The Atlantic Restaurant

Having written plenty of negative reviews on this site, I’m proud to announce that this will be different. It’s taken me a while to formulate my thoughts and stew over any element that might not necessary be up to all our readers’ par (well particularly all foodie pars, which are waaaaay higher). So here we …

Barberians Steakhouse

To sum this restaurant experience up in one word is really easy since only one comes to mind when describing all the aspects of this dinner: outdated. From the decor to the service (although it was phenomenal) and especially to the food, the locale hold true to its well implanted roots on Toronto’s dining scene. …

Cowbell Restaurant

WOW might be the best word to describe my experience at this wonderful restaurant. From the warm atmosphere of its bistro-like decor, to the friendly yet non-invasive servers, this venue really does things well. It may be a little higher on the price scale than most restaurants of it’s kind, but the meal is definitely …

Yellow Griffin Pub

Finding ourselves in Bloor West and really craving a quality homemade burger, we decided to try out the Yellow Griffin Pub (Bloor and Runnymede) and wow, were we ever disappointed. Maybe our perception of a phenomenal restaurant involves too many ideals for it to be truly possible, but this place really didn’t even make the …

Chef’s House Restaurant

So having been on both sides of the counter in this King st East restaurant I can’t give a fair review on the food since I’m prone to forgiving mistakes a little more easily. However, I will try my hardest to be as unbiased as possible when judging my latest food experience there, since it …

New Generation Grill Fusion in the Annex

Just like any other korean grill house, you’re cooking your own meal in the little hot plates located in the center of each table. It’s a very neat idea for an interactive meal but really puts the pressure on the kitchen in order to produce phenomenal food without being able to cook it until the …

Restaurant Review: Cava

Its a Thursday night at about 8:30. I’m dressed in jeans and a cardigan. We’ve been painting all day; splatters in my hair, on my arms. We are tired, hungry, a little brain dead and in need of nourishment. Its a little late to start thinking about dinner and we drive aimlessly. The Set Up …

Bonjour Brioche…. and yummy croissants

Wooow…. if there’s a place that really deserves the praise that Toronto Life gives it on a regular basis, Bonjour Brioche is definitely it. Located in the east end of town, in a very inconspicuous and currently slightly grungy area, this little locale is a true gem. The decor is uninspiring to say the least. …

The Black Hoof

This little restaurant has been attracting a lot of buzz in Toronto in the past few years. The chef, Grant van Gameren, is a veteran of Lucien, Canoe and Amuse Bouche and is very adamant about challenging his customers’ taste buds with cured meats and offal. His restaurant is always packed, they don’t take reservations …
