The Best of Oakvegas
See All Lists
1. Pasquale's Trattoria
After changing reservation attendee numbers 3 times with this restaurant (all without a smidge of impatience!), a group of us (10 in total) ate here on a Saturday night. As I made the dinner reservations for 7:30, I was on time, but friends being…More »
2. Mye Japanese Restaurant
Pretty sweet Japanese food. Sushi is very tasty. I don't think you can screw Edamame up too much, so they have a good one too.
Veggie Tempura is outstanding! Scrump. Udon? Loverly.
Already said, a diamond. Staff are professional and friendly. Worth…More »
3. C'est Cheese & Meats - CLOSED
Oakville, ON L6H 4L2

Categories:
Caterers,
Cheese Shops,
Meat Shops
Oleg is my new best friend.
Came in here for some foie gras. Left with foie gras, homemade lobster bisque, a rabbit paté, cured bison and a duck breast.
Told him about a cheese I tried recently and he took my name and phone #, saying he would try to…More »

I am a Foie Gras whore. There, I said it.
But finding the stuff...good stuff...is next to impossible… Read more »
4. Mr. Lube
Mississauga, ON L5K 1R7
(905) 822-2425
Categories:
Auto Repair,
Oil Change Stations
***-1 Stars***
Just returned from a different Mr. Lube for an oil change and I mentioned a leak I noticed.
Long story short: these guys recommended and flushed the tranny...incorrectly...on a car that DOESN'T NEED THE TRANNY FLUSHED.
EVER.
Had I done…More »

Awesome little place! One day I hope to drop by when they haven't sold out of Doubles. I've always… Read more »
6. Greyfriars Pub
Ate here on a Saturday night, hours before a UFC fight was scheduled as a main event (On TV, not in the pub).
The place...including the patio...was empty, but it was early evening. One of the specials was a Lamb Burger and I pounced on the…More »

Stopped in here willing to spend a little time supping a Guinness and watching the Olympics.

7. Green Bean Roasting Co
What Vivek said.
A really cozy but spacious place to enjoy a coffee and company when the weather get cold. I can't stand going when its nice out, but that has nothing to do with the establishment, but the patrons in and outside.
The Market Call -…More »
8. Monastery Bakery & Delicatessen
Great place for freshly baked goods. Breads, croissants, buns, pastries don't have any added preservatives here...or so I was told. The trade-off is that you have to eat everything within 24 hours as everything turns into really big croutons or…More »
9. Just An Olde Fashion Butchery and Seafood
Great place to find the stuff not available in grocery stores. Much better quality as well.
Sushi grade tuna steaks I ordered had to be close to an 1.5 inches thick. The prices reflect the quality and lets just leave it at that. Nice cuts of beef,…More »
10. Five Drive-In Theatre
Can't believe I haven't written a review of the "The 5" yet!
I've been coming to this place since I was a wee one. A virtual socio-experiment of movie-goers that represent every income level.
The last time I visited, a family of 5 (parents, two kids…More »
11. Seasons Restaurant
Fantastic place.
Really extensive wine list with many wines that pair well with their dishes. Steak was great, wife had fish of the day which was delicious, but she wouldn't trade or share very much.
I believe we were served by a co-owner and she…More »
12. SilverCity Oakville
I am now a SilverCity VIP tramp and refuse to visit another cinema from now on.
The chairs are huge and also recline. They have staff that visit your seat to take orders and deliver actual food (sushi, desserts, sammitches, yam fries, etc.) and BOOZE…More »
13. La Moda Messina
After the cleaner I used to use mangled yet another piece of clothing, http://www.yelp.ca/biz..., I was told that La Moda Messina could perform miracles. And it's true.
After writing-off my favourite suit to an inept schlobo, La Moda Messina took my…More »
14. Coriander Green
Another great meal.
Each dish was thick and rich and spiced perfectly. So much so, I noticed my clothing smelled of the restaurant the next day. Noooo complaints.
However, Indian bottles of beer are $7 a PIECE = and large dishes are $17-18 = really…More »

15. Jetbaby
Great little place to dress your wee-ones like young adults.
KISS bibs, AC/DC (and a dozen other bands) T-shirts.
Chucks, Vans and DC shoes.
Ben Sherman, Quicksilver and Billabong!
Not to be out done, they also have lovely little outfits for girls as…More »

It rubs the lotion on it's skin... (10)Places where men can go to get their pretty on....creepy List Name, huh?! |
Skip these if given a choice. (10)Lets keep this one basic - a list of places that I would now have to bribed somewhat to even think about returning. No joke. |
Great, but (10)Here's a list of fantastic places that just aren't quite "there" yet. |
Good places to help you dress like a Man (8)Well, if I can't act like one, at least I can fool some of you by dressing like one. |
Mmmmeat (15)If it were socially acceptable (and healthy) to eat red meat at every meal, I would load up my bbq in a Radio Flyer and pull it everywhere I went.Instead, I am forced to search for establishments that either serve-up or will sell me glorious mounds of animal flesh. |
Fine Dining Establishments (8)Hey, because I'm pretentious like that!Places I've frequently visited (and in turn either sold my first born, or a kidney). |
French Places (20)I've always had a fetish for French eateries. Full-fledged restos, bistros or boites - it doesn't matter. I'm just getting around to as many as possible. But cut me some slack; I'm on the case and I'm going as fast as my lazy ass can.Maybe it's b/c I judge everyone / everything and generally think I'm better than everyone else. It's the frenchie in me! |
French Places, not in France, but in the GTA (16)I'm on a mission to get to as many Good French place in Ontario as possible before I need a bigger pant size. Here's the list so far. |
Everybody go Hotel, Motel, Holiday Inn (10)Places to stay while away. No, they don't do "hourly". |
Helloooooo love, would you like a sweetie? (7)K, that came off as creepy rather than Mrs. Doubtfire-ish.These are place to grab something for your sweet set of teeth. |
