This simple unpretentious micro-restaurant is a fantastic spot for veggies and vegans to bring their omnivorous friends. Not because of the availability of animal products; just because they wont actually miss them!

Hibiscus was on my list of spots…More »

The tale of two SIDMRs. Yup- if they have the vrashan to give a little restaurant on Bloor West a five word name, then I'm going to do the proper thing and reduce them to an acronym. This is not about acrimony; I'm a professional.

The first SIDMR is…More »

This place works for me - relatively fast, cheap, healthy food. Not a lover of chain anything, there are times when we are all faced with Sophies Choice of lunch; Chain Restaurant or Wait Until Dinner. I chose life! Well, at least in the case of…More »

Sigh. Like it's namesake, this cafe has some great functionality and a rather clumsy user interface. Slightly out of the way with all of the charm one would expect of such a place....but...there's this overarching feeling that the whole thing is…More »

I'm the first to admit that I don't really look like I belong in any type of vegan-y, vegetarian-y venue. When I hurled my hulking carcass and freshly buzzed head into Rawlicious this evening the waitstaff looked a tad uneasy. Just as one was about…More »

Recently updated lists from Howard H.

Indian Eats; Sub-Continental Divide (5) This is a list of some of the many popular spots offering foods of the Indian sub-continent. Indian of various regions, Pakistani (of various regions) Sri Lankan and Bangladesh - all are well represented in the GTA so this list will inevitably keep on growing....	Cheap Eats of Bloor West (11) Budgetary constraints? Of course! Culinary constraints? Never! Here's a selection of some places to indulge in the sport of paupers - eating on the cheap.
Montreal Hotels (5) My life requires a fairly obscene amount of hotel nights per year and Montreal is one city where I enjoy spreading the love, er, sleeping around - no - wait - staying in a wide variety of establishments throughout the city. Yes, that's it. Here are some reviews of those establishments.	Tour D' Roti (5) One of the many benefits of living in the most multicultural major city on planet earth is that we are constantly spoiled for choice in thing culinary. Other big cities may have a good roti shop or two, but we have dozens, if not hundreds. Roti from the West Indies to the East Indies, from Guyana to Malaysia - they are all represented with pride here in Toronto. I am going to do my best to list the best as I discover them.
Meet the Meat (5) Places to patronize in order to satiate your inner carnivore, or to placate the mammal murdering S.O.B. you just happen to love.
