I grew up in Mississauga and still don't know half the city b/c it is so expansive. But here are a few places I still like to visit.

 1. La Novita Bakery

25 John St
Mississauga, ON L5A 1Y5
(905) 279-7557

Category: Bakeries

4.0 star rating
  4/14/2010 First to Review

Easy to say this is one of the best bakeries in Mississauga. Portuguese, I believe (b/c of those fantastical custard tart things I've have eaten for breakfast/lunch/dinner at one time or another).

Freshly baked breads, rolls, bun, etc. and are almost…More »

For me, this is the closest place for dim sum geographically. Sunday wait times seem longer when you're hungry, so get here early.

Carts break out of the kitchen like bulls at the Stampede, so don't lolly-gag when these trolleys pass your table, b/c…More »

Just tried a chicken salad sandwich ordered from this place. Best catered meal I've had in ages. Fresh multigrain bread. Perfect mix of ingredients.

If I ever grow up an need something catered (with sandwiches), this will be my first stop.

It has been a while since I've been to Nirvana, but I have to say this is one of my favourite Indian food places in Miss.

Nice place inside.  Great selection on the drinkie menu.

Foods were perfectly spiced and presented.  Staff very helpful with…More »

Growing up in west-Mississauga, I was ignorant to establishments like Knob Hill Farms and those of their ilk. Grocery stores had 10 aisles with dairy, frozen and fruit/veggie sections and that's how we liked it.

Highland Farms, in my opinion, is the…More »

Tried to stay away from this place as its too close to Square One and therefore a mall-restaurant.

I eventually went and was pleased.  Steered away from the buttered chicken and tried stuff I'd nearly never had...except the Kofta as I have to have…More »

Holy Eastern European Food Emporium!  

If you happen to be looking for food that is pickled, this is your store.  I jest, of course.  Starsky's has a pretty good selection of veggies, specifically for the burbs.  And where you would normally find the…More »

Confused by the previous review, as I visit Sun Sun for dim sum (only) on a monthly basis and there ain't no top floor to go to.

This place is massive and on weekends, is always full.  I've never had to wait longer than 5 mins. for a table though.…More »

Not a bad place to be assessed for joint injuries and obviously, strains and sprains.

No-nonsense examinations, staff good for asking information regarding exercises, orthotics and if needed, surgery.

Selection of men's/women's footwear as well.  I…More »

Friendly staff to a clientelle that ranges from truck drivers to old people to business professionals from around the area.  The most harrowing thing is parking in between rigs.

Great little greasy spoon, even though they wouldn't like being called…More »

Among the dozens of eateries on this corner, this place is a landmark in Mississauga.

Haven't been here for a while but when I lived in the area not too long ago, the Orchard was THE breakfast/brunch place to hit in this sprawling city. That is not to…More »

As close to authentic as you can get...in...Peel Region?

No, the menu has some fantastic dishes. The guacamole is good but like a lot of other places, it is too expensive (side order was $6, I believe). Empanadas are filling as all hell; I don't think…More »

I love this area of Mississauga (Hurontario/Dundas) as there are dozens of hole-in-the-wall places to grab a bite and from all across our Big Blue Marble.  Wow is one of them.

Always intrigued by the large orange sign outside, I scurried in.

Wow is…More »

A poor man's Cora's.

I've been going to this family-run, greasy spoon for years.  Parking is a muthaflippa', but you eventually find something.

Seating comes at a premium in this little place.  Food and portions are incredible.  This was my first 3-egg…More »

Converted from a McDonald's from days of yore.

Great place to watch an EPL footie game on weekends. Will be packed during World Cup too. Decor is your standard pub - stucco, dark panelling, brass plates and a few books thrown around here and there.…More »

Recently updated lists from Richie S.

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).

The Best of Oakvegas (15)

For those brave enough to venture forth into what was the Original Cottage-Country, Oakville has some of the best establishments around.

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".
