1. Oyster Boy
Toronto, ON M6J 1G3
(416) 534-3432
Category:
Seafood
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
This place is always good. I have to confess, everytime I come, it's for oysters only. Sometimes I get something else in addition to the oysters, and that's always been good, but it's about the oysters. What else have I had? Salad with smoked fish, I…More »
2. Queen West Animal Hospital
Toronto, ON M6J 1G5
(416) 815-8387
Category:
Veterinarians
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West
The people who work here are not only professional, they really care.
We have been visiting Queen West Vets for the past 2 years since we adopted kittens from the shelter. While our kittens were always nervous to be there, the vets and all the staff…More »
3. Clafouti Patisserie & Café
Toronto, ON M6J 1G5
(416) 603-1935
Clafouti has the best crossaints in Toronto, bar none. They are so popular, you have to get there early on a weekend if you want a choice, but whatever you choose, know it will be delicious. I have tried the raspberry, butter and fig crossaints and…More »
4. Lady Mosquito
Toronto, ON M6J 1H6
(647) 344-3266
Categories:
Jewellery,
Accessories
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, West Queen West, Beaconsfield Village
This store sells really beautiful and original jewelry and handbags from Peru. The owners of the store are lovely and they'll let you try on anything and give you suggestions and time to decide. All the product is on the website, but I recommend…More »
5. Fresh Collective
Toronto, ON M6J 1E7
(416) 594-1313
Categories:
Accessories,
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
I am a big fan of the dresses and skirts in this store, and always stop in when I am walking on that strip of West Queen West.
Love the fact that everything is made by locals, and that you can meet the designers because they work there!
Reasonable…More »
6. Tom's Family Restaurant
Toronto, ON M6J 1H1
(416) 535-4955
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Diners
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
This place is around the corner from me, and I have always been hesitant to try it. Stupid me! Just because it's across the street from the CAMH, and there are sometimes suspicious people outside, I avoided trying an excellent diner. Well, no more.

7. The Double Deuce
Toronto, ON M6J 1J5
(416) 537-1313
Category:
Dive Bars
Neighbourhoods: West Queen West, Beaconsfield Village
I really like this place. It has the exact kind of relaxed vibe I like in a local. It's warm and cozy and the awesome art deco massive Cocktail BAR sign in the front is visually arresting and adds to the cool factor.
The music they play is also very…More »
8. Preloved
Toronto, ON M6J 1G5
(416) 504-8704
Category:
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West
ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE CLOTHES! The staff is lovely too. I was just there. OK sure, not everything in the store fits me but I really found the styles contemporary, flattering and the quality very high. Considering I had been in about 6 stores around the…More »
9. Balisi
Toronto, ON M6J 1E6
(416) 203-2388
Category:
Shoe Stores
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
I can't imagine going to Balisi and not buying anything. I mean, the shoes are unique and original and they have a good selection for a boutique. Plus, you can't forget the accessories! Rings and other jewelry are scattered around the store like…More »
10. OddFellows - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M6J 1G6
(416) 534-5244
Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
Even with a late dinner reservation, our party of 7 still had to wait a bit for room at the table, (and there was one group that hadn't finished eating when we arrived and loitered for at least an hour after!) but other than that, the place was…More »
11. Cream Tangerine Gallery and Cafe
Toronto, ON M6J
(416) 301-6038
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Bakeries
Neighbourhoods: West Queen West, Beaconsfield Village
This is a casual and comfortable place to enjoy a coffee while reading your book or the paper. They have nice art on the walls and a varied program of events. On Sunday mornings there is a walk-in yoga class focused on alignment. I didn't take the…More »
12. 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 »
13. Lafayette Bistro
Toronto, ON M6J 1G8
(647) 351-0803
Category:
French
Neighbourhoods: West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
I always wonder how people go to places that only warrant 1 star reviews. Now I know. And let's say, BrianS and I took one for the team last night. We went to Lafayette Bistro so you won't have to.
The interior is quite nice and the server was funny…More »
14. The Roy Public House
Great burger!! Bacon cheeseburger was awesome!
Went today after a cross-town bike ride and was feeling hungry but didn't want to sit out in the sun. The cool confines of The Roy pub were ideal, and they had $4 bloody ceasars!
It wasn't too busy, so…More »
15. Parts & Labour
Toronto, ON M6R 1A3
(416) 588-7750
Categories:
Bars,
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhood: Parkdale
The food here is really good, but the vibe was wrong for me. And in a place where you're sitting at long tables, sharing with strangers, the vibe is important.
By vibe, I don't mean decor. The decor was cool. Very similar to Oddfellows, which makes…More »
16. Bar One Trattoria - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M6J 1G6
(416) 535-1655
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Italian
Neighbourhoods: West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
I have to give Bar One a 5 star review, because I've been here a lot and always loved everything about it!
I love sitting on the front patio, the back patio and at the bar. The shared tables aren't my fave, but one time I was only a couple feet away…More »
17. Gladstone Hotel
Toronto, ON M6J 1J6
(416) 531-4635
I am a huge fan of the Gladstone. The Melody Bar hosts wonderful free concerts in the evening, and the karaoke is a laugh riot! The food in the restaurant is incredible and seasonal. I have been to many shows in the back room - NXNE, comedy, you name…More »
18. Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art
Toronto, ON M6J 1G8
(416) 395-0067
Category:
Art Galleries
Neighbourhoods: West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
I am a fan of MOCCA! It's just the right size for a drop-in weekend visit - it'll take you less than an hour to absorb the exhibit, and it's the perfect price too! (PWYC)
The location is great - right in the heart of West Queen West's nightlife,…More »
19. Mother India
Ever since I had a roti here, no other roti has topped it. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on where you live, I don't happen to be in PArkdale very often, so I haven't had one in a while, but I still think about it. Seriously, it's that…More »
20. Vinny Massimo's Pizza & Pasta
Toronto, ON M6J
(416) 967-0527
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhoods: West Queen West, Beaconsfield Village
I was disappointed. The server was surly and lazy. The selection was pretty weak. The pizza was barely warm because the lazy surly server barely re-heated it. Plus, the price was ludicrous! $4 for a slice??? At Pizzaoilio they give you twice the…More »
21. The Great Hall
Toronto, ON M6J 1H3
(416) 537-0803
Category:
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhoods: West Queen West, Beaconsfield Village
The best thing about shows at the Great Hall is they are almost never packed!
In the last 2 years, I have gone to the Great Hall for the following shows/events: X as part of NXNE, J Mascis and Luke Doucet for the Sleepwalk Guitar Festival, Martha…More »
22. Nunu Ethiopian Fusion
Toronto, ON M6J 2J5
(647) 351-6868
Category:
Ethiopian
Neighbourhoods: West Queen West, Beaconsfield Village
Really good food, nice people.
The decor leaves a bit to be desired. When you walk in it looks quite stark and plain, but it's more cozy than it looks.
The food is delicious, but if you are looking for an authentic experience, you won't get it here,…More »
