1. Function 13
Toronto, ON M5T 2L5
(416) 840-1010
Categories:
Art Galleries,
Books, Mags, Music and Video
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
This place is a wet dream for self-professed technology-meets-design-meets- media geeks like me. I knew I could really get into this little boutique as soon as I saw two different editions of Marshall McLuhan's "The Medium is the Massage" in the…More »
2. The Burger's Priest
Here's my confession: I moved to Toronto in July of 2010. Prior to my visit to the Burger's Priest, it had been nearly 9 months since I have eaten a decent burger in Toronto -- and believe me, I've tried plenty of them. I was beginning to give up…More »
3. Bay Street Video
Toronto, ON M5S 2B4
(416) 964-9088
Categories:
Videos and Video Game Rental,
Music & DVDs
Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, Yorkville, Downtown Core
Dude! Movie nirvana! If the movie isn't here, it doesn't exist. Bay Street Video has one of the largest collections I've seen at any video rental place. Not only is the selection massive and well-organized, you can tell that the owners and staff are…More »
4. Stella
Toronto, ON M6H 1N7
Category:
Bars
Neighbourhoods: Brockton Village, Bloordale Village, Wallace Emerson
STELLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! (I mean, come on Yelp friends, you've dropped the ball! No one's made a reference to this famous line yet in any review, and it had to be said at least once!)
This awesome little boîte on the ass end of Bloor has quickly…More »
5. Magic Pony

Giant Robot
Kozyndan
Tokidoki
KidRobot
Takashi Murakami
Gama-Go
...then hie thee to Magic Pony! They've got a ton of fun books,…More »
6. Celestin
Toronto, ON M4S 2M9

Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
French
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant and Davisville
This review is for their brunch menu, which is fan-frigging-tastic. The way-too-chipper for 9am server/hostess was sweet and very French and very quick with the coffee (merci boucoup) and croissants. The croissants, by the way, were LEGENDARY. All…More »
7. Nadège Patisserie
Toronto, ON M6J 1G2
(416) 368-2009
Macarons? Croissants? Sandwiches? YES PLEASE. Nadege makes them all awesomely. I stopped in to get a couple of sandwiches to go, and they were so good I could have married them. The croissants have a nice crispy crust on top and buttery flaky layers…More »
8. Rahier Patisserie
Toronto, ON M4G 3B7
(416) 482-0917
If there is one thing you MUST add to your bucket list, it is having a salted caramel macaron from Rahier. I'm not kidding. If you are an atheist, this maacron will make you see God. If you are a pessimist, eating one will fill you with hope. If you…More »
9. Carlton Cinemas
Toronto, ON M5B 2H5
(416) 494-9371
Category:
Cinema
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
While the Carlton isn't the fanciest or the most luxurious movie theater around, what they lack in style they certainly make up in value and quality. I mean, movies are $5 on Tuesdays! How awesome is that? They feature a decent mix of big studio…More »
10. Preloved
Toronto, ON M6J 1G5
(416) 504-8704
Category:
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West
I love preloved! While some of the styles here can be hit or miss, I love the concept and the one-of-a-kind gems you'll find here. This location is quite popular, so I prefer their "pop-up" location on Danforth, which has a selection that's much less…More »
11. Korean Grill House
Toronto, ON M4Y 2B6
(416) 922-3328
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Yorkville, Downtown Core
KOREAN. MEAT. ORGY.
As I write this, I am in a state of carnivore bliss, having stuffed myself silly with delicious korean BBQ (artfully cooked by none other than moi, if I do say so myself). I've been to a lot of Korean BBQ joints, and although…More »
12. Table 17
Toronto, ON M4M 1H4
(416) 519-1851
Categories:
French,
Modern European
Neighbourhood: Riverdale
All hail the mighty Groupon, without which I never would have experienced this place. After a really long, rainy, and cold school week during which my meals mainly consisted of stuff I grabbed from convenience stores on campus, I really needed a good…More »
13. Crumpler Toronto
Toronto, ON M6J 1G1
(416) 777-2247
Category:
Luggage
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
Not only do I travel a lot, I'm also a photography junkie and gadget-head. Especially when traveling internationally, I hate carrying the typical gear bags one can find at camera shops (*ahem*Lowepro*ahem*) because they're so obviously for camera…More »
14. The Host
Delicious! I've ordered delivery from the Host through http://OrderIt.ca, and I've dined in, and each time the food has been great. The quality of ingredients can't be beat. From the creamy-delicious Butter Chicken to the pea-tastic Mattar Paneer,…More »
15. Brar's Sweets & Restaurant
Oh my freaking gawd. My husband and I stumbled across this place on our way back from an errand we ran nearby, and I'm so glad we did. This buffet is massive. It's like a typical Indian buffet took a bunch of steroids and landed in Brampton. Not only…More »
16. Parlour Salon
Toronto, ON M6J 2Y7
(647) 345-6663
Category:
Hair Salons
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, West Queen West, Beaconsfield Village
No joke - Brionie gave me one of the best haircuts of my entire life. I don't say that lightly, either. I have coarse, wavy, and very stubborn Asian hair that's dyed within an inch of its life, and I've had my hair in the same asymmetrical, sharply…More »

18. Magic Wok Cantonese Cuisine
Magic Wok, indeed! It's crowded and the service was not that great, but the Cantonese food was stupendous. First, your meal at Magic Wok starts off with a bowl of complimentary pork soup, which is nice and unctuously delicious. Our family style…More »

Ethnic Food,
Delis,

Being a recent Indonesian-American transplant to Toronto, I was terribly disappointed to learn that the GTA lacks a proper Indonesian restaurant. Furthermore, the local Asian markets don't seem to carry many of pre-packaged Indonesian spices with…More »
