Awesome little Greek bakery.  This place is a small café/bakery. They have all of the typical sweets and pies.  I've been here a few times and they always seem to have something fresh coming out of the oven and it's always full of people speaking…More »

Just amazing. This is by far the best Greek restaurant I have been to, and probably among the best in the city.   The menu is apparently inspired by the home-cooked meals of the owners' roots in Greece.  Although I did have a usually generic dish,…More »

Whenever people used to tell me "If there are lots of Chinese people in a Chinese restaurant then you know it is good", I used to just shrug and think it was just a perception thing.

I walk into this place and it's full of white people and Walmart…More »

Great mix of different types of stands. Various meat, cheese, produce, wool, food vendors.  Everyone is friendly and proud of their products and take the time to explain where they come from and how they are grown/raised.

The prices are typical, and…More »

3.0 star rating
  11/6/2011

The key to this place is the number of TV's and selection of sports.  They show all the fights, from UFC to Boxing events to Soccer.  Don't come here for the food, come here if you want a place that isn't mega packed and you want a seat for a…More »

This place has great Dim Sum. Mind you it was my first time having Dim Sum, however I really enjoyed it and my experienced friend said it was pretty good stuff.

There is no lady push cart thing, but this is better because you order exactly what you…More »

  11/8/2011

This pub is what I imagine a pub would be like in the UK in the 80's.  I don't care of I'm right or wrong, but that's what it I feel, haha.  The old carpet, the old wooden tables, the carpeted walls with old crests and photos.  The old musty smell,…More »

1. Great view from any seat.
2. Lots of washrooms.
3. Reasonably priced vendors.
4. Multiple driver trailer locations around…More »

4.0 star rating

If you have a craving for a fast food burger, please please make it this place.  It's obviously can't compare to some of the other gourmet burger places in town, but compared to the major burger chains, Hero blows them away.

They have a decent…More »

Great gym!  Small but very effective.  Lots of squat racks and free weights. Very few of those useless machines.  The owner is frequently present and will correct you if you are not using proper form.  His help has really motivated me to keep coming…More »

Great fish and chips.  They don't have a huge menu, but with how good their Halibut fish and chips are, they don't need anything else.  It seems to be a family run place. Everyone is friendly, the place is clean and the food is prepared quickly.

Even…More »

I came in here for lunch when I forgot my packed lunch at home.  I figured I would give it a shot since I've been trying to eat healthier lately.

The place is very clean and has a fresh smell to it.  On one end of the counter is a salad display, and…More »
