1. Sapporo Sushi
This is my go-to sushi spot on my visits to Toronto. The fish is always fresh and the daily deals are great: $8 for 20 pieces of salmon on Tuesday? I'm there! The place is tiny and there is definitely a crowd during the regular meal times, so try to…More »
2. Bayview Garden Chinese Cuisine
I met up with some friends here tonight, and since I haven't been in Mississauga very often, the place is new to me. But the restaurant is nice, it's very clean and well decorated, and the food is good. It's a mish-mash of a restaurant serving foods…More »
3. Congee Queen
When I think congee, I always picture some hole in the wall restaurant with sticky tables. So when I first stepped into Congee Queen, it's like seeing the sun! Four years later, and I still return to this place when I'm back in Toronto. The food is…More »
4. Cafe Maxim's Patissirie Ltd
When I'm back in town, this place is a must for their meringue. On a good day, they'll have the strawberry, mango or blueberry meringue cakes available.
The restaurant is fairly casual looking and I don't like how the dining area isn't really…More »
5. The Academy of Spherical Arts
Toronto, ON M6K 1G1
(416) 532-2782
Categories:
Pool Halls,
Canadian (New),
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhood: Liberty Village
Lovely! Came here for a brunch with friends after their high praises, and was pleasantly surprised. It's a hidden gem for a brunch (like, REALLY hidden, we were the only people in the entire place) but they do a great job with the comfortable…More »
6. O & B Canteen
Toronto, ON M5V 3X2
(647) 288-4710
Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
Bonus points for the patio! I met up with a bunch of friends for lunch here since everyone works fairly close by. It's a convenient location and in a lively area, so a great choice for a chill weekday lunch. it was definitely busy with TIFF going on,…More »
7. Karine's
Toronto, ON M5T 3K5

Categories:
Vegan,
Breakfast & Brunch,
Vegetarian
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
My brother and I stopped by here after hoping to head to Manpuku just next door (closed on Sundays! Should've checked Yelp first, ergh). While we stood infront of the CLOSED sign, I looked to my right there were a TON of happy people dining in front…More »
8. Paradise Fine Chinese Dining
The is the default dim sum place when I come home for a visit. It's close by, the service is fast, it's never crazy busy when you go early in the morning, and the food is yum.
Pay your bill by 11:30, and all SML dishes are $2.75! Some of the better…More »
9. Coconut Island Restaurant
Stopped by here for lunch with family. The place is tucked away and kind of dark on the inside, but the servers were nice and the owner came out to say hi.
The food here is definitely authentic. The soup bases and sauces are all made by hand and you…More »
10. Real Sports Bar & Grill
When I read the website saying they were the best sports bar in North America (as decided by ESPN), I was kinda skeptical. I mean, how awesome can a sports bar be? Well this bar is pretty awesome. They've got a massive large screen above the bar that…More »
11. Bairrada Churrasqueira Grill
Toronto, ON M6H 1A7
(416) 539-8239
Categories:
Portuguese,
Barbeque
Neighbourhood: Dufferin Grove
This place came highly recommended by my cousin, so we went to give it a try while I was visiting the big t-dot. We were early so the place was fairly empty, but by the time we left, it was packed and people were waiting outside!
The place itself is…More »
12. The Sugar
I'm so sad, I used to love this place. But now it's not called The Sugar anymore since they're starting to serve more set meals as opposed to Chinese desserts.
The place has undergone a few renovations, and every time I come back (6 month intervals),…More »
13. Stonegrill On Winchester
Toronto, ON M4X 1A8
(416) 967-6565
Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhood: Cabbagetown
Came here to celebrate my brother's birthday with the family, and since I've been to the one in Vancouver I knew what to expect. The place itself is in a strange neighbourhood, I would never venture over there if not for the dinner. It was not a busy…More »
14. Sin & Redemption
I could've sworn Elaine K would beat me to a review on this (because she's all Yelp crazy), but I guess I'll write it first. I met up with her and a friend for some afternoon boozing, and despite the fact she was having a chili cook-off at home, she…More »
15. Asian Legend
I like how there are lots of locations for this restaurant, but I've only been to 3 of them and I still like this one the best. The food here is always decent, and even during busy times they keep your tea pot full.
We ordered the XLB, steamed…More »
16. Grass Mountain Villa
This hidden joint is tucked away in the corner of an old plaza, so when my parents said they wanted dim sum here I was like "where is that?! really??"
But lo and behold, there was a dim sum place. I was fairly worried that the place would be crazy…More »
17. Baton Rouge Restaurant
I luuurv Baton Rouge. Maybe it's because I don't know where to find decent ribs in Vancouver. Maybe because the massive amount of fall-of-the-bone goodness can be yours for such a decent price. Maybe because the place is a great choice for both large…More »
18. All Star Wings & Ribs
I have a soft spot in my stomach for All Stars. I have yet to find a comparable wings joint in the YVR, so when I come home for a visit, it's on my list of places to eat at. Having not been back here in two years, I was super excited eyeing the…More »
19. Fabbrica
Ranked in TorontoLife's top 10 new restaurants in 2011 made this place an enticing lunch option for a meet up with my girlfriends. We arrived at noon after making reservations on OpenTable, but apparently the place was almost empty so there were…More »
20. Owl of Minerva
Cheap food, check. Popular with the locals, check. Good portions, check. Parking availability, check? Well, it was definitely a check for us when we showed up and there was street parking right infront of the place.
Owl is a staple for my visits to…More »
21. Red Lobster Restaurants
Scarborough, ON M1T 3K3

Category:
Seafood
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
Every time I come home for a visit, I try and find a way to go to Red Lobster. They don't have it in Vancouver, and it's a travesty! The cheddar biscuits here are like crack.
I came here for my dad's birthday dinner. Actually I kind of insisted on it,…More »
22. Barque Smokehouse
Toronto, ON M6R 2M3

Category:
Barbeque
Neighbourhoods: High Park, Roncesvalles
Dear Barque,
I love you. I know it's a bit early to say this, and I know you hear it a lot. But I fell in love with the instant someone mentioned bacon rimmed caesers, and you had me at bacon. I hadn't even seen you at this point, but I knew we were a…More »
23. Proof The Vodka Bar
Toronto, ON M5S 1T8
(416) 800-3152
Boozing it up with class? Then step right in!
Came here for some catch-up time with friends late on a Saturday, and was not disappointed. Those drinks are pricy, but they don't skimp on the alki. It was already late when we showed up at 1230am, but…More »
Recently updated lists from Theresa W.
Dim Sum! (20)I love dim sum. I will gladly wake up early on a weekend to go try a new dim sum place out. If you're lacking a vehicle like I am, then perhaps some of these places may interest you when you get a dumpling itch? If I can get there san-car, so can you! |
Visitors List! (8)When I have out of towners, I love telling them about how great our city is. Here's the usual list of places I send them to. :) |
Izakayas! (6)There are so many in the city, I've still got to try them all. |
Sushi! (23)You can't come to this city without going to a sushi joint. And there are many. This might take a while. |
Japanese Noodle and Rice Shops! (4)Delicious (and sometimes brothy) goodness in a bowl. The best kind of meal. |
Diners, Drive-In and Dives (2)Chasing after the show, one restaurant at a time. |
ROTD! (3)I'm so proud! Please don't think any less of me... |
2012 Best Of (9)The winners of 2012! |
The Underdogs (6)April 2012 Challenge: Review some hidden gems that have less than 10 reviews every day for the month of April. I'll try my best! |
Pho Party! (6)Gearing up for some good comfy Vietnamese food? Me too! Let's meet up! |
