Toronto's Most Terrifying Toilets

Descend at your own risk! The basement washrooms at these otherwise reputable establishments are terrifying, to say nothing of the actual hygiene of the facilities. Think "haunted house"-level scary. Be careful!

1. The Painted Lady

218 Ossington Ave
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z8
Canada

Category: Lounges

Neighborhoods: Little Portugal, Ossington Strip, Beaconsfield Village

The scariest washroom** of all time. Like, ever. As I descended the perilous, entirely unlit ONYX staircase I channeled Jodie Foster in that penultimate scene of Silence Of The Lambs where she's in the basement with Buffalo Bill, fumbling her way…More »

I routinely crave the veggie burger ("Soul Burger") from Hero and luckily the Queen Street location is only a quick streetcar ride away for me. I usually get the combo and put goat cheese, avocado and tomatoes on my burger, which is an excellent…More »

Update - 1/9/2010

4 stars go to my favourite plaided out ginger chef Bryan in the kitchen for busting out an off-menu french toast with homefries at midnight on a Friday night at my special request. That seriously made my night, and made up for the near death…More »

GOURMET GRILLED CHEESE ALERT!

Yep, it's true. The grilled cheese sandwich at Disgraceland qualifies as a gourmet and is currently the top contender in my quest for Toronto's ultimate grilled cheese sandwich - even though it had three types of cheese…More »

Category: Lounges

Neighborhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park

Update - 6/22/2009

Another night of sexy, sexy times at Souz Dal. The martini menu reads more like a dessert menu (what a tease) with names like creme brulée and creamsicle, and I've recently learned that they carry my new favourite drink - the Caipirinha (Brazil's…More »

Category: Doughnuts

Neighborhoods: Brockton Village, Bloordale Village, Wallace Emerson

4/4/2009 First to Review

The Coffee Time at Bloor and Lansdowne wins the award for scariest donut shop experience in Toronto. It's downright terrifying. Coffee Time in general is 'bottom of the barrel' but the location of this one makes it the ultimate.

I've had to stop in…More »

Probably my favourite sweet potato fries in the city. They're extremely thick cut - think one whole sweet potato sliced lengthwise into maybe four shards - and deliciously spiced with cinnamon, cumin, maybe cloves? They come with sour cream and also…More »

OK, so now that I know better than to ever order the food here, I'd recommend it for all beer lovers. On the first Sunday of every month they host a Beer 101 course next door at The One In The Only. Come for a drink on the bar side and you just might…More »
