Leslie Jones – 1182 Queen St E – (416) 463-5663

Arriving to a great cocktail menu and a Neil Young album playing (there’s a painting of him above the bar), I liked Leslie Jones right off the hop. The fact that they could accommodate a group of 10 on a busy Saturday night made us all feel welcome. I get the feeling that this eclectic little place is busy all the…

Tacos El Asador – 690 Bloor St W – (416) 538-9747

I had lunch this week with my El Salvadoran friend Manuel, and asked him where one can find the best Salvadoran food in the city. He invited my wife and I over to his annual Christmas Eve food party, assuring us it was the best. If he and his family go out for Salvadoran food, their go-to is often Tacos El Asador.
