Mamma Martino’s has been a fixture on The Queensway for over 25 years. Bruno Martino (with the help of his Mamma) opened the doors in 1983, and has been offering authentic Italian dining at affordable prices ever since. To say this place is baby/family friendly is an understatement. Whether you’re into building your own pizza (dine-in & take-out…
Chick-N-Joy ~ 1483 Queen St E ~ (416) 461-5848
Located along the quieter portion of Queen East between Leslieville & the Beach, Chick-N-Joy is a take-out joint that has been frying chicken since 1977. Not to be confused with the inferior-tasting chain restaurant with a similar name, Chick-N-Joy’s bold claim of “Love at First Bite” is not falsely advertised. Try one of their $6 lunch specials or try…
Federick Restaurant ~ 1920 Ellesmere Rd ~ (416) 439-9234
Federick Restaurant is renowned for bringing Hakka food to Toronto. Well, Scarborough actually. And with a recent expansion into a new Markham location, these guys are obviously doing something right (their take-out bag suggests they’ve have been doing so for the past 20 years). I am taken here as a Father’s Day gift. My expectations were exceeded on many…

Mocha Mocha is an extremely popular, family-friendly café in the heart of Greektown. They have been serving up healthy food and healthy portions since 1991. “Owners Marijan and Mercedes Tripkovic have blended their multi-cultural heritage along with their experience in the hospitality industry to create Mocha Mocha.” Mocha Mocha is where my wife and I would…
Tropical Joe’s ~ Gerrard Square (1000 Gerrard St. E) ~ (416) 461-5030
Tucked away at the back of the Gerrard Square lies Tropical Joe’s. These guys are making a name for themselves by serving, perhaps, the best food court fare in the city. I eat here at least every couple of weeks, and each time I do the queue gets a little bit longer. Hopefully after reading…
Wexford Restaurant ~ 2072 Lawrence Ave E ~ (416) 755-1229
I had “Breakfast at the Wexford” recently, drawn by the claim that they had cracked millions of Eggs over the years and had squeezed even more Oranges. Established in 1958, the Wexford Restaurant is somewhat of an institution in this part of Scarborough. I have them crack 3 more eggs for me to see what…
