1. Jacobs & Co. Steakhouse
Best. Steak. Ever.
I'm not a huge fan of steaks and such, but after having the 6oz sirlion, it was melting in my mouth, it was soooo tender.
No need to get the super expensive kobe beef. Meat is a bit tougher, and I'm sure other places have it for…More »

Category:
Turkish
Neighbourhood: Etobicoke
Oh wow. Turkish Delight is right. Came here because I was searching for something near my friend's work. Right at the corner of Kipling and Dundas, this hidden gem was a place you have to try. 5 stars all the way, and it lived up to it's Yelp…More »

Came here for brunch with girl friends and expected it to be pretentious and trendy. I was pleasently surprised by the fresh look and friendly staff. Us girls sat there for about 3 hours chatting and sipping coffee and it was the perfect venue.

After hearing so much about Negroni from fellow Yelpers, I was pleasently surprised that it was quiet during Taste of Little Italy. It was the perfect place to sit and have a meal and escape the crowds. The big windows were open and we could enjoy…More »

Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
I have not a bad thing to say about the place! And it all started from the prompt (1 min delay) when they called me back after a left a message for a reservation.
You walk in, and it's like you've entered into another world. It's like the old town in…More »

Breakfast & Brunch

Last meal ever at Hoof Cafe today before it goes to the deadpool *tear* Everyone walking out of the place was sad !!!!
Still one of the best (and fattiest) brunches I've ever had, but needs to be had at least once.
We went at 11:30 and told it was a…More »

7. 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 »
8. Sandstone Grillhouse
I am so happy that I found this place!
After scouring the internet looking for a good, decent priced, with good atmosphere, that doesn't look ghetto from the outside, I found this one. I'm not sure why all the restuarants north Lundys Lane and the…More »
9. Little Sheep Hot Pot
I'm not sure what's so monoglian about it, except that they have some different "herbal soups" including one for "affectionate couples". (I'm not sure what the chinese read, but I'm sure it means something!)
However, it was pretty good. AYCE style,…More »

When this place first opened, I would give it a 4. I would give it now a 3 to 3.5
I liked that it catered to a different niche at Bayview Village when it first opened. There wasn't much choice is food at the time, Il Fornello, Chinese place, A&W, and…More »
11. Paradise Fine Chinese Dining
The food here is amazing. We come here all the time with my family.
But I was really disappointed in the service we got last night.
We booked off a room/section of the restaurant for this special occasion (which was min charge for food) and so I assume…More »

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 »
13. Seasons
We've been coming here for every [Parent's] Day for the last two years or so. At $50+ a person, I really expect more from them.
Mother's Day was great, and food had variety and lots of selection. They had an odd thing, instead of a omelette station,…More »

Saturday morning. 11am. Wow this place is incredibly busy. With only a handful of seats here, don't be surprised by a 10 min wait, or you can cozy up to the 4 seats in the bar area.
It's interesting how if you want to add or delete items from their…More »

15. Katsura Japanese Restaurant Westin Prince Toronto
Fresh, best sashami I've had in a long time, and just a unique and different take on japanese food, more traditional, more attention to detail, in both presentation and taste.
I came here tonight with my parents because of Andrew A's review. I forgot…More »
16. L'express
I was in Montreal for work, and my mom visited me and asked if we can go somewhere with authentic French Food. This was a recommendation from a co-worker and it was SO good!
The small place on St. Denis immediately gave you a Parisien feel. The food…More »

I guss I had high hopes for this restaurant when I took my mom for Mother's Day. With all the rave reviews, I expected excellent service, big portions and excellent food. I was slightly disappointed by all.

Neighbourhoods: University of Toronto, Downtown Core
Situated at UofT, over looking the Great Hall in Hart House, the Gallery Grill is a small place, and a great find!
It seemed like it was only locals in the restaurant. It was full of families, dates and older folk. What I liked about the venue is that…More »
19. Ding Tai Fung
yum. Good prices, good food.
On a rainy sunday evening, the wait wasn't too long for a table.
They have 3 different kinds of xiao long baos, and they were super fresh and warm, full of juices.
All kinds of shanghainese dim sum, and other main plates.…More »

Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park
Mixed feelings about the place. And I tried really hard not to compare it to Black Hoof, but I can't help it. It's along the same genre of food.
It IS however, a great addition to the uptown repetioire of restaurants. There's not around here like…More »

The place was fun, friendly, and good food. I agree with some comments that the meats could have been better quality, but for what it's worth - it was quite a good time for a family outing.
The bonus was the Samba ladies shaking their tail feathers…More »
22. Ematei Japanese Restaurant
I thought it was excellent. Once walking through the doors you feel like you've been transported into a japanese izakaya.
I was excited to bring my parents here to try some more aunthentic japanese food, as opposed to the chinese version we get.
They…More »

It's a bit pricey, but it's totally worth it. Portions are small, but if you're looking for fresh fish, this is the place. I did not regret spending $40 for my 15 piece sashimi and half a hotate butter, however, I think on my next visit I'll…More »
24. Paris Crepes Bistro
For me to walk out of a place and rave about it, and immediately want to go back and have everything else on the menu is rare. But this place has definitely made the cut! Oh NomNomNom Gee!!!
I think this has to be the best crepe I've ever had. On par…More »

Wow, I"m surprised I haven't written a review about this yet, but let me preface it by saying that I haven't been since last summer, but it has always been a favourite since I discovered it at least 5 years ago.
It's a real bistro atmosphere, even…More »

How do I describe? it's like Owl of Minerva + BCDST + House of Soon Tofu + any chinese owned Korean/Japanese place - Chinese owned and all other non Korean food + ironcast Unagi and Kastus
That probably made no sense. Let me elaborate.
