I was just at Qi yesterday buying dried cherries. I just don't know whether they are organic or not, or if they have added sugar.

Qi Natural Food, 219 Roncesvalles Avenue, Toronto, 416-437-1428

I find the Stash Double Spice Chai to be bitter. But if you are looking for it in the city you can buy it in Kensington at the organic shops or at strictly bulk on bloor at ossington.

did you try Qi on Roncesvalles? i know they have dried cherries but i don't know if they are organic or sweetened.

has any tried the ramen at R-Shop Cafe on King W?

you can definitely ask for no spice. i have friends who have done it in the past. they don't mind at all.

TTC accessible would be preferred... West end would be perfect!

any sightings any where in toronto?

thanks

thanks to Rabbit for suggesting Czehoski in the Coca posting

any other suggestions in downtown toronto?

The noodles aren't suppose to be chewy, I'm guessing you mean al dente. For the best pho they should actually be using fresh noodles, which are definitely not 'chewy'.

How does this place compare to Golden Turtle?

blowfish... the food is much better. so are the drinks. don't know what the occasion is though!

either way though... blowfish.

two totally different types of food as well though.

that place is horrible! water downed, under spiced, just disgusting. if i remember correctly, their naan is actually pita bread.

Has anyone tried this place yet? It looks like an interesting breakfast spot.

anyone have a recommendations in this area?

going to a movie tonight and hoping for thai after.

thanks!

any one been?

thanks!

fionn maccools has it on tap, at least the one on king.

where is a good place to grab a drink in the middle of an afternoon? somewhere quite, for conversation.

downtown west or annex is preferred.

thanks

Just tried the website and it is no longer... I know it used to be there.

Any word on the status of this restaurant? I was hoping to try it tonight.

If it is still open, do I need a reservation for two people for an early dinner?

Thanks

where can i find a large selection of this brand of tea?

has anyone seen the bengal spice in toronto? or the sweet coconut thai?

thanks

i would suggest coco rice. it is small and service is always fast. the food is tasty and you could reserve the whole booth that runs the length of the wall.

after the glowing recs here for Red and White, i tried it a few weeks back. i took one bit and then forced a second, and then threw it out. it was disgusting.

you didn't give much in the way of price range that you are looking for, so i hope this helps. first thing that came to mind in Crush Wine Bar, they have private rooms that are quite beautiful.
here is a link.

can someone suggest a winery with great wine, chow worthy food and offers a bike tour?

a great b & b would be the icing on the cake!

thanks in advance.

Where can I find the best cheesecake in toronto? preferably something with caramel. I'm looking for a whole cheesecake for the office.

looking for cheap greasy diner breakfast... what is this place on queen west at lisgar on the north side called? one of these old school greek run places. anyone tried it?

thanks

i just noticed that there is a karen, all lower case, and i have been using KAREN all upper case for as long as i can remember. this seems confusing to me. for a moment, i thought that someone was logging in under my account.

thanks... good point. do you remember what that brand was so that i can avoid it? i'm trying to replicate the orange blossom pink lemonade at mezzetta.

can anyone explain the flavour of ovaltine... i'm always wondered.

some where downtown is preferred... kensington?

thanks for the help

thanks to both... where is C Lounge? Is the food good? Or just free?

i deal in kensington for coffee...
