Aragvi ~ 832 Sheppard W ~ (416) 792-2613
When I read that Aragvi was “the only authentic Georgian restaurant in Ontario,” I knew I had to give it a try. Now, I’ll admit that there was some minor concern about how adventurous some of the food might be for a group of my friends and family with different tastes. Let me tell you, this place delivers on a number…
Tenoch ~ 933 St Clair Ave W ~ (647) 345-0165

It’s really nice to be able to get…
