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…
Vittorio’s on Avenue ~ 137 Avenue Rd ~ (416) 924-7441
A Yorkville/North Toronto staple forever, I remember my parents taking me to Vittorio’s when they were at their long-standing Dupont and Avenue Road location. Recently moving a couple blocks south onto Avenue Road proper, I’m pleased to say that it’s as good as I remember. Now, an upscale Yorkville restaurant does not usually grace the pages of…
Green Eggplant Restaurant ~ 1968 Queen Street E ~ (416) 913-3361
If you’re in the Beach and are looking for a place where portions & selection are king, look no further than the Green Eggplant. This family-friendly diner often finds a line-up out the door on weekends, and their co-lo at 514 Eglinton Ave West is a testament to the fact that they’re doing a number of things…

Mex-I-Can ~ 107 James Street North, Hamilton ~ (905) 527-1554
Tucked away in downtown Hamilton’s up-and-coming James Street North neighbourhood, Mex-I-Can does Mexican as well as anywhere in Toronto… and then some. With virtually a rendition of the entire menu available as vegan, veggie, gluten-free or meat lovers (not to mention mild, medium or hot), there truly is something for everyone at this unpretentious cantina. Mex-I-Can’s philosophy is pretty simple:…
