I did not want to leave Smokeless Joe's. The coolest little beer bar we found on our trip. Amazing beer list that covered places from around the world that you never see on a beer list in the states. They had a beer from Bosnia fer cryin out loud.…More »

You think you've had some good burgers... that you're pleased with the above average one you get every now and then at the pub down the street... and then you're treated to one of those holy experiences like biting into one of the burgers at…More »

2009 is winding down so we may very well be in the beginning stages of some new food trend already, but charcuterie is still making a big impression as it finds its way from town to town. And why not? It lends itself to using local goods and has a…More »

Sun dappled french toast on a beautiful Thursday morning before hitting the road to Niagara wine country. The Toronto winning meal streak stayed alive at Mitzi's. Sure the price was a little steep, but damn if these weren't some of the most…More »

Being over 30 and not to be found in tight pants or being in love with the 80s, I ended up resisting the urge to hit Sneaky Dee's. Just didn't feel like I was cool enough (and my stomach isn't in quite the fighting shape it used be). And I'm ok…More »

Category: Coffee & Tea

Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Chinatown, Downtown Core

10/14/2009

If I wasn't hitting up Bulldog every morning, it was Dark Horse. And it's a tough call to pick one over the other in terms of quality. But Dark Horse may win out due to their luxurious atmosphere, wide array of coffee condiments -- cinnamon! -- and…More »

Strong contender for best coffee I had in Toronto. Lovingly made lattes that are worth every penny. There's a professionalism on display here too -- no matter the line that may be forming out the door, the staff here is cool and in control. You…More »

Cool basement hideaway serving up an extensive array of local brews. It was one of the first and last places we hung out at during our Toronto trip and I'd head back there tonight if I could. On both occasions the staff was friendly and willing to…More »

Oh, elusive Volo. First time we were an hour early -- ok, that's my fault for not double checking the time. Second time, you were opening a half hour late. We came back later that day and found out the late opening was due to new staff being…More »

Toronto knows its meat, lemmetellya. Caplansky's Delicatessen is another Toronto establishment that serves up some amazing house smoked product. And for under 10 bucks (impressive for the area) I got more food than I could handle. The breakfast…More »
