@raypal if you want to look up the Malbec I ordered at Hy's: Gauchezco Plata Malbec, 18.50/gls

19 Dec 13

La Bella Managua's homey vibe so Central American. Mouthwateringly tart ceviche, perfect lomo in carne asado. Who wants #nicaraguan ?

18 Dec 13

@barquebbq: hot butternut! next time get sarnies over #wings, #fingers. The ribs were in, @ long last. But I think hubby does them better ;)

18 Dec 13

@Hys_Steakhouse : great standby when stick in the Path during a snowstorm. Killer table side spinach salad, bone-in rib

14 Dec 13

Pho Tien Thanh: great gift for a new mamma = tripe + raw beef slices floating in the best broth I know. 1/2 noodles are still 2 many noodles

**1/2 Rock Lobster: fun #canadiana vibe. From secret market to franchise, wow. Lots o mayo, fried fare. Best bet lobster taco #hipsterlife

7 Aug 13

416 snack bar: a bar in restaurant clothing. Bouncer?! Decent steak tartare. Trini double, charcuterie, blah. Best bet pork bun #hipsterlife

7 Aug 13

**1/2 Guu (church): ebi mayo > Hapa? Perhaps. Chicken skin taco fab, Gomaee flavors reincarnated in ice cream #izakaya #loudbirthday

17 Jul 13

***1/2 Red Tea Box: bring friends - like rediscovering your fave Teedot tea. Crispy tilapia a crowd pleaser, spicy kale, blah basmati #bento

****Tabülè (Leslieville): fantastic caterer; tho I speculated telling guests "secret source", I shared the ❤ and credited u @TabuleToronto

13 Jun 13

**1/2 Gourmet Kobo Fine Food (Pickering #sushi): surprisingly decent Japanese option despite being in the burbs #downtownprices

12 Jun 13

**Craft Dogs: artisanal, hormone-free #hotdogs put a dent in my pocket, but I didn't really savor the flavor; sloppy Kobe dog was dry, salty

10 Jun 13

***Momofuko (#ramen) was worth another shot. Tho Santouka broth reigns supreme, crispy chicken skin and other fixins might just win me over.

29 May 13

Can't believe how awful #italian ice is. Never again.

Thursday burgers continue @ Great Burger Kitchen. Trying the lamb burger w garlic aioli, pickle in addition to feta, roasted red peppers.

27 Apr 13

***1/2 Olde Yorke #fishandchips (Leaside): family-friendly, hearty halibut, sunny seating despite weak fries. Will return to try more soon.

25 Apr 13

****B&B authentic #fishandchips (@leslieviller , worth a trip): crispy greasy goodness you might not want to share. Just don't ask to eat in

18 Apr 13

@Bigsmokeburger industrialization meets customization and holy heaven, lamb+garlic mayo+pickle is a winner. I could eat two of these #yummy

18 Apr 13

***kirei #sushi: smoky madai and perfect, firm texture hirame sashimi. That pretty, tiny waitress knows how to upsell #plumwine

18 Apr 13

@beerbistroTO patrons: if you have the good fortune to get server who stands beer bottles on his head(!), take heed. Awesome suggestions.

4 Apr 13

***1/2 @Bigsmokeburger : thank u kind server for my new favorite #burger, lamb w cilantro feta spread, add garlic mayo + pickle next time <3

31 Mar 13

**Aft Bar: Barbecue, straight up. No frills, nothing fancy, wobbly tables (if you get one). But they do Q right - sausage, ribs, fries, slaw

26 Mar 13

Hats off to Colborne Lane for dedication to innovation. Chef Aprile closing doors to devote time to that Restaurant That Shall Not Be Named.

26 Mar 13

***Holy Chuck: Gratuitous copy of that *other* religious burger joint but flatter patties. Must try milkshake! Big Chuck = High Priest.

10 Mar 13

*** @LongestYardTO: Organic food, stellar service. We even got balloons. Delicious curried lentils, halibut benny, wings a bit dry #fishcake

2 Mar 13

**** @richmondstn our new fave spot. Kid friendly, killer charcuterie, keep the quinoa coming. Next time save the last lobster bisque for me

28 Feb 13

27 Feb 13

*1/2 @QMargherita Pizza: takeout after a long absence (walk-in, 4 min flat). staff so friendly, crust thick/doughy, pancetta bitter. so sad.

26 Feb 13

The excuse was Origin was hot so doors were opened and it came in, but pest control would be notified. Guess I should tweet the City. Nasty.

26 Feb 13

Weird. We went to Origin for Ray's birthday, had a lackluster meal, saw a live insect* ON our table, told waiter - to land in "spam box"?!?

25 Feb 13

****Red Tea Box: chai en bol, brown butter red lentil soup (w a kick!) divine #solotreat

19 Feb 13

Hoping @origintoronto contacted pest control as promised to me Sunday night. Weird critter... definitely wouldn't want to see one next time

19 Feb 13

*Origin: sour mushroom salad, gooey lobster ceviche, boring chili chicken. Buffalo mozza crostini w toasty pine nuts, rosemary oil saved day

19 Feb 13

**Hot House: kids bursting outta the seams @ weekend brunch, delayed seating, hordes milling @ the trough. Best: roast chicken, French toast

19 Feb 13

***1/2@swish_by_han: thoroughly impressd w korean fusion esp wild mushroom salad. Tacos, ssäm. Family wc, booming hip hop, sparkle = :) baby

19 Feb 13

***1/2 Santouka: got perfect order again  w Thannifer. Spicy miso a bit of a miss, tho even thru spice, velvety broth texture mellow comfort

16 Feb 13

****@jacobsandco: hole burnt in pocket, but #YOLO. US Snake River > Aus Oakley Ranch in our humble wagyu comparison. pic.twitter.com/FOAFN7Ht

16 Feb 13

***1/2 Santouka ('D' Day for S): discovered shibazuke, a tart pickle side, perfect complement to rich, low-salt tokusen toroniku miso #ramen

16 Feb 13

**Sushi Inn: Tastes evolved? seated @ back = fryer. Kids (all 3) weren't enthused. Good: Eggplant, avocado salad. Ok: tempura. Ugly: Karaage

16 Feb 13

****beachtree @fourseasons hualalai: Pacific sunset behind slow motion, loincloth-clad brawn. Steak, lobster poppers, crème brûlée good too

8 Jan 13

***Bashu Szechuan: fast, delicious, cheap but mega portion size. Goat in pot, off-menu 'tea shrimp', pea leaves. #authentic #szechuan

8 Jan 13

**1/2 Rodney's at Rodney's: Mega shrimp cocktail, New England chowdah as good as we remembered.

**Daishō (@momofuku toronto): picture perfect dishes pack a punch; food and music are LOUD. Black Rice Juk best by far pic.twitter.com/Mta6tUsd

20 Dec 12

***The Burger's Priest: less of a lineup on a Wed night. Secret menu High Priest, no cheese - my go-to greasy, homestyle #burger of choice.

20 Dec 12

***Red Tea Box, sans bento box. Very meaty ribeye salad, good sandwiches, but chai en bol doesn't disappoint. Remembered to NOT get dessert.

11 Dec 12

***1/2 Richmond Stn. Get bisque w kick over lobster tempura - tiny bites on iceberg. Sea bream, burger #topchefcanada pic.twitter.com/rE3jpa2z

5 Dec 12

***Biff's: Highly anticipated seafood platter disappoints, esp tuna tartare. Veal tenderloin weak. Stick w bistro fare pic.twitter.com/meMk6Ggb

13 Nov 12

Not too sweet Pb square & La Canadienne drip w maple syrup. No wifi. #cafe #balzac

5 Nov 12

***Mangia&Bevi: In 3 recent visits: pasta&pizza (Amatriciana, Siciliana) would rate ****, salad (Polipo) ok, panini (Senatore) a huge miss.

1 Nov 12

***Volos: Upscale #Greek cuisine in the downtown core. Nice saganaki, octopus appie, and oh, the eye candy. Boo lamb shank phyllo, yum orzo.

1 Nov 12

**Momofuko: Much ado about #noodles, doesn't live up to the hype. Best dish hands down, pork buns. Would prefer no lineup dimsum any day.

1 Nov 12

***1/2 Barbarians #steakhouse: Delicious rib cooked to perfection, a wine cellar peek, Garbage | Milk, and attentive svc have turned my head

20 Sep 12

***1/2 Khmer Thai: Pronounced "k'my", TO's only #cambodian (NOT thai) family-run joint serves up mouthwatering kako khmer, spicy golden beef

18 Sep 12

**Pho Mi Asia (Mississauga): For the <3 of all that is holy, listen 2 Jung, save $2,  DON'T get extra meat. Spring rolls greasy, #116

great.

18 Sep 12

***Hy's: Escargot good, Riserva Shiraz good pair with super spiced Cajun 16 oz bone in, salty sautéed spinach. Wasn't sliced table-side, boo

14 Sep 12

***1/2 Woodlot: Industrial, chic décor, blunt waitstaff. I'll return for grilled ox tongue, house made cola, perfect madeleines, saffron tea

10 Sep 12

***@HapaIzakaya is2 #izakaya what gastropub is2 firkin: swish decor, slim menu, eyecandy. best bets: beef bowl, wings, ebi mayo. not karaage

1 Sep 12

****Cafe Michi: Derelict Scarberia plaza houses cafe w pricy, masterful sushi. Premium nigiri, scallop maki, chyo-chin bento, crème brûlée

31 Aug 12

****Biff's: prix fixe wild mushroom soup & steak tartare w giant capers, lentilles du puy, and various accoutrements pic.twitter.com/VtdZQvB3

28 Aug 12

****Hiro: We realized 1.5 sushi comes with smaller pieces of fish than à la carte (got unagi, salmon); still worth it at $15.  I <3 Hiro.

28 Aug 12

****Pho Tien Thanh: Après cottage choix du jour. Clean, flavorful pho ga; S liked over shrimp sugar cane, shrimp roll. No avocado milkshake.

20 Aug 12

***Bonjour Brioche: Yummy & quick, surprisingly seated 6 on a Sunday (930 arrival). Next time don't order $4.50 pea meal bacon side or juice

15 Aug 12

***Nami: Fish doesn't drape over sushi rice as b4 but 12$ robata takes me back to Hakone: miso, salad, pickled veg, seasoned rice, 3yakitori

15 Aug 12

***Chantecler (few doors down fr GE) stole show w horseradish cream salmon, cod roe gnocchi and KILLER zucchini blossoms w sweet corn sauce

15 Aug 12

**Grand Electric: Highly anticipated "obvious option" churns out $3.50 tacos (beef cheek best) but specials (sirloin fajita) outshone them.

13 Aug 12

No Stiegl? Radler Fest @ Bier Markt cure: Italiano (Dolimetti Pedevana lager, blood orange soda) or Monk (Leffe Brune, passion fruit soda)

10 Aug 12

**Kinton: On 2nd thoughts (Shio/med/shoulder) decided #ramen isn't my thing. If Raypal visits, get spicy garlic/rich broth/shoulder w 2*meat

3 Aug 12

**1/2 Jump: Well-sheltered, non-smoking patio ideal for preggers and aspiring young bankers (Sacha). Saltless mushroom soup FAIL, quail PASS

3 Aug 12

****Hiro: Today's 1.5 sushi came with wild salmon, Spanish mackerel, kumquat ice cream and an 8 day old early bird. pic.twitter.com/WMg5cs68

 2 Aug 12

***Il Bun Ji: Über value for two: Congee, pickled veg, lotso tempura, sushi (on a *boat*) and galbi ($3 upgrade), $40ish. Can't get better.

27 Jul 12

****Hiro: Waitress delivers me my go-to #sushi, saying "I think you know most of them" lol

22 Jul 12

***1/2 Origin: If lunch/dinner not an option, makes a great local brunch spot. Fantastic duck confit French toast but only one booster seat.

21 Jul 12

**Pacific Junction Hotel (by Betty's): Fab ginger beer, beer cocktail make up somewhat for ok food, missing Radler

21 Jul 12

***1/2 Petit Dejeuner: Still best waffles in T.O. w eggs benny 4 ray, slightly salty bacon 4 me. I'd forgot how good the green apple slaw is

21 Jul 12

***Osteria Ciceri E Tria: great service, good food make up for slightly inflated prices. Antipasti+Primi+Gelato was $40, enough to doggy bag

20 Jul 12

**1/2 Pizzeria Libretto: 1st time in ~5 orders, my spelt was... different (doughy, thick). NB: Raypal likes the nduja, not housemade sausage

13 Jul 12

**1/2 Kinton: My winding #ramen journey brought me to miso, corn broth ordered med/shoulder. Rodney got standard shio.

10 Jul 12

**1/2 Kirei: 1st lunch, bit disappointed w assorted raw fish "kaisendon"; obviously bits of fish left over fr sashimi cuts. Svc pretty weak.

10 Jul 12

***Burger Priest: Nice apres-swim alternative (usually sushi&swim fridays). Preggers settling on hamburger (no cheese) w tom, on, 2x pickles

10 Jul 12

****Biff's: Pleased to say I have a standard order, 'prix fix' mushroom soup and beef tartare. For $17 you can't go wrong. Dined w Saby&Boo

10 Jul 12

**1/2 Ajisen: Went out on a limb and tried curry lamb, while Raypal stuck with the basic pork #ramen in famous white soup. Better than Japan

23 May 12

***1/2 Gabardine:#Gastropub serving crisp romaine, soft boiled egg Caesar salad, and dill-flavored club. *Was beer battered cheese croquette

21 May 12

***Dragon Boat (Richmond Hill #dimsum) w Gilda and family including Fred just in fr Shanghai. Sponge cake dessert airy hot and not too sweet

21 May 12

***Lee: Vegan, 16-ingredient Singapore Slaw a sweet show-stealer at Susur's posh, retro-Asian themed establishment. Dining is family-style.

21 May 12

**No Bull Burger: Too many fries! Made to order, organic patties in mom'n'pop feel setting. Adjoining Greek restaurant missing octopus salad

21 May 12

***School Bakery: Well it was at closing time, but how can u not love a place that gives you free stuff! Nice west end option, over-ordered.

21 May 12

**1/2 Hot House Cafe: Probably the best place downtown to take an "eclectic" group (think picky in-laws, kiddies, red meat-averse siblings)

21 May 12

We've been to 4* #sushi a few x in the last months, Hiro holds title for best value lunch, Kirei edges out takeout-only Sushi Marche overall

21 May 12

***Origin: LUV that brunch. If u know anywhere else w/ a nice egg white frittata, Clash of the Titans playing in the background, let me know

21 May 12

***Barque's got bite; pulled pork sarnie w Asian pear topped brisket. No ribs so server gifted us deelish mushroom soup, lemon curd dessert

3 May 12

***1/2 Ed's (Leslieville ice cream): Blood orange sorbet and Tahitian vanilla pair up for a delightful 'creamsicle'. Will try mango next

14 Apr 12

5 Apr 12

Luv that Esplanade Bier Markt. Especially when they have the last patio hour of sunshine, followed by complimentary mussels w Rodney & hubby

30 Mar 12

***Burger Priest: For a mere $10, my soul was greased up and liberated via the "High Priest" Big Mac knock off. Single patty next time.

29 Mar 12

****Pizzeria Libretto: Hands down fave, eat-in or take-out? Berkshire Ham, Egg, Stracciatella, Truffle Paste on spelt crust (Ossington only)

5 Mar 12

***Lucien: Excellent yet expensive steak w bonus bone marrow, $38. Wines overpriced - $13 malbec?!? Pretty good tartare, overdone black cod.

1 Mar 12

9 Jan 12

**Great Burger Kitchen: Ya got nice buns, hun, but my custom "Argentinian BLT" (w spicy mayo, guac) left something to be desired. Hero wins.
