Many argue the best poutine is in Montreal. I do not doubt this, however all the poutine I have tried from Montreal has come up short in comparison to my life changing experience at Elgin Street Diner. I am however still attempting to attend…More »

  Update - 4/16/2012

It had been over a year since I had last treated myself to Pizzeria Libretto, come to think of it I am not sure why it took me so long to return. The $15 lunch special is hands down THE best current lunch option in Toronto.

For that fee you receive a…More »

Schwartz is unbelievable. I had a sandwich again on my way back to Toronto from Montreal and I was blown away all over again. It was almost as if it was the first time I ever ate it. I finished it and cursed myself that I didn't order another, or at…More »

Junior's Cheesecake is the best I have ever had, and Drake would tell you the same.

Growing up I was never really a big cheesecake fan, but Junior's is too good to be true.

I've never had any cake that has tasted as good.

It melts in your mouth so…More »

My goodness this restaurant is a-may-zing. I don't know where to start.
