Is there a Toronto (or surrounding area) specialty?
back in the late 80's and early 90's there seemed to be 3 donut shops at most intersections, i am happy that has thinned out-although our waistlines still show the results of those days....
One day, this Friday, in Toronto (West Queen West)
skip vdara and nyood and leave the car in the garage and walk up up ossington and check out he scene there, or cross under the bridge and head the cadillac lounge for some music and parkdale's largest patio...the food isn't great but he vibe is good.
Birthday party venue in Toronto
oops, sorry about that, i don't think of it as pricey-the patio is just one of the best around...especially if you want a group to be able to sit around a chat too, we tend to order smaller stuff and share...
the drake on queen west has a great patio too as does fuzion on church.
all of these places have a club, loungy feel to them-especially as the sun sets and beyond....
My Big 4-0 Birthday party in Toronto - looking for suggestions
happy birthday john! when is the big party? month? day of the week? what area of town and are there any price points you are trying to hit?
Birthday party venue in Toronto
the patio at one is a great bet, especially if you can reserve the corner sofa area...
I have no idea and need help....
Mitizi's sister is popular with the stroller mafia, has a kids menu and even a kids night (which i always avoid).

Scotch egg in Toronto
although most often served cold here, they are great went fresh out of the fryer or at room temperature. i dislike the out of the fridge versions sold here....so i prefer to make them at home instead, very easy to do
Local Kitchen & Wine Bar
the paper is off the windows, i'm going to see if its open this weekend and give it a try...i will report back....
Visiting from NYC - Need restaurant help
skip cowbell after 9pm, not much left and they are getting ready to close....
Anyone know anything about Liberty Noodle?
the whole area isn't dead, Raaw is not the standard for the hood. As much as I hate the Brazenhead-it does well, Mildred's is doing well, Carole's Kitchen is doing well, School is packed on the weekends, Liberty Cafe, Merci Mon Ami...all very consistent with business levels and the whole area is packed when the Toronto FC play.
Did anyone go to summerlicious 2009?
i'm glad you had a great meal for your anniversary, but i question your husband's choice of liciousing for such an important date....shaved beets and leg of lamb sound great!
and sorry about the not so great-but i have never been to 7#'s.
7 yr old daughter looking to try lobster in TO
does she want the whole lobster experience with head, claws etc? or just he flavour ( or lack of it) and want to try the meat (lobster roll or tail or claws?)
Excellent brunch at School Bakery & Cafe
i am at a loss to understand the appeal of this place other than location and the fact it is somewhat newish and everyone wants to hop on the latest trend so as not to be out of fashion. but you wait to get in, you wait to get served and you wait for food-they should rename the customer as the waiter. the food is sometimes great, but usually mediocre. there are other places in toronto and even in the neighborhood that are better and more established. mildred's temple kitchen, the liberty are just two within blocks of the place.
Recommendations for Superb Breakfast Place?
Mildred's Temple Kitchen, Mitzi's, Mitizi's Sister
All of which are southwest of Yorkville and about a $25 cab ride. MTC and MS are both very TTC accessible, original Mitzi's is a few blocks north of the queen street car tho.
Chicago 58 or Lesters Hot Dogs - GTA
Both were at the Metro in Liberty Village this past Sunday
Splendido's new menu...
i think with most it is a kosher thing, but many classic dishes (coquilles st. jacques for one) contain dairy and shellfish
Recession wedding!
Most hotels waive rental fees if food and/or beverage is purchased through hotel, but most hotels don't allow outside food and/or beverage.
Straight rental fees usually apply when someone holds a conference or meeting style of event without food and beverage attached.
Dinner near AMC Theatre at Dundas Square
woo has been discussed at length and the reviews are not so much mixed but more negative, caution is urged
Recession wedding!
the recession should be well into recovery by next summer and shrewd operators will be careful about booking something more frugal now with that in mind. Also, be careful with deposits and the like because the economy now might mean that the operator may not be there for your special day.
Edmonton, near the Uni/Lister Centre
If the Bottleneck is still located in HUB mall, I fondly remember their Korean food....
Good Chinese Takeout in Edmonton?
For all you Edmontonians, Ho-Lee-Chow is a chain that is akin to Lydo....do they still have Lydo in Edmonton? or something similar
Best Reuben in T.O....
i prefer the one at the corned beef house more than the one at new yorker.
