Tucked away amongst the up-and-coming shops at Main & Gerrard is Cool Runnings, a family-owned-and-operated Caribbean spot that’s full of young families from the neighbourhood on this Thursday night. And though the name might be reminiscent of the John Candy classic, the food is far from anything Canadiana. “So, you like taking pictures?” the lady at the…
Sushi Bar ~ 701 Queen St. E ~ (647) 351-3138
“Oh, show me the way to the next sushi bar…” When it comes to eating Sushi on the eastside of town, your options are pretty limited. While Sushi Marche might hold the crown as being the best place to splurge on a Sushi dinner, I propose that if you go a little further west to…
Su-Good Chinese Restaurant ~ 2626 Danforth ~ (416) 691-8828
We recently ran into one of my wife’s friends at our local Target. Turns out that we both moved into the same neighbourhood not so long ago.

Bread & Butter ~ 507 Mount Pleasant Rd ~ (416) 488-0036

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you are probably already familiar with Bread & Butter. It’s been an Uptown/Nortown institution since 1979. If you’ve never heard of the place, I suggest you check it out. It’s one of…
Basil Thai Kitchen ~ 2326 Danforth Ave ~ 416-422-0617
Since I started this blog, one of the most memorable things I have eaten is Rendang Beef… enjoyed at an Indonesian resto in De Pijp, Amsterdam. I have been trying to recreate this meal ever since. Now, I have been able to find a couple of Malaysian places in Toronto that serve it, but we haven’t tried them out yet. This past Friday, I was walking down to the foot…
Sabai Sabai ~ 225 Church St. ~ 647-748-4225
I was recently asked to organize a double-date and had heard a lot of good things about Sabai Sabai… a much-needed new Thai restaurant on Church between Dundas and Queen. Arriving way too early, I sit at the bar and converse with the owner, Seng Luong, over a couple of Beer Lao. Now, I haven’t had one of…
