Best spots to eat when you're in my area (aka, enough about downtown!) Let's shower some love in the North York/York Mills area!

(416) 222-2220

Category: French

5.0 star rating
  4/10/2011 ROTD 4/11/2012

Auberge is consistently ranked as one of the best restaurants in the city, and I whole heartedly agree. I have been there many times but I will write based on a recent outing for my birthday.

Intro. Auberge has the look of charm and elegance and as…More »

 2. Seasons

900 York Mills Rd
Toronto, ON M3B

4.0 star rating
  10/7/2011

I don't know why I have never discovered the Season's oyster plate at their brunch before. One Sunday, my dad, my boyfriend and I came here for brunch and I was not expecting much, other than the usual fanfare of waffles, pancakes, sausages, creamed…More »

 3. David Duncan House

125 Moatfield Dr
North York, ON M3B 3L6
(416) 391-1424

Category: Canadian (New)

5.0 star rating
  Update - 10/5/2011

Our family came here last night for our weekly gathering. My grandfather, who was footing the bill, decided to up it a notch since our relatives from Hong Kong/Taiwan were here. I hate to admit it, but as soon as I opened the menu, I didn't know what…More »

    David Duncan, from a far, looks like a ginger bread house. It is oddly placed in the middle of… Read more »

 4. Fabbrica

49 Karl Fraser Rd
Toronto, ON M3C 0E5
(416) 391-0707

Category: Italian

5.0 star rating
  Update - 10/6/2011

Since my last review on Fabbrica, and since the summer, my opinion of this restaurant has changed drastically - This restaurant has now become my family's canteen and go to restaurant (and especially since Lai Toh Heen has closed). Over the summer,…More »

    Fabbrica has been rated by Toronto Life recently as the number 8 best new restaurant in the city. It… Read more »

 5. Windfield's Restaurant

801 York Mills Rd
North York, ON M3B 1X7
(416) 445-1630
4.0 star rating
  Update - 10/19/2011

I have been coming here frequently and is now my favourite new coffee spot. The waitresses know my family now so they always reserve a corner booth for us. For those who really like their breakfasts, as in all day breakfast, you can do no wrong with…More »

    Windfield's is a recent discovery for me, although the restaurant has been around for many years.… Read more »

 6. Katsura Japanese Restaurant Westin Prince Toronto

900 York Mills Rd
North York, ON M3B 3H2
(416) 444-2511

Category: Japanese

4.0 star rating
  4/17/2011

What do I do when I am craving yummy Japanese food, but don't feel like going all the way downtown to Nami? Katsura.

Intro. It has been almost 5-6 years since my family last went to Katsura. I briefly read other reviews and have to agree that there…More »

 7. Ichiban Fish House

15 Spring Garden Ave
North York, ON M2N 3G1
(416) 512-9014

Categories: Seafood, Japanese

Neighbourhood: Willowdale

4.0 star rating
  10/2/2011

Ichiban Fish House is one of those restaurants that I always pass by. Nothing against it, but in my mind, it is one of those same-old-same-old Japanese places that serve the usual fanfare of Bento Boxes A1-Z1, California Hand Rolls, and Fried Tofu.…More »

 8. Keg Steakhouse & Bar

1977 Leslie St
Toronto, ON M3B 2N3
(416) 446-1045

Category: Steakhouses

3.0 star rating
  10/4/2011

Now I haven't been to many Keg locations, just the one at Yonge and Shep (now kaputz), one in Niagara Falls (great view), and the Keg Mansion (meh) but I do have to agree with Imran N., that this is one of the better Keg locations! Even when the…More »

Toronto, ON M4W 2L8
(416) 925-4020

Category: Italian

Neighbourhood: Rosedale

4.0 star rating
  2/7/2012

I am ambivalent towards the Terroni chains, as I really loved the now closed location at St. Clair (my usual lunch spot when I worked in the area), but didn't particulary like the Adelaide E. location. However, I really liked Bar Centrale/Terroni.…More »
