This chub-sized sando-hole makes some slammin' fish sammiches, I tell you what. There is barely enough room in here for a Mediterranean tuna (four seats), so pray to Poseidon that the weather is fair and that you can sit outside on their lovely…More »

I've walked by Urban Herbivore many times but this was the first time I ever manned up and ordered something from Kensington Market's umpteenth vegetarian resto. With a little moral support from Ben "Mr. Halifax" B we stopped here for lunch.

  Update - 4/3/2012

I was so eminently disappointed by my last visit here, I need to update my review. I had promised a splendid fishery to a non-yelping friend based TOTGA's fairly deece rating. Now mine and Yelp's reputation is ruined. Thanks a lot guys.

It started…More »

Lookit: I've never been to Schwartz's in Montréal; and I don't want to hear any bulljive about how it's chemically impossible to infuse smoke flavour to meat west of Ottawa/Hull. I'm sure their sandwiches are good (possibly even great) but the…More »

There is nothing I cherish more than a mom-and-pop shop that's just embedded into the neighbourhood. Take a few steps south of College St and it's fully residential -- save for this place. I stopped in with some Little Italians (Nicole A, Kent P) for…More »

I don't casually use words like "palsy-walsy," so trust me when I say that the service is beyond friendly at Come And Get It. I was in here barely a femtosecond before a bearded gentleman took me by the hand (not literally) and welcomed me to a world…More »

Looking for the best meatball sandwich in Toronto? Why would you settle for anything less? Perhaps you have low self-esteem? Will this entire review be questions? What is this an improv game? Let's stop.

Tavolino is a Very Good sandwich shop at King…More »
