1. Red Rose Patisserie
I would say it's the best Persian pastry sit down place in Toronto except I don't know how valid that would be since I only know of this one!
Their pastries might not be the BEST but if you're not looking to buy boxes and boxes for Eid and just want…More »

Categories:
Lounges,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
Came here for lunch to take out a friend for his birthday and I'm impressed yet again! The food wasn't "especially" breathtaking - it was pretty good but the service is what made the lunch and they oversee every part of your meal! Another thing, they…More »

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Came back here to hang out and have some shisha and I have to say, the people that work here by far provide the best service for a place like this.
Oh and also I made a mistake, the shisha prices are $13, and $5 for a refill. If you're looking for…More »

4. The Indian Kitchen
Great Indian place, most memorable was their fresh naan... mmm... service was quick and courteous however the only issue was when we were being seating, our server was being yelled at by another Indian family. Something about them only caring about…More »
5. Super Khorak
Great place for grabbing persian spices, groceries, goodies and take-out!
Usually when I come here it's to grab:
1) Paloodeh - a frozen rose water & noodle dessert, mix it with some fresh lemon juice and you have the PERFECT hot summer dessert
2)…More »
6. Sporting Life
I've only really come here looking for winter sport equipment and this is THE place. Given it also probably carries the most expensive equipment in Toronto but given the selection, the really really helpful staff and the quality of the equipment, you…More »
7. Cineplex Odeon Sheppard Grande
Haven't been here for a long time but I was quite surprised with their renovations (don't know how long ago it was that they were done). The theatres are HUGE and they have REALLY REALLY comfy rocking seats that most other Cineplex's don't have. Lots…More »

Toronto, ON M4W 3Y8
(416) 926-7555
Categories:
Desserts,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Yorkville
Funny story, I was really feeling like having crepes this morning and thought I might head over to Crepes a Go Go. Google Maps showed me it was right on the corner of Yorkville and Yonge and I just ran to the corner. I ended up completely overlooking…More »
9. Arrabiata Trattoria
Yonge street is one of the busiest streets on Toronto and yet I really wonder why the selection is mostly horrible along the street! Lucky for us, it seems to be heading in the right direction with Arrabiata. From outside it doesn't look like…More »
10. Bibim Q
Toronto, ON M4Y 1Z4
(416) 922-6367
Great Korean restaurant is all that needs to be said. If you want a completely meal, noodles, rice, meat, veggies, etc, etc come here and get it all! It's cheap, it tastes great and it'll fill you up!
11. Toko
Toronto, ON M4Y 1Z5
(416) 436-9943
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
Toko is a clean Japanese (probably run by Koreans given the menu - they have Kalbi and Bulgogi too) place with a Sushi-go-round as well as a full menu of sushi, entrees, noodles, etc.
Price is just a teeny-weeny bit more than other places that have…More »

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Came here for lunch today and was pleasantly surprised with this place. They have a really nice secluded patio just off Yonge street and they have really good food. I had their lunch special which was an open faced chicken sandwich with a whole wadda…More »
13. The Second Cup
I really like this Second Cup. Especially with the way it's laid out, it makes for a very cozy coffee / meetup place. It's always busy and if you can manage to get the comfy couches you're set! Especially in the winter you can grab your coffee, sit…More »

Toronto, ON M5B 1R4
(416) 506-8882
Category:
Fashion
Neighbourhoods: Ryerson, Downtown Core
I personally REALLY like this Guess location, not only because of their clothes and their clearance section which you can actually find a decent shirt or two in but most importantly is that they have a DJ at night at spins LIVE house (usually) music…More »

Hair Salons
Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park
Just went there today to get my haircut and Fiorio's is probably the only place I've consistently gone back to for the past 8 or so months now so I'd say they are doing a pretty good job!!
I get my haircuts from Eric and he knows what he's doing and…More »

Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant and Davisville
If you buy your bike from this place they give you lifetime free maintenance!! SWEET! Everytime I've gone into this store I've gotten very good service and the turn around times on their maintenance is about 3 days which isn't too big of a deal for…More »
17. Ruchi Indian Cuisine
**3.5 Stars **
Great Indian food for a Yonge St. Strip type restaurant. I'm taking stars off due to the slow service though. Took nearly 40 minutes to get our food and we were the only people in the restaurant. Also I was dissapointed that their…More »
18. Ginger
Ginger is a love and hate type thing. It is really cheap (full meal for $6-7) but it really is bland. I tried the pork vermicelli and a crispy spring roll and it wasn't anything great. It is cheap though so I can't complain - actually wait - the…More »

Toronto, ON M4Y 1X9

Category:
Persian/Iranian
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
I'll have to retract a bit of my excitement this time around. I wanted to go and get some good persian food that I'm lacking from back home but unfortunately Tempus didn't deliver.
I found their chicken kebobs to be... not what they're supposed to…More »

20. Ritz Caribbean Food
This is a 3.5 stars for me. Initially when I walked in and heard the music blasting I wasn't too happy as I could barely communicate my order to the people behind the counter. It didn't get better when I found out a chicken roti is like 8 freaking…More »
21. Zaffron Restaurant
I was going to write a nasty review about how expensive this place is in comparison to other Persian restaurants around it but Trout's right. If it's your first time trying Iranian food then this place would be a good place to start. They've made…More »
22. Chipotle Mexican Grill
Toronto, ON M5B 1R7
(416) 596-8600
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhoods: Ryerson, Downtown Core
While I like the type of place Chipotle is, and it's what I'd like to see more of on Yonge street instead of all the crappy shops no one ever goes to, I was still hoping for a bit more.
This is essentially just a fast food burrito / Taco place. I'm…More »
23. Jugo Juice Eatons Center
Toronto, ON M5B 2H1
(416) 977-8278
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Catching on the craze of super expensive healthy shakes / smoothies / slushies, Jugo Juice takes on a challenge with providing very little difference.
Yeah their menu is different from Booster but I mean they're all the same but worded (or should I…More »
24. Owl of Minerva
Cheap prices, great food, open late, I actually don't mind this place (I'm stuck between a 3 or a 4 star).
With mini Korea Town (Yonge and Finch area) being filled with Korean restaurants, this place is actually pretty cool.
Definitely not a fancy…More »
25. St. Louis Bar & Grill
Toronto, ON M4Y 1X9
(416) 792-9464
Categories:
Barbeque,
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
This is a very 'meh' place. At first I thought "El Hornero" would serve some sort of Spanish or Argentinian (judging by what is on the cover on their menu and staff) but nope, it's really just an Italian place in disguise.
Prices are okay, around…More »
26. Not Just Noodles
I had heard a lot about this place and it's goodness of cheap Chinese food, but I was slightly disappointed when I had some takeout. I got the Chicken w/ Black Bean sauce with fried rice noodles for takeout and although I was impressed that it didn't…More »

Category:
Chicken Wings
Neighbourhood: Willowdale
I really don't get the hype about St. Louis and their wings.. there's only 3 flavours, they're super small and not anything worth their price. If you don't go for the wings however this is a pretty nice sports bar to watch soccer / hockey games at…More »

Buffalo has lost it's appeal to me but this isn't a review about Buffalo per say but more about this location.
The staff here is very friendly, but generally Buffalo has outdone itself here. Most of the time, this place is empty and it seems they…More »
29. Sobeys
Holy freakin expensive. For a small Sobey's the markup on most products were crazy! The fruits and vegetables had obviously been there for DAYS and were starting to go bad, they have a very small selection of items.
Not much else to say. There's a…More »

Being an engineering student, I usually spend my weekends working in labs and the intensive hours of clicking on a computer works up quite an appetite. I suddenly had this urge for Thai food however for some oddly strange reason, it seems every…More »
