See All Lists
1. Yasi's Place - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M6P 3N2
Canada
(416) 536-9888
Categories:
Diners,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighborhood: The Junction
Hey everyone, what's for lunch? Come on over to Yasi's Place for your next nosh! "Yasi" sounds like the name of your local baker or sandwich maker and the atmosphere is really neighbourhood-y and welcoming. They serve brunch on weekends and Mondays…More »
2. Dimmi Bar & Trattoria
It didn't occur to me until recently that this place takes reservations, and at busy times I'd highly recommend one. It's not unlikely that you'll spot some of Toronto's sports glitterati while you're at Dimmi (I've seen both Tie Domi and Andrea…More »
3. Gio Rana's Really Really Nice Restaurant
Toronto, ON M4M 1L7
Canada
(416) 469-5225
Categories:
Italian,
Tapas/Small Plates
Neighborhood: Leslieville
Still my favourite, and consistently wonderful. All of the servers look happy to be working there. Try to get Josh, the dude that looks like a cuter David Arquette, as your server. He's the best of the best.
Lovely ambiance, terrific food, great…More »

4. Terroni
Toronto, ON M6J 1E8
Canada
(416) 504-0320
Category:
Italian
Neighborhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
Yes it's true - they don't take reservations and won't allow ANY substitutions on the menu, but Terroni has to be doing something right because they regularly have a lineup out the door, the kitchen and bar are always bustling with activity, all of…More »
5. The Queen of Tarts - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M6R 2M3
Canada
(416) 651-3009
Category:
Desserts
Neighborhoods: High Park, Roncesvalles
I was saddened to learn the news of Queen Of Tarts' closure (http://www.queenoftart...) at the end of 2009. Still one of the city's best lemon tarts, and always a delight to visit when on the lookout for special party treats and baking supplies.

6. Future Bakery & Cafe
Toronto, ON M5S 1Y2
Canada
(416) 922-5875
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighborhood: The Annex
Ask any of my friends what my most common complaint about Toronto is and they'll say "Kat's always whining about how she can never find anywhere that's NOT a bar to hang out at after hours, and that all the good cafes close at the absurd hour of…More »
7. 7 West Cafe
Toronto, ON M4Y 1R4
Canada
(416) 928-9041
Categories:
Italian,
Breakfast & Brunch,
Nightlife
Neighborhood: Downtown Core
I am a 24/7 type of person who's constantly b*tching about the lack of 24 hour establishments in the city that aren't a grimy, terrifying coffee shop or strip club. 7 West is my answer to everything I'm looking for in a hangout, with the bonus of…More »
8. Sneaky Dee's
Toronto, ON M5T 1T1
Canada
(416) 603-3090
Oh Sneak's, my trusty and reliable old pal!
Every mischief-making night out should conclude with a default visit to Sneaky Dee's, and it usually does. There really isn't anything not to love about this place.
The server turnover is low - you'll always…More »

9. The Lakeview
Toronto, ON M6J 1X2
Canada
(416) 535-2828
Categories:
Diners,
Canadian (New)
Neighborhoods: Little Italy, Little Portugal, Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods
For the first time possibly ever, I visited Lakeview at a reasonable hour instead of in the middle of the night. I think it might have been 7pm? I was toggling between about five different menu items but finally settled on the o' standard - premium…More »

10. Bar Italia
Toronto, ON M6G 1B3
Canada
(416) 535-3621
Category:
Italian
Neighborhoods: Little Italy, Palmerston, Bickford Park
I can't vouch for the lunch/dinner options but the chocolate ganache cake at Bar Italia is to DIE for. Maybe literally. It's essentially composed of just pure dark chocolate and heavy cream. Unbelievably good. It's definitely an indulgence but kinda…More »
11. Rheo Thompson Candies
If you say you love chocolate but haven't yet sampled the ambrosia that is Rheo Thompson, I'll probably call you a liar because this is truly the most decadent chocolate I've ever tasted. Seriously - Laura Secord, Lindt, Godiva, Guylian and the like…More »
12. Red Rocket Coffee
Toronto, ON M4J 1M9
Canada
Categories:
Desserts,
Coffee & Tea
Neighborhood: The Danforth
OK, clearly Red Rocket heard my pleas for better music because today it's been a rotation of Daft Punk's Alive 2007, Simian and Ratatat. It can't get more kickass than that.
Also, I just housed the best date square I've ever had in my life. It was…More »

Categories:
Belgian,
Gastropubs
Neighborhood: St. Lawrence
I went to check out the awfully named "Fondüe Feastivül" (seriously guys, are so many umlauts necessary??) tonight. Making a reservation over the phone brought back memories of Terroni - a list of rules was emailed to me and I was warned that our…More »

14. DT Bistro-Patisserie
When you enter DT (aka "Dessert Trends") Bistro you're immediately greeted by an overwhelming panoply of delicious cakes, tarts, souffles and mousses. If I had to guess I'd say there were about 40 different individual-sized selections, each one more…More »
15. The Pie Shack
Toronto, ON M4E 1G7

Neighborhood: The Beach
10 Things I Love About Pie Shack!
1) The hours are phenomenal. 11am-11pm every day - this alone ranks it high on my favourite places list, as you all know how I feel about cafes that close early.
2) Free, reliable wi-fi. Stay as long as you like - no…More »
16. Stonemill Bakehouse
Toronto, ON M5E 1C4
Canada
(416) 601-1853
Category:
Bakeries
Neighborhoods: St. Lawrence, Downtown Core
UGH. I *just* got back into my gym routine, and along comes Stonemill Bakehouse with the audacity of presenting me with a flaky, gooey pastry that goes by the name of Raspberry Twist.
I also lay partial blame to Sarah L. for already derailing…More »
17. For The Love of Cake Custom Creations
Toronto, ON M6K 3P6
Canada
(416) 306-6446
Where's the love for mint + chocolate, hello?
I sampled "The Grasshopper" at the tail of Cupcake Crawl II: The Reckoning last weekend and it was by far my favourite cupcake of the day, and definitely one of the top minty dessert contenders in the…More »
18. Jimmy's Coffee
I've very much warmed up to Jimmy's Coffee and it's become one of my favourites. Yes it's true, I was not a fan of the hot chocolate on my first visit, but as of my fifth, sixth, seventh visit and beyond, I've been loving their cappuccinos (the…More »
