths, and a lounge area…More »

Neighbourhood: Brockton Village

3.0 star rating
  Update - 2/3/2011

So I returned for mock pork with the esteemed Crystal H; it was definitely a strange experience. As per usual there was no one else in the gigantic space. We were waved to a table by a young girl clearly filling a familial obligation, that is to say,…More »

My experience at this King Street bistro was akin to unleashing a greased otter on a ski slope, i.e., going downhill and fast. I grabbed a seat at the bar on Saturday morning, hoping for a quick breakfast. What I got was a schmozzle.

Not feeling like…More »

It was the promise of $3.50 breakfasts that lured me into this curiously-named joint across from the Sheridan Mall on Erin Mills Parkway. Sharing a plaza with Swiss Chalet, Chef At Your Hands is an all-day-breakfast spot that also features weekend…More »
