Why would you ever go to Subway when you have the best pita joint in Scarborough close by? This is health fast food at it's best.

I would know, I love Pitas and I work in the area so I've done my fair share of checking around. They make a great lunch…More »

A roti is essentially a hardy flour pancake wrapped around a curry dish which can include chicken, chickpeas (on the menu as channa), goat, etc.

It's not exactly a healthy lunch but it is definitely filling and delicious! By filling I mean heavy,…More »

In my opinion Milestones is a pretty decent chain with some pretty decent food. The restaurant is a step up from the Kelsey's of the world, in line with Moxie's but without all the scantily dressed female servers. (Which may or may not be a bad thing…More »

If you're heading to Jack Astors for a meal, you probably already know what to expect. Young inexperienced wait staff and cooks, run of the mill chain restaurant atmosphere, very standard food, and brown paper table clothes.

This place is no…More »

Let me start this by saying, I like subway. It's cheap, it's healthy enough and it's quick. A nice fast food option in my opinion.

This location however, I do not like. I work in the area so this place is convenient but I strongly dislike one of the…More »

This place is cheap and dirty.

My work comes here for breakfast 3 times a year and the place always leaves me feeling sick to my stomach. I don't think it's food poisoning but a normal person cannot handle that much grease. After learning my lesson a…More »

I ordered takeout from Belaggios with a bunch of coworkers for lunch. One of them lives nearby and was saying how great the place was. Their veal sandwiches (aptly called: 'veal on a bun') are the way to go. Unfortunately I didn't realize this until…More »

Take this review for what it's worth, I've only been here once and ordered just one dish so this review is really based on a first impression at this point.

Makkah is a takeout spot. It's hidden in a tiny little strip mall in a less than affluent…More »

Holy cheap lunch batman!

This place is full of inexpensive and tasty indian food. The small curries are $2.49 and enough to fill you up, one naan is less than a dollar (and portion wise more like two naans).

There are tons of options.

This really is a…More »

Competing with Boston Pizza next door this is just another Kelsey's sitting in the parking lot of a box store strip mall in the suburbs (can you hear the lack of enthusiasm in my voice?)

They have a patio for the summer, and the food is exactly what…More »

Keep in mind, you're in Scarborough, there aren't a lot of ritzy independent pizza joints to try like there are in Toronto's Little Italy or Corsa Italia so if you're craving pizza and in the area, this just may be the option.

This Boston Pizza is…More »

A tiny Carribean jerk chicken joint located in a gas station parking lot that does take-out and catering?! You don't really go into this place with high expectations.

Surprise surprise though, it actually serves some pretty fresh tasty food.

They have…More »

Hot Eats?  Skip them.
Cool Treats? YES, PLEASE!

For those of you not versed in Diary Queen lingo, 'Hot Eats' refers to their burgers, fries, etc. You know, normal fast food junk. Skip it, it's pretty gross and definitely not what keeps them in…More »

This Tim Hortons is located on the main floor of this office building (The Yellow Pages building you can see from the 401). It's just a little counter with a cafeteria beside it that sells lunches.

Most of their business is office people looking for…More »

Believe it or not, I will be attending 9 weddings this year...including my own! I've also been to several over the last few years so I'm becoming a bit of an expert on the subject.

If you haven't been, you must go. It doesn't get better than this.

30-Day-Challenge (30)

Toronto's 30 day challenge - 30 reviews in the month of October. It should be a review a day, but I fell off the bandwagon at day 22 due to a vacation to the states with little to no access to internet. I'm going to keep going anyway, just for sh*ts and giggles.

My 1 star reviews.

Waterloo (19)

I lived in Waterloo for four solid years during university (summers, winters, springs and falls). Here are some of the places in the city I frequented.

Don't be put off by all the 4 and 5 star reviews, I just haven't gotten around to reviewing the mediocre pubs and restaurants around the universities.

The very best romantic french restaurants

Best Places to go on a Date (8)

A comedy show, a music performance at a coffee shop,  a picnic with fresh cheese, an evening at a museum, or walk through a funky part of town finished with a coffee (or beer) on a patio... these are some great date ideas.

GoodLife Fitness (9)

My opinion on the GoodLife gyms around the city. I don't really have a 'home' gym, instead I work out where ever I'm closest to that day.
