Toronto, ON M5E 1B5
Canada
(416) 867-9499
C'est What? You had me at basement! And then I knew it was love when I saw the taps.
I tip toed down the steps into the bottom floor of this cute building and pulled up a seat at the bar asking my typical questions when I saw the keg handles. Do you…More »

Je t'aime Bistro 990. Truly, I do.
I have experienced many a French restaurant but I don't think I have found one quite like this.
We were in a large group and everyone was so impressed with what they had.
I sampled the foie gras (I know, I am…More »
3. Sassafraz Restaurant
Sassafraz Sassafraz Sassafraz.
I have so much fun with that name. Even more fun after a couple of glasses of wine! Speaking of wine, we had a couple of nice ones at dinner...I was having fish (and we will get to my delectable Halibut momentarily) and…More »

Huge fan over here!
I had an explosion of flavor that occurred by accident and this alone, would make me support this independent coffee shop ALL THE TIME!
I ordered my morning staple, cappuccino. But I decided I needed a leeto something with it so I…More »
6. Zoe's Bakery Cafe
This is a great spot for a business breakfast or lunch. It is cute and has character yet offers a "board room" to conduct business meals if you need it.
I went here twice on my recent stint in Toronto and had good food both mornings.
We ordered…More »
7. Thompson Toronto
Toronto, ON M5V 2V4
Canada
(416) 640-7778
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhood: Niagara
I give the Thompson 3.5 stars, but rounded up for the rating because the rate we got at $179 was pretty great. If it is over $200, I might not be inclined to round up.
I stayed here for a business trip, which means I was up early for work most of the…More »

This hotel gets a 3.5 but I am rounding up because the good outweighs the bad.
The Good-
Location, location, location!
This hotel is located right off of Queen St. which is a fantastic area for shops, cafes/restaurants and basic needs.
My room was quiet,…More »

Drugstores

Listen, I am not one to review drug stores, gas stations, etc. But this place, to an American girl, was like heaven on earth!

11. Trimurti Indian Cuisine
Toronto, ON M5V 1Z4
Canada
(416) 645-0286
I was in the mood for Indian and coincidentally, the gentleman working at my hotel was of Indian decent and suggested I try out Trimurti.
What a great suggestion! I typically gauge my ethnic food ventures by looking at the patrons in the…More »

Bars,
Brasseries
Neighbourhood: Distillery District
This is a good place in the Distillery District if you are looking for a hearty meal and some good craft brewed beer to complement it.
I was a bit bummed when I realized their samplers were pre-set and you could not customize them. However, I saw the…More »
