After all that we've been through
It comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me, after aaaaaaall.

I know you've all heard this song before. Don't judge me, this is a classic. Peter Cetera would totally understand that this song…More »

    This is my favourite of all the Guu restaurants. It's the least noisy of them all, it's brightly lit… Read more »

A friend took me here claiming it to be the best gelato he's ever had. He said he and his wife now refuse to have gelato anywhere else in the city. So, I mean, you have to try it right? Cuz that's a pretty bold statement.

Late on a Sunday we stopped…More »

5.0 star rating
  3/2/2011

When I'm feeling up for some fancier sushi at a great price, I can easily count on Kadoya for consistently good good. It's apparently so good that my friend from the t-dot, who's only been here a week, has eaten at this establishment three times…More »

4.0 star rating
  Update - 10/12/2011

I haven't had Santouka since June and was craving it something fierce, so finally I not-so-subtly suggested my favourite ramen joint when a bunch of us were deciding where to dine.

I happily showed up at 6:30pm with another friend who was already…More »

I went here two times in one week - once to try the the mussels special on Tuesday and again on the weekend to try the brunch. This place is becoming a fast favourite! I came on Tuesday after an evening run thinking I'd be able to polish off a whole…More »

How have I not written a review for this place? I eat here all the time, and I take all my out of towners here to experience the joy that is sushi on the west coast. Sure there are plenty of places that are of better quality, but for the price you…More »

Oh Stanley, you're the heart of this city and you know it. Don't be modest. You know that while we love Granville Island for it's hustle and bustle of local markets and hand-made crafts and buskers, you are the first thing people equate the city to.…More »

3.0 star rating

There's a soft spot for the Quay! It's close to home, and on a sunny day the view out from here is beautiful! The market is fun, and I've got a soft spot in my heart for Screaming Mimi's. Definitely a place for an afternoon date, though if you've…More »

Recently updated lists from Theresa W.

Dim Sum! (20)

I love dim sum. I will gladly wake up early on a weekend to go try a new dim sum place out. If you're lacking a vehicle like I am, then perhaps some of these places may interest you when you get a dumpling itch? If I can get there san-car, so can you!

Izakayas! (6)

There are so many in the city, I've still got to try them all.

Sushi! (23)

You can't come to this city without going to a sushi joint. And there are many. This might take a while.

Japanese Noodle and Rice Shops! (4)

Delicious (and sometimes brothy) goodness in a bowl. The best kind of meal.

Diners, Drive-In and Dives (2)

Chasing after the show, one restaurant at a time.

ROTD! (3)

I'm so proud! Please don't think any less of me...

2012 Best Of (9)

The winners of 2012!

Toronto Love (23)

The places I stop when I visit my hometown! :)

The Underdogs (6)

April 2012 Challenge: Review some hidden gems that have less than 10 reviews every day for the month of April. I'll try my best!

Pho Party! (6)

Gearing up for some good comfy Vietnamese food? Me too! Let's meet up!
