Couple of things that the real Khao San Road in City of Angle and the one here in Hog Town share in common are, the infectious and fanatic crowd and good eats!

Lunch at Bannock was amazing!
Everything about this place is outstanding. The modern and clean lines of the space makes it feel airy while the rustic wood panels and solid wooden chairs make the space feel homey. The dining area is perfect for large…More »

You follow your heart to find the love of your life. When choosing the perfect place to celebrate your love, you follow your gut. And my gut told me, "White Chocolate Cheesecake, Double-baked in Phyllo with Biscotti Crust."

Canadian (New),
Soup,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
On a cold, frigid day, it's wonderful to have a restaurant like Fabarnak near by. A place that you can walk and grab a tasty brunch.
My favorite, the Shrimps and grits, was as delicious as ever. The spiciness of the sauce helped to drive the (-21…More »

I have never tried Tunisian food nor North African fusion with Southern Italian and French. Now, I'm a huge fan of…More »
6. Mengrai Gourmet Thai
In a sea of restaurants that serve common "Thai" dishes on their menu, I was so happy to see a list of unique menu items at Mengrai Gourmet Thai. Red curry chicken with lychee and braised curry lamb with peaches, to name a few.
From the very first…More »

Category:
Gastropubs
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Trinity Bellwoods
Stars of the show:
+ Roasted Bone Marrow--this one is finger licking good. Scrape some bone marrow on a piece of toasted bread and sprinkle sea salt on it. Sea salt brings out the richness of the bone marrow. It's truly amazing!
+ Foie Gras Mousse…More »
9. Szechuan Legend
Before my first visit to Szechuan Legend, my knowledge of Szechuan food was about the size of a Szechuan peppercorn. But after last night's Hot n' Spicy food crawl, I have gained a better understanding of this fiery Chinese cuisine and learned that…More »

Breakfast & Brunch

Snap judgement: Loved it. We went there after having dinner at the Black Hoof across the street since they only had carrot cake for dessert.
Seriously, look for Peach Fritters on the menu board. It's lip smacking good! I'm talking about perfectly…More »

For many years, Southern Accent has been the place I go when my aching soul needs a good cajun & creole spanking.

Toronto, ON M4L 1Z3
(416) 406-1668
Lahore is vibrant, upbeat, fun and exotic. I can't remember the last time I had this much fun at a restaurant. Everywhere I turned, I saw people having fun, laughing with their friends and family. This is the kind of place I love.

This was our fourth visit to OM Restaurant. I'm still a fan.
Of course, we had to order the garlic naan again, not one but two orders. We love that they came out hot from the oven and straight to our table -- so tasty, light and fluffy. (10/10)

I love you, Toronto! Where else in the world that I could have Spanish tapas for dinner and a lips-smacking good Indian buffet for lunch on the following day?
I was afraid this would happen. I knew I should have come here for the buffet. Kathmandu…More »
