#QueenEastEats 2023

It’s the start of September, and that means the summer is starting to wind down.  Sigh!  But seeing as we’re in the midst of a long weekend, the Toronto Food Blog wanted to take a moment and celebrate some of the great patio eats on the Lower-Eastside of town.  After all, it’s not hard to…

Ona Noodle ~ 797 Gerrard St E ~ (647) 643-3560

It’s officially “Hot August Night” season, and we’ll just start this review by saying that the 6ix could definitely use more Indonesian spots.   To that end, we’re seriously  grateful that Ona Noodle has recently opened in our #EastChinatownTO ‘hood (where Simon’s Wok used to be). On our last visit, an Indonesian family visiting from L.A….

Olde Yorke Fish & Chips ~ 96 Laird Dr ~ (416) 696-9670

Happy Canada Day, y’all. Olde Yorke Fish & Chips is a place that needs little introduction.  A Leaside institution, they’ve been doing one thing really, really well for the past 25+ years.

Fearless Meat is a no-frills burger spot in The Beach that’s great for the whole family.  Owner David Brown has been a butcher for over 50 years and he hires kids from the neighbourhood to help steer the ship.  It’s easy to get #lunchunder10bucks here, and the entire menu is kiddo approved! Homeburgers are charbroiled to…

Jim Chai Kee Wonton Noodle ~ 3700 Midland Ave ~ (647) 834-7834

Spring has officially sprung… and that means patio season is almost upon us.  Woot woot!  Our favourite time of year in the 6ix. Speaking of favourites, on a recent installment of #wednesdaysinscarborough, the Toronto Food Blog visited the legendary Jim Chai Kee (3700 Midland Ave) for some much-needed comfort.   We chat with their wonderful staff…
