Absolute Comedy is a fantastic comedy club. I've been to this location twice now (once with a group of 20, and once with just 4 four of us), as well as the Ottawa location. All three times I've left quite impressed.
Keep in mind, you should make…More »

Coffee & Tea

This place surprised me, in a very good way.
We ordered a coffee and cappuccino and grabbed a seat at the last available table (it was Saturday afternoon and the place was absolutely packed).

Two one star reviews?! Eep, I'm glad I haven't eaten sandwiches here before.
In my opinion their coffee and cappuccino's are great, especially on the patio in the summer and they have a good selection of traditional Italian desserts.

Let the raving begin!
I love cheese and this place has an impressive selection. The sales staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and will let you sample as many cheeses as you'd like before you buy. Beware though, they are a bit on the pushy side and you…More »
I came here with a few girl friends on a Friday night and we were kept very happy all night long.
It is an absolute MUST to order the fresh cut salsa and homemade nacho chips. For $2.99 the portion is massive and they are absolutely delicious.

First let me start by saying this is NOT a place to sit and drink tea. They have two small tables but it feels super awkward to drink you tea here, I think it's meant more as a waiting area. They do take-out tea and tea latte's though.
As an…More »

One of the few pub patios in the area that gets a fair amount of sun in the summer (a lot of the rest are shady from all the tall buildings in the area).

This place is NOT my favourite pub in the area, it just always feels a bit dirty. I love a good dark dank pub but this one misses the mark feeling grungy and open rather than dark and cozy.
It's pretty small inside. I've ordered Nachoes and wings here…More »

This is a pretty typical greasy breakfast place serving your standard breakfast options at a reasonable price.
Our waitress was a lady in her 50's who was pleasant enough, but busy and the service wasn't too bad either.
I slightly prefer Mars Uptown…More »
The Granite Brewery surprised me. I have walked by this place a hundred times before and my impression from the outside has always been that it's just an old dive desperately in need of a makeover that never gets much business. The reality is…More »

I've been intrigued by this place for ages. The minimalism decor is lovely and gives the restaurant a crisp clean feel. It seems like the kind of place where the food is foremost. Unfortunately the food had almost no taste.…More »

This Metro is fine, if you're looking for the best supermarket there is this isn't it, but if it's convenient I'd go ahead and shop here, there is nothing wrong with the food.

A good take out pizza should be a little bit greasy, but not too greasy. It should have good crust and the toppings should taste delicious. This pizza joint meets that criteria to a T.

In terms of set up, they got this place right. They have a nice patio outside for evenings in the summer (not great for the day though because it is shady) and a mix of high top tables and bench seating inside.
They must do live music regularly…More »
