1. Reposado Bar & Lounge
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z5
(416) 532-6474
Excellent selection of hard to find tequilas for Ontario. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. I live nearby, and Reposado has become the go-to spot for a drink for my husband and me. It's great in…More »
2. Crooked Star
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z7
(416) 536-7271
Category:
Dive Bars
Neighbourhoods: Little Portugal, Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
I am so glad that through the wave of hotness that has struck this street, Crooked Star still remains on Ossington, an island of laid-back normalcy in a sea of overdone hipness.
Rain or shine, summer or winter, this bar delivers. It's just got a cozy…More »
3. Ethiopian House Restaurant
I went back today and there's a lovely patio out front! As everyone says, the guy who serves you and runs the place is an absolute sweetheart. I went with a friend today who had never had Ethiopian, we split the veggie lunch and the meat lunch…More »

Italian
Neighbourhoods: Dufferin Grove, Little Portugal, Beaconsfield Village
Yum, yum, yum yum. The food here is so fresh and so delicious. We took my mom for dinner on Saturday night. Go early - we went a little before 7, no reservation, and got a table on the patio. As we were leaving at 9, people were being told a minimum…More »

Categories:
Dive Bars,
Champagne Bars
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
I really only go to Sweaty Betty's when it's patio season and then it is great! it's a small hip bar inside, but the patio is a good size and usually you can squeeze in to a seat.
Decent beer selection at reasonable prices. They have a limited menu of…More »

(416) 534-8520
Categories:
Vietnamese,
Thai
Neighbourhoods: Little Portugal, Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
I have never had anything bad at Foxley. I especially love the ceviches and am really glad they offer such a variety of them, as ceviches are hard to find in this fair city of ours. So thanks Foxley, for the ceviches last night. Yum.
Good wine list…More »
7. Volo
Toronto, ON M4Y 1Z4
(416) 928-0008
Categories:
Brasseries,
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
I really like Volo. First reason is definitely the beer. They have the best selection of cask beers I have seen. There is always a new beer to try, and the staff always makes good recommendations based on what I like, so everything I try is good! I…More »
8. Merci Mon Ami
Toronto, ON M6K 3P6
(647) 436-3832
Categories:
Restaurants,
Caterers
Neighbourhood: Liberty Village
After a lengthy wait among indifferent front-of-house staffers at nearby Mildred's, we decided we'd had enough and weren't going to take it anymore! I am glad we did, because instead we moseyed on over to Merci Mon Ami and enjoyed a reasonably…More »
9. Diner's Corner
Toronto, ON M4Y 1L8
(416) 929-7031
Category:
Caribbean
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
Great food, and reasonably priced.
Do NOT go there looking for a beautifully decorated place with a hot vibe. It is very bare bones, plastic tablecloths, and the service isn't fast. But oh! The food!
Definitely must orders: festivals (yummy dough…More »
10. The Croissant Tree
Toronto, ON M4Y 2G1
(416) 925-8379
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Breakfast & Brunch,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
I miss The Croissant Tree.
I used to go here for lunch regularly when I worked on Bloor Street and almost always got the same thing: the chicken avocado melt with side salad. There are lots of options for side salad, so that was where I would "spice…More »

Toronto, ON M4T 1Y5
(416) 960-1500
Categories:
Delis,
Sandwiches,
Pizza
Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park
Very reliable choice for a weekday lunch under $10. Just get in line at the counter and order to stay or to go.
I usually opt for the plate of assorted salads. You can choose 2-4 salads and they'll pile them on the plate for you. Salads range from…More »
12. Duggan's Brewery - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M5C 2B1
(416) 214-4900
Categories:
Gastropubs,
Breweries,
Pubs
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
I really liked Duggan's. Even thought the bartender was in the weeds when we were sitting at the bar, he was still really nice and tried his best to not make us wait. The beer is good, we got free oysters, and it's a comfortable place.
We tried a few…More »

Toronto, ON M6J
(647) 346-8448
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Trinity Bellwoods
Stopped in today around noon and it was pretty busy but there were still a couple of tables available. We ordered a couple of lattes to stay and sat down. Very shortly after they brought over two lattes with beautiful latte art. You don't often see…More »

Category:
Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
I have to give this place props for being a reliable lunch spot with really good food.
The menu is pretty varied and the food quality is WAY better than the other pub options in the neighborhood. Don't even get me started talking about crappy Jack…More »
15. Nadège Patisserie
Toronto, ON M6J 1G2
(416) 368-2009
Clafouti definitely has some competition! I tried two different croissants from Nadege and they are tasty.
The butter croissant was very good, a little crisper and not as buttery as Clafoutis, but still good. The pear and chocolate was amazing though,…More »

Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
After spending a morning participating in the fabulously fun Mystery Art Sale at the OCAD, my husband and I thought we hit up Cafe La Gaffe for brunch. It's a cute little bistro tucked on Baldwin Street, and we were craving the brunch food they…More »

Category:
Bars
Neighbourhoods: Brockton Village, Bloordale Village, Wallace Emerson
Wow. I really have to get my ass back to this place to try the food and the patio because the menu looked great and reasonable, and the patio was pretty.
I am clearly behind the times because last night marked my first visit to Three Speed and the…More »

(416) 966-3991
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
Great little lunch spot with really fresh salads and sandwiches. They have a lovely patio. A reason it's great for lunch is they move pretty quickly and don't waste your time. You can take a very civilized lunch break in a short time frame. With good…More »

One visit for lunch and I really want to go back! The choices on the menu were really fantastic - from soups to salads and sandwiches to Mexican and more - I had a hard time deciding what to order. Everyone I was with was really happy with their…More »
20. Churchill
Toronto, ON M6J
(416) 588-4900
Category:
Bars
Neighbourhoods: Dufferin Grove, Little Portugal, Beaconsfield Village
We stopped in for a drink one recent Saturday night and grabbed bar stools. It was pretty busy inside, and very busy on the patio. The drinks were good and well priced. Love the fact that a jack and coke is a few bucks less than a beer!! Bring it!

21. Banjara Indian Cuisine
Toronto, ON M6G 1L7
(416) 963-9360
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhoods: Christie Pits, Bickford Park
WOW! What took me so long to try Banjara's Indian cuisine? Well, they often do have long lines, so I guess that played a role.
I did manage to make it in and try a few different dishes and am happy I did. I will absolutely for sure no doubt about it…More »
22. Luna Cafe
Toronto, ON M6J 3C6
(416) 588-3374
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Beaconsfield Village
Good food, sloppy service.
Very busy on weekends for brunch, so definitely expect waits - not just for a table, but for your coffee and your food.
When the food arrives, it is worth the wait. The bennies and wraps I have tried have been very good,…More »
