Fran’s: A Toronto Tradition Since 1940



If you’re in town and looking for a good, cheap, satisfying meal, head to one of Fran’s two downtown locations. Named after the original owner, Fran’s has been operating in Toronto since 1940, and in all that time, the quality of their fare has remained high, while the prices have stayed low. The 100 Victoria St. location, directly opposite the famous Massey Hall, is always full after ...

Local 4 a Local Favourite



One of our favourite nearby eateries is the Local 4, an intimate, cozy little restaurant/pub just off of Younge St., near the Wellesley intersection. Named for it’s street number, 4 Dundonald, it can be found in a little white house with a small patio out front, covered in greenery during the summer months. Inside, the lightening is low and subdued, music eclectic but unobtrusive, and a reasonably priced ...

Big Daddy's


I went to Big Daddy's last night for a retirement party. It is located on King Street West, close to the financial and entertainment districts.

It had a fun atmosphere and the presentation of the food was perfect. There was obviously a lot of seafood on the menu, it is an oyster bar after all. But there were also options for people not interested in seafood. There was pasta, chicken and ...

Dynasty Chinese Cuisine: the Genuine Article in an Elegant Environment



Dynasty Chinese Cuisine

Ethnic food restaurants which cater to the desires of the local population abound in Canada, especially when it comes to Chinese food. As a result, ‘Canadian Chinese food,’ with its uniformity and saltiness is considered Chinese cuisine to the ignorant and indifferent. I am fortunate enough to live in Toronto, where genuine Chinese food is not hard to ...

Rex Saigon Thai Viet Buffet Restaurant in Toronto



I recently discovered this restaurant and can't get enough of it. If you are an adventurous eater than this is the place for you. It has so many food choices that even after my 5th time, I still have not tried everything on the menu. It is a great mix of Thai, Vietnamese, Malaysian, Singaporian, Japanese and Chinese food. Each item has its own unique flavour so your palate never ...

Go For Tea in Toronto



One of my more interesting and favourite places to hang out with friends is Go For Tea in Richmond Hill. The ambience is hip and trendy and attracts a young asian crowd. It's quite busy during the weekends when you want to hang out after dinner or the movies.

Their menu is Taiwanese Chinese food but what attracts the crowds is their extensive drink menu with many exotic flavours to choose from. My favourite is the honeydew ...

C’est What? An Excellent Bar and Restaurant in St. Lawrence Market District



C’est What? can be found in the basement of a historic building located on Front St. E. in the St. Lawrence Market district, and has been providing a warm, relaxed atmosphere to unwind in after work since 1988. A diverse range of beers and wines, especially generous in selection from local vineyards and micro breweries, accompanies a well-rounded ‘ethno-eclectic’ menu, putting a delicious spin on standard pub fare. ...

Find aBUNdant sweets at the Furama Cake and Desserts Garden



As awful as that pun is, the Furama Cake and Desserts Garden on Spadina Ave. is famous in the Chinatown district for its deliciously decadent baked goods. Its small, inconspicuous storefront adjacent to the Chinatown Centre attracts customers from across the GTA, and is often filled to overflowing at mealtimes . Staff are quick and efficient however, so there’s never a long wait to cash out, and ...

The Old Spaghetti Factory!


Last night I went to the Old Spaghetti Factory located on the Esplanade. It was my second time there, and the food was amazing! My boyfriend accompanied me downtown since I had a meeting to go to, so as a special date we went to this restaurant. It's become one of his favourites since we first went a year ago when we had a free meal coupon.

The atmosphere is fun ...
