My group tried almost everything on the menu - loved the pizza with anchovies, the one with cremini mushroom.. actually they were all good! Try the Italian donuts to finish off your meal!
Hands down the best coffee on this side of the city. What you would expect from coffee aficionados.
Lovely Argentinean cafe with good empanadas, coffee and cute home accessories. Oh, and wifi!
Seriously...no lies about the buttertart...AMAZING!!! Great espresso too!!
The craziest brunch you'll ever have. The challah toast hits home like no other. Next in line only to the octo & grit... Blood sausage mcmuffin was unbelievably good too. Foie gras is so devine!
Excellent tapas place to share with friends. Recommends: Fish ceviche, corn and yamShrimps al ajilloLamb loaf w/currants and dried apricots in almond-saffron sauce......brilliant!
Beautiful place. Been buzzed about for yrs and it's finally here!! Great decor, sexy, nice patio, good food, in an awesome area.
Late night prix fixe: steak frites and starter or dessert for 20 bucks - can't beat that! And pretend you're Jean Seberg and read the IHT at the gorgeous zinc bar (gamine haircut not included).
Favorite restaurant in town. Great vibes, great food, friendly servers, great music. Great for dinner and brunch. Best Eggs Benedict in town by far.
One of my favorite brunch spots. The one page menu and daily specials have something for everyone!
The soup is always good. If you're going for the sandwich, add some truffle sauce, maybe a little hot sauce. Ask for it extra crispy.
Great coffee, great view of the city and the best owners around. 10 out of 10!
Best burger in the city (sorry Hero). And best fries. And Boylans creme soda. Ahhh.
The best milkshake in Toronto! Also, the Big Chuck is just like a Big Mac, but with better, more delicious ingredients.
Unholy goodness! The Priest keeps it straight-forward and simple — plain white buns, fries, few gourmet frills. Go for "The Option," with panko-crusted, cheese-stuffed portobello. Read more.
Harry Porter and the Bourbon Soaked Vanilla Bean. Amazing name aside, it's a great beer with a strong vanilla aftertaste. Only served on Saturdays after 3pm.
Blood orange, mercury espresso, chili chocolate AND burnt marshmallow. Come back and try different combos of each.
Fish and chips are amazing!! Fries are yummy, and they make their own ketchup! :)
Love their Lemon tarts and the Almond Croissants are fantastic!!! Never disappointed in trying something new.
Really great artisan breads. The bagels are fairly priced however the soups and salads are a little pricey for a student budget. If you do choose to indulge its wonderful.
Rated as the worlds 3rd best new brewery, Bellwoods has amazingly smooth beer with unique names. If you like an ale, be sure to try the Wizard Wolf. It's signature beer. Wild side? Try Mash Pipe.
With 6000 feet of space, you’re sure to find something for yourself, your dad or your best friend... Read more.
Amazing selection of pastries and cakes from the best bakeries in the city. Chocolate & almond croissant and custard filled doughnuts are great to go with the Illy coffee.
Have the Baked French Toast. Have the Croque Madam the next time you visit. A truly addictive brunch resto in Leslieville.
Looking to do some shopping? Well, The Drake Hotel General Store is one of our fave places to shop. Not your style? Check out the rest of the shopping NXnecessities on http://www.nxnecessities.com!
Exceptional coffee - it really has character. Also, the choco-banana muffin was dripping with molten chocolate - delicious!
Incredible bubble tea! A lot healthier than normal bubble tea. They don't use syrup, they use real fruit and tea. Definite gem.
the foods better at clafouti, the coffee is better at white squirell. i usually do them respectively.
The ginger cookies are amazing. This is the best picture I have of one cause they are irresistible.
Incredible sausages handmade by Frank here - Merguez is a particular fave. Also house-aged steaks, cut to order.
Don't mess around... order the best smoked meat sandwich in toronto. Here's why: http://mycitylives.com/#!/video/toronto/caplansky-s-deli-smoked-meat/4e691dafb27a5e4113000283
I agree. Little baguettes only $3.50 or two for $7.95 delicious ingredients on artisanal breads. Perfect size to leave room for a sweet for after. And you can have soy or almond milk with your latte.
The classic espresso is sharp, acidic and full of flavour. You know it's good when the coffee sticks to the sides of the cup. Not for the Tim Hortons crowd.
Awesome French pastry shop. Their butter croissant is real Parisian, their banana-coconut and chocolate-pistachio viennoiseries are 2-die-4
All hype.. Can't speak for the chicken, but tried 2 donuts. Sorry, $2.75 for a jazzed up so so cake donut that's the same size as a Tim's? Really? Apparently Leslieville is for suckers(?).get real.
Worth trying to get it on a busy night, if not for the awesome service, then for the truly unique view of Toronto - seems like you can just reach out and touch the CN Tower!
To avoid the hungry masses lining up for Sunday brunch at Mildred’s Temple Kitchen in Liberty Village, go on Saturday – or try preparing one of their most popular menu items in your own kitchen. Read more.
Can’t go wrong with anything made of marinated pork belly in a soft tortilla and a wedge of juicy lime. Oh and pineapple whose sweetness really goes well with any kind of meat, I believe. YUM. Read more.
Best croissants and pastries in the city bar none. And better than anything I've ever had in Montreal (Premiere Moisson and the likes, you lose!)
Fantastic cookies, double the size of regular cookies -- and double the price too, but they're just too damn good to pass up!
If you dining with a friend, share a main entree and one prix fixe and save big. The prix fixe costs $21 for a smoothie, appetizer, main and cookie for dessert. Last night, I tried this with my partne
Beef and onion roll, melon shrimp and pork pan fried, pork and green onion steamed. Best thing on Spadina aside from the ruler; Kings noodle house
Key lime pie, nothing beats it. In the fall I highly suggest trying the pumpkin pie also. Good stuff here and made fresh daily.
stopped for fresh baked chocolate croissant...ended up eating 4 with my daughter in one sitting. Yum. The bread looks incredible. Desserts to die for. A perfect stop for coffee and dessert.
Fantastic croissants on the weekends. Great spot for a variety of local foods - like an all year farmers market. Fantastic place. A must for all good food appreciators.
Come have a drink from an $18,000 espresso machine. It’s variable steam pressure will allow some clever little barista to really create a work of art for $5 a glass. Seems reasonable. Read more.
Wanda's known for pie, but try the croissants. They are so buttery and good. You'll have to walk a little to get anything better.
Since 1995 this Chinese restaurant at the Metropolitan Hotel has been serving up the dim sum yin to Rol San’s yang. Critics have called it the best Cantonese restaurant in Canada. [Eater 38 Member]
Everything about this place was awesome. The decor was quaint and cozy, and the menu was simple and concise. This is authentic Japanese, so don't expect to order 50 different maki rolls!
Wow, just Wow! Some friends took me to Guu Saka Bar and such a cool experience! Great food, great ambiance and funny cool loudy staff! Makes everything so GUU'D!
You obviously enjoy excellent food. Chef Michael Stadtländer will be serving up his sumptuous, local and organic menu at the @EarthDayCanada Gala on June 6th at The Drake http://bit.ly/KSVhVK
Ask the beer experts to help you navigate the menu of 400 beers! Its De Koninck Amber Ale for me.
Certainly lives up to the hype. Excellent service even at 1:30am. Thankful that the kitchen closes so late. Can't wait to go back.
Start at Alex Farm Products (Upper Level 23 in the South Market). This little spot sells some of the hardest-to-find cheeses in the country. Read more.
A comfortable classic. For over 30 years, this favourite Queen West Thai locale has been the perfect après shopping destination. Many patrons order the same dishes, year after year. [Eater 38 Member]
The kara-miso ramen was so delicious! I had the slightly more expensive dish with the extra pork...I recommend you have it too.
The Yuzu Maki is delicious! I'd never tried something like that before. Definite repeat.
The Pad Thai is subtly spicy with a chili aftershock; the deep-fried garlic chicken crisp but oily. If food were all smiles and charm, Khao San Road would rate four stars and not one. Read more: Read more.
A bare-bones menu starring a succulent Italian pork sandwich, soup and a plate of porchetta. That’s it. And frankly, that’s all that needs to be there when you serve up a sammie that tasty. Read more.
I liked it, but didn't LOVE it. The gyozas were great, karage needed more flavor. I would go back. I also love how huge the place is, not like all the smaller competitors.
The north market only operates on Saturdays. It's the best place for local produce.
Order the Islamic Thai noodles - noodles with chicken, shrimp, veggies and a red curry sauce. It's not on the menu but it's the best ever!
Try "Et cetra", a set of 4 samples of their home brewed ale; order tarte flambée, if you're feeling hungry.
I like to meet one of our advisors at the Starbucks on the second floor. Lots of big tables and a quiet space to work.
