Authentic as it gets... don't let the uncompleted renovations and plastic cutlery fool you - Lahore hits the spot and serves up fresh Indian dishes.

Bombay Bhel serves up delicious authentic Indian dishes. A big step up from typical buffet joints, without the high prices. Samosas were particularly good.

The Red Tea Box  

Categories: Coffee & Tea, Tea Rooms, Asian Fusion

4 star rating

The food is always delightful. The presentation is always interesting.

And yet we never feel at ease when visiting the Red Tea Box...

The seating is horribly uncomfortable. Low tables with busted antique swivel chairs are lovely to look at, but cause a serious back ache. The attitude and approach to service is also unfortunate as it often comes with an air of pretentiousness. And tea for $11 per pot is over priced in my estimation.

Difficult to remember and inflexible serving hours are the last source of frustration. Tea Bento served Monday to Saturday after 2pm, but 12pm-3:30pm on Sunday. Lunch Bento served Monday to Saturday 11am-2:30pm. I am writing these hours down so we can remember them, because despite the overly precious atmosphere, we return again and again for the food.

Black Hoof

The hoof is easily the most innovative cooking to come to Toronto this year.

Incredible charcuterie, delicious libations, and a convivial atmosphere.

A few words of caution...
1. if you follow any dietary rules, throw them out the window.
2. you might have to wait for a table, it is worth the wait.

Pomodoro  

Category: Italian
Neighbourhood: North End

5 star rating

Pomodoro is a hidden gem in the heart of Boston's North End.

It is a small but cozy space with a warm hostess and talented cook. The linguine with slow roasted plum tomato sauce was excellent (better be for $20) and the mussels in a saffron scented fennel stew were divine and a comparative steal (at $12).

Pricing for some dishes might appear high at first, but works out nicely in the end (at least for our visit) with a slice of artfully prepared tiramisu offered on the house. Total lunch tab, no drinks, came to $40.

Unfortunately, Manna is closing this Tuesday. So if you wanted to try it, swing by before then!

    I swung by Manna for an excellent lunch of spicy korean rice cakes (Dukbokki) with beef, cabbage, and bean curd. All dishes at Manna are made fresh from scratch, reminds me of Sukho Thai in this respect. If my mom were an amazing Korean cook named Soo, this is what she would serve. Easily best Korean in Toronto.  If you are anywhere nearby or simply craving a Korean home cooked meal, Manna is worth a visit!

Swing by for an excellent selection of cheese and charcuterie. First discovered this spot while the owner was doling out free samples during the ossington blackout party. The homemade gypsy salami is particularly delicious and a steal for just 6.95 :)

Miss Cora makes the most delicious flourless chocolate (cup)cake in Toronto. The mini cupcakes are fun too. This spot is a gem just waiting to be discovered :)

Overpriced. Westernized. There is much much much better Chinese to be found elsewhere in Toronto such as: New Sky, Rol San, Lai Wah Heen, Szechuan Legend, Omei, the list goes on and on... so skip Pearl Harbour(front).
