(416) 551-8854
Category:
Gastropubs
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Trinity Bellwoods
4.5 star review. Only because it doesn't take reseravations and we waited (a very tolerable) 1 hr across the street at the hoof cafe, and the bathroom smelt funny.
I knew it would be a wait, but we got there at 8pm and we were told there was a 1.5 hr…More »
2. Carens Wine & Cheese Bar
I love this place. It's my first choice when I'm in Yorkville and looking for somewhere to have a nice drink or dessert, or get a meal.
It's reasonably priced (for Yorkville) and it's something different.
I love the patio (but in front and in the…More »

Bars
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Queen Street West, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
I'd give it a 4 if it wasn't for slow service and portion size/$ value combined....
It's a cute small place, excellent for drinks and a bite to eat. To my surprise, I would have say this is designed to be a place less for sharing, per say, but more…More »
4. Ezra's Pound
I love both locations of Ezra's and this was my first time here.
Lots of good coffee tea and pastry selections - would rather come here and S*****cks. They have best sea salt and chocolate cookie (still warm!) ever.
I also like the seating which is…More »

When I discovered this place it became my new pre-club, pre-theatre restaurant venue. (the old was was the brasserie which unfortunately closed down and is now a Jack Astors).
I love that the place has character, and this unique feel. Inside, it's…More »

Food is excellent. Location is great. The servers were friendly and generally prompt. Never fails to please.
You can get reservations here, but I called aobut 3 days before, and they were not taking any more for around 730. We got there at 8pm and…More »

Tea's are a…More »

8. C'est What?
Toronto, ON M5E 1B5
(416) 867-9499
I'm really like the food selection here. I have all these dietary restrictions, and they have so many different choices and variety of foods. Also they don't make a big deal about substitutions.
At the same time I was really craving all the yummy…More »
9. Bedford Academy
A non-pub alternative for something close to Yorkville, but not really.
The atmosphere is relaxed and casual. Not pretentious, but up a level from the usual.
The portions are generous, and the prices are $$. They have a regular dinner selection, with…More »

After hearing raving reviews about this place from the last (and missed) elite event, I had to find a time to check it out!
Driving along at night, we almost missed it. It's in the Brazen Head pub plaza. Free parking after 6pm in front, or around the…More »

Oh wow. Could this crepe place be better than Crepes a gogo ? This might be very true. And what more is that it's got seating, a great place for dessert and coffee and it's open late. (Sunday night and we were there til 11 and it was still going…More »

I like it. We were looking for a breakfast place close by to the Distillery, and aside from Boiler House and another closed place, If you're deciding between here and Fran's, I would come here, no question.
The decor is modern and clean. They were…More »

So yummy. I had the Creamy Tomato Sauce Rigitoni with Pancetta, a la Vodka, Green Onion and Chilli. I loved it because it wasn't super creamy, but had that texture. It was so yummy that the waitress made fun of me because I had to finish the sauce…More »

I really liked the place, and I don't understand why the rating as of today is so low! I knew Madelaine D. couldn't be wrong.
We came here for a late brunch on a Saturday morning. They don't take reservations for less than 5 people, but we were able…More »

Still a fan, but not a fan of waiting :(
We waited 30 mins for our food after ordering, so much for a quick lunch place. It would be nice to pick up the pace so that we can come here for a quick bite to eat before returning to the grind.
Opted out of…More »

I love unique and quirky places that have character, especially if they have good food to go with it. Merryberry is definitely fits into this category and was a great place for a bunch of us to grab a late lunch.
What's nice is that I was able to…More »
