Living in a sheltered world growing up, Ackee was not part of my lexicon. I even went to Jamaica to a resort and the only "jamaican food" I ate was dry rice and beans- not so appealing. Then, I discovered Ackee Tree. I first tried one of the…More »

Gorgeous building in which to do your physiotherapy and get a massage. The physiotherapists are also quite nice to look at... :) They have a ton of rooms and always seemed busy, but still had appointments when I needed them- just before or after…More »

I'm a big fam of B2 for both Men and Women's footwear.
The men's section offers pointy-toes galore and some nice Italian leather. They have also bumped up the selection of Puma tennys and similar knock-offs. The Women's section offers some fancy…More »

Le Gourmand once had "conditional pass" sign in the Window. Minus one star... The croissants are not the best in town, but are good. Coffee is great. In the winter, it might be too hot and in the summer, it might be too cold. There are temperature…More »
What a hidden gem! Behind Crush Wine Bar (which I haven't tried since the new gastro-pub concept) is a courtyard in front of Brassaii. It is a long, narrow restaurant with an open kitchen prep area on the right side. A private dining room in the back…More »

Circa is owned by the 'former' King of NYC nightlife. I'm impressed. He got kicked out of the US and moved back to open a great Toronto event space. He has succeeded at opening a venue that is a destination for tourists. I think Clubland could use a…More »
I've been going here for 4 years and they know their coloring and cutting. Prices are on par with other nice salons. Unfortunately, my people here keep leaving or cutting back on hours. All the nurses I work with went to Joy for coloring- well they…More »

"Ahhh, Ms T" The greeting I get every time I enter. I also love that they call my husband by my last name, even though he has a different name! They always clean my items flawlessly and have gotten some pretty nasty stuff out of some pretty delicate…More »

Downtown Lumber does it all! I'm not so handy when it comes to home repair, renovations or DIY. So, I'm constantly looking for the plumber or electrician who isn't going to rip you off and isn't going to take 3 trips on your dime to fix minor things.…More »
For quick eats Hosu has bento style dinner specials for around $5. For sushi, the platinum combo has spicy tuna rolls, dynamite rolls and too much for one person to finish. For Korean food, the spicy tofu stew here is my fave. It is sweaty chin and…More »

This is a great everything boutique for women. My go-to place when I need a fancy 'party-dress', jeans, or sexy tops. While searching through many one-of-a-kind type pieces, one thing might be $30, the next $300. So, really nice if have a bit of a…More »

Lululemon started in Canada with designers and production all in Canada on the West coast. However, they have now moved manufacturing to China- :( The cost, of course has not gone down as much as labor costs have gone down. But, nonetheless the…More »
I could eat Indian food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I've eaten 2 out of the 3 at Trimurti and I'll get dinner there almost once a week. The staff are all quite nice and will help you with the menu, if you don't know your pakora from your…More »

For the record: This is the original location of the restaurant formerly- known-as- Burrito Boyz. The original two owners who created the deliciousness of a Toronto-style grilled burrito have split up. One kept the original name, one the original…More »

Molecular gastronomy is making it big in NYC and was even featured on Top Chef. Drinks using gels and foams and "airs" are all found at Bar Chef. This place is crazy! Drink prices start high for some of the cooler items on the menu. I am told they…More »

I can't imagine a better coffee shop! Dark Horse on Queen East caught my eye months ago and I had stopped in to check out the scene, taste an organic pastry and taste the coffee. It's a nice shop, but the Spadina location is even better. Lucky folks…More »
