Who can argue with 4$ breakfast caesars? If you want to argue with that, you can try a 3$ mimosa instead and see if that pleases your palate. This is one of my favourite brunch places - the food is good, it's bustling and comfortable, and what's not…More »

Victory is great. A comfortable, down-to-earth pub that makes the city feel a bit less like a big shiny metropolis to me (that's good). Lots of yummy local beers, good food, and a big patio that is one of my very favourite places to relax as a summer…More »

I love ciro's for what it is: a gem of a dive bar that delivers with a comfortable atmosphere and food that's better than you expect when you walk in.

The first time I went I was surprised by the funky interior on an otherwise sort of grungy street…More »

This is a good place to go in the afternoon to drink far to much coffee and fill up on cheap food while working on essays. It's also a good place to go in the evening with a friend to spend a long time sipping sangria and chatting. It's even good for…More »

I spent one hazy evening here last summer, drinking the most amazing margaritas (traditional lime with top notch tequila). When we needed a change we moved on to delerium tremens on tap, a rare delight. We ate some nibblies from the tapas menu, all…More »

I've spent many an evening at c'est what, including last night and have always enjoyed myself. It's cozy and comfy. Service varies from competent and pleasant enough to neglectful and rude, depending on the night. Last night was a good one. The…More »

The decor is funky and fun - lots of old Elvis kitsch and rockabilly accesorries. Despite the interior being so very excellent, I rarely sit inside at the caddy. Who would, when the patio is so big and wonderful?

My favourite place for brunch in this…More »
