I went this Saturday night for an early dinner with some friends. I didn't have a reservation and was told that they were completely booked with reservations for Winterlicious. No biggie - I figured I'd wait for my friends to arrive and we'd go…More »

Bonjour, you've redeemed yourself and earned the 5 stars I know you deserve.

I went with the quiche that I know and love and it didn't disappoint. My friend ordered the french toast. It's hearty serving so she shared some of it with me - that is some…More »

Hidden gem alert!

Excellent, authentic Thai food (menu also features some Malaysian and Burmese dishes)

The decor was, well, non-existent - but you don't go to places like this for the decor - you go there for the tastiest green curry this side of the…More »

Incredible sushi value on the Danforth.

The vegetarian bento box comes with a cucumber roll, miso soup, salad, veg tempura, tofu, rice and a dumpling for under $8.00! I rarely finish it, but it's such a great value I can't help but order it!

By far my fave nail spot in the east end.

Totally affordable ($35 mani/pedis) and the service is top notch.

The decor is clean and modern - it looks nice enough that you might think it costs more than it does. The staff are all very friendly and will…More »

A frankly great brunch.

When my girlfriend described it as "Indian fusion brunch" - I didn't really know what to expect. What you should expect is really delicious food and fantastic service.

I had the "Rockin' Risotto" special which was a jalapeno and…More »

I'd absolutely recommend Greenwood Park Animal Hospital.

The vets and their staff are all extremely warm, personable and clearly care about the well-being of your pets. We've seen Dr. Hammond and Dr. Munn - great experiences with both.

When our little…More »

I tried Quad East as a relative newbie to the spinning world, but I think it's safe to say that I'm hooked on Quad.

I'm not sure if it's the instructors, the beautiful industrial space, the music, or the fact that I sweat more here than ever in my…More »

Really really ridiculously good thai take-out.

My bf brought home the special pad thai and green curry with chicken for dinner this week. Scored a few brownie points with that one.

Curry was not at all greasy and had a great amount of spice. The…More »

I have a crush on Stout.

We were looking for a bar walking distance to the Phoenix when I stumbled upon the Stout.  Lucky me.

The menu includes a great selection of classic pub grub dishes - everything from fish & chips to mac n cheese. I would…More »

The only downside about this place is that somehow I've only just discovered it!

My friend and I walked in around 11:00am on a Saturday after a workout. The restaurant was reasonably busy but there was no line-up - a welcome change for weekend brunch…More »
