I love the Adelaide street location. If you walk by, you may miss it (but it's right beside Khao San Road).  

Really beautiful communal wooden table that I want for my kitchen right in the middle of the space and a lovely hidden outdoor patio in…More »

It's not as small as I thought. And its across from Rosedale station (not Summerhill...though I appreciated the detour of wine tasting at the local liquor store).
My guess is there are very long line ups at lunch so I opted for dinner time and…More »

When I plan a trip, I like to part-plan and part-leave my findings up to the universe. I never researched Meat and Bread despite its press but able to stumble upon it while walking over to the Vancouver Convention Centre. It was karmic…More »

Nothing beats a drizzly Saturday afternoon than a grilled cheese sammie. I was craving the Los Angeles so I headed down since I hadn't been since its inception two months ago.

It was gooey and ooey and hit every sweet and sour spot. Yumo!

This tiny Italian sandwich spot is one of the best things to happen to the gentrification of Dundas West and for good reason: their sandwiches are delicious! Though many a hipster may pop in, I see a lot of foodies and local restaurant owners…More »

I went here last week with a foodie friend.

VIBE: This place, which was the old Oddfellows, really does feel like a farmhouse: wood encompasses the interiors and there's a very cool collage of photos representing Cumbrae farms, where County General…More »

It's a cheese shop, so lots of cheese.
The guy that works here is pretty blue collar. He won't serve you. You have to ask him questions. *Annoying!

I came here because I was told about their fabulous $5 sandwich special at lunch.

Came back here for lunch with a friend.

It is SO French in here. A dialogue, if you will:
Friend: "Can I have the French Burger?"
Cashier/Baker: "No. No more."
Friend: "Okay. Can I have the tartine gratinee?"
Cashier/Baker: "No. No more."

It's really cute in here. Light and airy. Tin ceilings. We got take-out so I didn't really look around too much. It's nice for a casual eat.

THE GOODS
I heard mixed feelings about the halibut and chips so I opted for the halibut sandwich. It was…More »

Not a fancy place. We're talking Danforth east of Greenwood here. The decor has a lot to be desired. But Neil, the owner, is so friendly! It's one of those "for everyone" type of places that attract families and hungry Yelpers alike.

It's patio season, which means The Harbord Room's tiny space opens up a bit more in the back. And boy, do they have a lovely patio! There aren't a lot of deuces on the patio, so my seat was in direct vision of the sun but once it went down, it…More »
