1. Food Basics Food Stores
I think people need to realize that there is an inverse relationship between grocery store prices and grocery store opulence. If you want to go somewhere that has glistening clean floors and perfectly manicured isles go to Longo's or Pusateri's and…More »
2. Great Burger Kitchen
I agree with the majority of the other reviewers. The food is just kind of decent and the prices are punitive. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here, but if you happen to be in the neighbourhood it's worth checking out (actually, if you're in the…More »
3. Bennett Cleaners
Toronto, ON M4M 1Z7
(416) 406-0662
Category:
Dry Cleaning & Laundry
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
This dry cleaner is completely middle of the road. Their prices are about average, which is probably higher than I would have expected given the location. They are open from about 7:30 am to 6 pm Monday to Saturday. That's not late enough in the…More »
4. Advance Optical
Toronto, ON M4M 1Z3
(416) 469-1931
Category:
Eyewear & Opticians
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
There are a number of Advance Opticals listed on Yelp, so evidently it's a chain of some kind. I have never been to any of the others so I have no idea how this Advance compares to its brethren.
This place is a bit of a surprise given that it's…More »
5. East York Curling Club
East York, ON M4C 2W7
(416) 396-2816
Category:
Sports Clubs
Neighbourhood: East York
$13 pitchers of Sleeman and bottles of domestic for under $4 are both wins. Coffee is only available from a machine and I am told it's pretty terrible (as I am not a coffee drinker I cannot attest to this). The food is hockey arena type stuff, lots…More »
6. Quad East
I have been to Quad East an additional four or five times since my original review because of circumstances that allowed me to attend at a reduced rate.
I still think that the price is excessive and, I would have thought, uncompetitive in the market.…More »

7. The Home Depot Canada
Toronto, ON M4M 3G6
(416) 462-6270
Categories:
Nurseries & Gardening,
Hardware Stores
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
This Home Depot is not your parents Home Depot (assuming your parents live in the suburbs that is), as it's not a massive warehouse in a power centre where the next closest hardware store is the Rona across the parking lot or the Canadian Tire across…More »
8. Zellers
Toronto, ON M4M 3G6
(416) 466-2103
Category:
Department Stores
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
I have decided to give Zellers an additional star for two reasons. The first is that I did the first review early on in my Yelping career and now that I have a more refined review palate I feel I was overly harsh. The second reason is that they…More »

9. Lady Marmalade
Toronto, ON M4M 1J3
(647) 351-7645
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Italian
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
Went to Lady Marmalade for my third time this morning. It's pretty good and of a high quality, but there is an emphasis on Mexican style dishes, which is fine if you like black or brown beans (I do not). As such, there is a lack of options to get…More »
10. 241 Pizza
I noticed that there are a lot of reviews for various 241 Pizzas, but none for the location on Gerrard. My above ranking is for this particular location and not for the chain as a whole.
I live about 300m from this 241 and go there frequently. Their…More »
11. Bow Thai Restaurant
I thought that the food here was pretty good, pretty authentic, and the prices are really good. The atmosphere is pretty hurting though, when I was there it was myself and Nicole M. as the only patrons in the restaurant for about half an hour or…More »
12. Square-Boy Drive-In
Toronto, ON M4J 1L8
(416) 461-2571
The only thing keeping me from giving Square-Boy a 5 is that it takes a loooooong time to get your food. Also, it is beyond me why anyone would get a burger there (not that I have ever had one), I'm sure they are fine but you can get burger…More »
13. Casa Sushi
Toronto, ON M4K 1P1
(416) 916-4388
Category:
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhoods: Greektown, Riverdale
When I first moved from Queen and John to the east end I struggled to find a decent/cheap sushi place to replace Sushi Queen. Well I have had success with Casa Sushi. You get huge portions for a low price and the delivery is very reliable. The…More »
14. Black Photo Corporation
Toronto, ON M4L 1J4
(416) 690-4077
Categories:
Hobby Shops,
Photography Stores & Services
Neighbourhood: The Beach
In the usual Christmas eve day rush I realized that I needed to get a present for my grandparents so I sent 4 photos to Black's online for one hour finishing. I arrived 2 hours later only to be told that not only weren't the pictures ready, but they…More »
15. The Bone House
The Bone House looks like the kind of place that you would get only the most expensive pet (read: dog) related items. That is not the case. The stuff they sell is definitely on the higher end quality-wise, but the prices are totally reasonable.
I…More »
16. Frankly Eatery
Toronto, ON M4M 1K9
(647) 350-1611
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
I thought the food here was good. It is unique because it has this Indian fusion aspect, so if you are looking for straight up bacon and eggs I would go elsewhere. I had the ricotta and pesto scramble with prosciutto, which comes with a mixed green…More »
17. Joy Bistro Bar
Toronto, ON M4M 1J3
(416) 465-8855
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Canadian (New),
Wine Bars
Neighbourhood: Riverdale
The only real reason to go to Joy Bistro is the patio. It's an ideal place to have a beer on a nice day. If you elect to order food to go with your patio beer the experience will be diminished as the food is boring, bland and not inexpensive. Never…More »
18. Ed's Real Scoop
Toronto, ON M4M 1J5
(416) 406-2525
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
Ed's is definitely the best place for ice cream/gelato in the east end. In the summer the lines are pretty long in the evening and on the weekend, but that is to be expected. Ed's is also a good place to bring your dog to pick up other dogs.
There…More »
19. Collegiate Lunch
I am actually quite shocked that there are so many reviews for Collegiate Lunch, given that every time I am in there the only other people look like they probably don't own a computer and, if they do, it's certainly not connected to the internet…More »
20. Edward Levesque's Kitchen
Toronto, ON M4L 1C4
(416) 465-3600
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
I found the food to be only okay, but I certainly expected better given the prices. Got off to a rocky start when they were sold out of what I initially wanted to order (was not told of this fact until I tried to order it). I had a Caesar, which was…More »
21. The Friendly Greek Restaurant
Toronto, ON M4K 1P7
(416) 469-8422
Categories:
Greek,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhoods: Greektown, Riverdale
Like many of the other reviewers have mentioned, the Friendly Greek is not the place to go if you're looking to have a special meal out. However, if you just don't feel like cooking and are looking for some pretty good Greek food at a reasonable…More »
22. Velvet...Fine Food
You would have no idea that place was called Velvet unless you tried really hard to figure it out and it's awkward telling someone to meet you at the question mark place. Their motto is something to effect that their food is better than your…More »
23. Casa Di Giorgios
Toronto, ON M4L 1G3
(416) 686-7066
I thought that the food here was really great. It's not exactly in the most picturesque area of Toronto, kind of between Leslieville and the Beaches (right across from the Beaches Cinema). The decor is also pretty dated.
The food is excellent though.…More »
