The UofT Student / Resident
See All Lists
1. University of Toronto
Toronto, ON M5S 3G4
(416) 978-1931
Category:
Colleges & Universities
Neighbourhoods: University of Toronto, Downtown Core
Being a UofT student myself and hearing all of the negative cred that Uoft gets from a few loudmouthed people bothers me a bit.
UofT is (regardless of all the banter) a great university - consistently ranked within the top 15-20 universities in the…More »
2. U of T Bookstore
Toronto, ON M5T 3A1
(416) 640-7900
Category:
Bookstores
Neighbourhoods: University of Toronto, Downtown Core
Unless you've got loads of cash you'd like to waste (which first year students apparantly love to do), then stay away from this bookstore! Books are WAAYY overpriced and although they have some cool UofT clothing, they too are overpriced as well. $50…More »
3. Sammy's Student Exchange
Toronto, ON M5S 3H3
(416) 978-3325
Category:
Mediterranean
Neighbourhoods: University of Toronto, Downtown Core
Sammy's is truly the way students should be eating. Healthy and fresh food from breakfast all the way to dinner (+ they have a bar and have open mic nights and such). It's a little hidden with a small doorway through the wall of Hart House that leads…More »
4. Goed Eten - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M5T 1M5
(647) 345-7633
Quite possibly one of the BEST Belgian waffles I've ever had!! This Belgian Waffle house serves two different types of waffles - Brussels Style (soft, savory, freshly made - get the lavender ice cream and fruit on top, SOOOOO GOOOD) and Liege which…More »
5. Bocca On Baldwin
Perfecto! Absolutely great place with great food. Service is absolutely amazing, very friendly owner who will take care of any and all of your requests.
Atmosphere is very cozy although I found the entrance to be quite odd but understandable. You have…More »
6. Silverstein's Bakery
If you've ever walked through Baldwin village or down McCaul and notice that the air around you is suddenly making you feel as if you've walked into a small specialty bakery with the aromas and heat of freshly baked bread, then look to the grungy…More »
7. B.B.Ques
Toronto, ON M5S 2H7
(416) 323-3663
B B Ques is a great place to get your BBQ type food fix for cheap. Having an attractive and well maintained decor, lots of choices of food (from chicken to ribs to sandwiches and the like) for cheap prices, it's not a bad choice if you're looking for…More »
8. Cora Pizza
Toronto, ON M5S 2H7
(416) 922-1188
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhoods: University of Toronto, Downtown Core
Open late, Cora's is the best bet for UofT students to get a good pizza late at night.
They have great pizzas with great topping combinations and most importantly their slices and pizza's are FRESH (as compared to the place next door to Cora's which…More »
9. Big Fat Burrito
Toronto, ON M5T 2M1
(416) 913-7487
I have to agree it's expensive. $7 for the small burrito and not very fat and $9 for the large and very fat one. Unfortunately I wasn't too hungry so I settled for the small and while very tasty, I kept thinking it would've been worth it to double…More »
10. Flip Toss & Thai Kitchen
This place is run by a former chef of Salad King (just off Yonge near Dudas) and from what I can see in the menu, it's pretty much Salad King but CHEAPER!
From what seems to be a family run business, all the servers are really nice, and friendly.…More »
11. The Second Cup
Toronto, ON M5T 1P7
(416) 595-0244
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: University of Toronto, Downtown Core
Just across the street from most UofT lecture halls, Second Cup may have the upper hand on Starbucks with it's location and interior layout (damn them for building a Starbucks in the med sci building).
Clearly aimed to be a place for students, they…More »
12. The Red Room
Toronto, ON M5T 2G8
(416) 929-9964
Categories:
Indian,
Asian Fusion,
Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
This is a really strange but cool place, it seems they can't make up their mind on whether they want to be a pub or indian or chinese or thai or asian fusion or a bunch of other stuff, it's just a mish mash of a whole bunch of random foods but it…More »
13. Tokyo Sushi House
Tokyo Sushi is literally what you would define as a hole in the wall. I live across the street from it and it took me 2 weeks to notice it was even there! Craving some good sushi, I decided to check it out and when I went in I was shocked to see how…More »
14. Einstein Cafe & Pub
**3.5 Stars**
A hangout for many of UofT students and others a like, most people regularly come back to this hidden gem (maybe not so much gem, I just don't know what else to call it) on College street. A cozy place with a good selection of beer and…More »
15. Sneaky Dee's
Toronto, ON M5T 1T1
(416) 603-3090
Sneaky Dee's is one of those really interesting places you just HAVE to check out. They have a really cool music selection as well as really awesome bands that come out on certain nights and I can't really sum this place up as "wierd" (more so…More »
16. Toko
Toronto, ON M4Y 1Z5
(416) 436-9943
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
Toko is a clean Japanese (probably run by Koreans given the menu - they have Kalbi and Bulgogi too) place with a Sushi-go-round as well as a full menu of sushi, entrees, noodles, etc.
Price is just a teeny-weeny bit more than other places that have…More »
17. Wrap & Grab
Toronto, ON M4Y 1Z3
(416) 598-0505
Categories:
Middle Eastern,
Hookah Bars
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Came back here to hang out and have some shisha and I have to say, the people that work here by far provide the best service for a place like this.
Oh and also I made a mistake, the shisha prices are $13, and $5 for a refill. If you're looking for…More »

18. Harbord Fish & Chips
Something about this place makes me like it. Maybe it's the incredibly small and cozy feel to it. This little shack on Harbord spits out Fish & Chips of really good quality. I feel it really is one of the best Fish & Chips places in the downtown area…More »
19. Rancho Relaxo
I came to this place right after a vacation from Mexico so I was still seeking that authentic Mexican flavour (not Taco Bell). Suffice to say that this place was really Rancho Relaxo! They do a very nice job with the decor in making it seem like you…More »
20. Pizza Nova
This Pizza Nova is much better than the rest of the franchises'. Even from the outside you can tell. They have a cool new interior (I'm speaking relative to other pizza nova's and pizza take out places) and the smell of the pizza's can be smelt from…More »
21. Future Bakery & Cafe
Toronto, ON M5S 1Y2
(416) 922-5875
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: The Annex
Future is quite possibly one of the best places to hang out in the annex on a chill evening (no not the cold chill - I'm trying to be hip here)! I really like ambience of the cafe and they have a wide variety of decent foods (mostly for brunch - not…More »
22. Konnichiwa
A great small authentic Japanese restaurant with a small menu. Everyone that works there is Japanese and their chefs apparently used to work for the Prince Hotel.
They are reasonably priced and have greaat udon/sobu that I really liked. Once patio…More »
23. John's Italian Caffe
Toronto, ON M5T 1L1
(416) 596-8848
Great food - pasta, pizza, panninis (I really liked their veal as well as eggplant paninis ) - on a great patio in the middle of Baldwin village. Service is great, food is moderately priced (most likely going to cost you $15-20 for lunch) and tastes…More »
24. Ritz Caribbean Food
This is a 3.5 stars for me. Initially when I walked in and heard the music blasting I wasn't too happy as I could barely communicate my order to the people behind the counter. It didn't get better when I found out a chicken roti is like 8 freaking…More »
25. Queen Slice Pizza & Pita
Toronto, ON M5T 1P7
(416) 977-1111
Categories:
Sandwiches,
Pizza
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
A typical student eatery. Located literally across the street from the main entrance to UofT's Campus (King's College Rd.) It's a good place to grab a quick slice of pizza and/or schwarma/sandwich before your next class starts.
It is a really wierd…More »
26. Veda Healthy IndianTakeout
Toronto, ON M5S
(416) 961-9797
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhoods: University of Toronto, Downtown Core
Absolutely love their idea and I'm glad they're serving proper food within the campus however their execution falls flat.
This location is in the basement of the Sanford Fleming building (for Engineering students at UofT) and most of their customers…More »
27. Fran's Restaurant
----- 3.5 Stars! -----
I've walked by Fran's at least hundreds of times and yet I had never gone in. I just thought it was a really grungy old diner that never really appealed to me. Well finally I was forced inside to meet a couple friends before…More »
28. Anoush Middle Eastern Cuisine
Toronto, ON M5T 1P7
(647) 436-3625
Category:
Mediterranean
Neighbourhoods: University of Toronto, Downtown Core
Becomes PACKED during lunch time, this is a common eatery for UofT students for their daily dose of Schwarma and Falafels.
They are fast and efficient with good service but the schwarma's aren't anything special. They do the job for the reason of why…More »
29. Papa Ceo Fine Italian Foods & Pizza
Toronto, ON M5S 2H7
(416) 961-2222
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhoods: University of Toronto, Downtown Core
I personally like Cora's much better. Although Papa Ceo's seem to have more selection, most of their pizza's aren't fresh (if you go late at night which is when I only seem to crave my need for pizza!). It is open late and has a TV to keep you…More »
30. Not Just Noodles
I had heard a lot about this place and it's goodness of cheap Chinese food, but I was slightly disappointed when I had some takeout. I got the Chicken w/ Black Bean sauce with fried rice noodles for takeout and although I was impressed that it didn't…More »
31. Rice Bar - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M5T 2M2
(416) 922-7423
Category:
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
Rice Bar is a really unique restaurant in a really unique area (Kensington Market). It has a very cool food system. The way it works is, you order a type of rice or noodle, then a protein (i.e. meat) then some unique vegetables, and then a sauce, and…More »
32. Tvanele Dolce & Gelato Ltd
Toronto, ON M4Y 1J8
(416) 323-9836
Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, University of Toronto, Downtown Core
Wasn't too pleased with what Dolce & Gelato had to offer. First I tried their special UofT student breakfast (simple 2 eggs, bacon, fries and coffee) for $5 as I was just running out to class and it was such a waste. I could've (and probably…More »
33. Ye Olde Brunswick House
Personally I didn't like any of the times I went to Brunswick house. The place itself is really cool and laid out well but the music is a bit lame and I find the crowd that gathers there aren't really my type. If you walk by around midnight you'll…More »
34. Pho Hung Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5S 1T8
(416) 963-5080
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: The Annex, Downtown Core
Pho Hung is a decent place if you're looking for Pho downtown but definitely nothing special. Being a franchise doesn't help either, the staff they hire don't really care. Case in point: My friends took out a birthday boy for dinner here as they were…More »
35. Subway Sandwiches
Toronto, ON M5T 1P9
(416) 598-2226
Category:
Sandwiches
Neighbourhoods: University of Toronto, Downtown Core
I don't usually review franchises as I'm sure everyone's been to a Subway before and knows what they're getting.
But holy-cheapness, this location is skiimppy on the toppings! If you go during peak times expect to ask 4 or 5 times to add more…More »
36. Pita Pit
Toronto, ON M5T 1R4
(416) 586-0202
Categories:
Sandwiches,
Fast Food
Neighbourhoods: University of Toronto, Downtown Core
Okay fine I lied. I came back here today.
It seems the less lunch I make the more dillema there is about where to eat everyday. Finding rather healthy cheap fast food around UofT is a challenge in itself but I realized that Pita Pit is probably one of…More »

I walked in hoping to get my load of Indian food and it seemed they had some sort of an insect infestation! I swear on my…More »

Category:

Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, Downtown Core
I've been very disappointed with Urbana. Not only is it NOT urban nor chic nor anything else they claim to be, they can't even make proper freaking coffee!! Both times I ordered coffee and cappuccino, it was clear the coffee/espresso was BURNT and it…More »

Category:

Neighbourhoods: University of Toronto, Downtown Core
I'm sorry but this place doesn't deserve me spending time writing a review about it... just DON'T GO THERE and hopefully something better will appear there soon. Man I feel like an ass, I apologize to the owners who are very nice people but COME ON,…More »
40. Fujiyama Japanese Restaurant
Just went here for lunch and it is absolutely did not receive anything Sandra O. is talking about. Here's a summary of my visit:
Come in, get seated, then wait 20 minutes to get a hold of a server to ASK for a menu (weren't that busy, maybe 4 or 5…More »
