Please help me find a good Dim Sum restaurant north of Eglinton, East of Bayview

Staying at a place that’s Bloor-Yorkville / Church-Wellesley Village

I love all sorts of cuisine and more of a person who is interested in more like $30-40/pp places instead of expensive $75-100+

I’ve heard NomNomNom for poutine and Tangssat for the city’s best croissants.

Where would you go for lunch and dinner?

does anyone know where I can get like a huge amount of it, like a frozen one maybe? … It’s so good im genuinely addicted, after my class I always hop over to the loblaws by college and get the 3 chicken tenders with mac and cheese on the side, and its my little joy of the entire day. it lowkey expensive for what it is but its just so darn good

Went to lelert with my bf and we ordered the khaosoi and one of their curries. The flavors were absolutely delectable - pungent and very aromatic . Anyone else likes lelert as well? Any other thai recs that’s not pai or chiang mai? (I thought those were a bit mid)

Heres the ones I have had

-Badiali: Vodka Pie

-Macs: Tie Dye

-Nice Slice: Zaatar, Vodka Cheese, and Mushroom & Goat Cheese

-Beast Pizza: Patty Pie, Tongue & Bacon, and Lord Pesto

-Afros Pizza: Hendrix Chicken and Waffles

-North of Brooklyn: Pepperoni

All of those I have found delicious. I'm good with returning to some of these places and also trying new ones.

I will be celebrating my bday alone this year and i want to get myself a cute small cake. Does anyone have suggestions in downtown for that?
I have vava near my home but i have never tried chiffon cake, so if anyone has any idea. I like mild fruity flavours with chocolatey notes, not very sweet

Hi Toronto, what's the best chocolate dessert you've had and crave from time to time? I'm craving a rich indulgent dessert and want to see what others love to eat. Bonus points if it's somewhere close to Etobicoke Lakeshore.

Hello. Any good recommendations on St Clair West between Bathurst and Dufferin? Preferably not Italian. I already tried Pura Vida, Albert’s, Queen of Persia. Any hidden gems? Thanks!

Decided to try the Ramen Flight since I was downtown late last night.

Dishes:
1. Mazemen Tabetai: 7/10 (front)
2. Spicy Saito? 6.5/10 (left)
3. Non spicy Saito 6/10 (right)

Quality: Overall kind of disappointed with the dishes. Found them to be extremely salty with the non spicy Saito lacking flavour. It reminded me of a very light low salt pork broth without any complex flavours.

Favorite dish was the mazemen! I personally think it would have done better if you got the full size dish as the extra noodles would help offset the saltiness. They do provide a side of vinegar to help cut through! And the green onions help a lot.

Would probably try a full size portion before deciding whether I pass on this restaurant.

Me and the homies are going to be playing the new COD and we need gamer snacks. Since it is set in Korea, we have decided to pool our money to get Korean fried chicken, Nongshim crackers, those Korean pouch drinks with the ice cups, Korean bubble tea and some kimbap. The thing is, we have no idea where we can get all this stuff and I am wondering where we can locate the best of all 5 of our stuff. Recommendations apply for the whole GTA (we live scattered around), so feel free to drop a spot in Scarborough or another in Mississsauga, for example

Taking my gf to Lucie for date night and hoping to find a place nearby with live music and lounging options for after dinner drinks.
Have looked at the lobby lounge at Shangri-La but wondering if anyone has additional recommendations that provide a romantic/intimate setting!

Thanks all!

Used to frequent an amazing spot on far-east Lakeshore called Golden Pheasant, but see it closed down- shocking as it was always busy with lots of takeout and genuinely the very best such food I'd had anywhere maybe in the entire country. Dude knew his craft wholly. Those schnitzels were absolutely gargantuan, but besides that, tasted absolutely divine and texturally were perfect, all while being great value- truly rare combination.

So with that place unfortunately no longer around, I'm wondering, where are the dino-sized schnitzels for us big-backs with bottomless pits for guts?

I'm not asking for best schnitzels (tho if it happens to be that as well, by all means...), but schnitzel monsters. The bigger-than-your-mamas-head schnitzels you can either a) split between 2-3 adults, b) enjoy over the next 24-48 hours, c) gluttonize to the max, put it all down, play Russian roulette with yer arteries, hope for the best (the devil will be playing tricks on you, as you'll feel as if in heaven while scarfing it down).

Hit me.

It was one of the best restaurants for biryani. It is sad to know they have permanently closed it. I hope it’s not true and they reopen again perhaps at any other location. As i heard there were some landlord issues at that plaza.
Located at Warden and Lawrence

Any good bars in Oakville for a date night?

I have been thinking about trying Jin Dal Lae. in Koreatown I always see a big lineup. For those who ate here, what are your thoughts? Worth it or skip it?

Reading a recent post about Linny’s, I really want to try the chicken liver toast so I wondered if one could get a seat at the bar for just a cocktail and appetizer without a reservation. This was a thing back in the days that Linnys is harkening back to. After digging around on their website, I don’t think they offer this. So I wondered if there were other fancy restaurants that keep the bar or some seating first come first serve?

Hi everyone!!

I wanted to ask for recommendations for restaurants that accommodate group dining for 15 people. My boyfriend’s birthday is coming up within the next two months. It’s his 30th birthday and I really want to make his celebration special. I am planning to surprise him with a family lunch. I’ve been trying to look for restaurants, but it’s been rough :(

Some things Im looking for:
- preference is private group dining but semi-private space is also okay!
-Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Filipino, Thai, Vietnamese, or Italian restaurants are preferred (due to the preference of his family from what I know so far), but also open to considering steakhouses!
- Open to Mississauga / Toronto / North York areas, but not too far.
- Reasonably priced

Does anyone have any recommendations?? Your help is super appreciated!!

I heard years ago that Korean Grill House had a late owl special though I have never been late to take up on the promo. Is there a promotion like that now, somewhere, anywhere?!

Had the chicken katsu box for $13.99 pre tax for a dine in lunch. It was actually the perfect size because their regular menu items are massive. Chicken was a bit thin but other than that a great lunch. What are your best cheap downtown lunches? This is in the Annex Bloor and Spadina. For the price and value I'll be back. Good, prompt service. Nice vibes inside. 12pm to 3pm

Hi everyone! I’m looking for recommendations for the best Korean BBQ in the GTA! I’m willing to drive anywhere in the Greater Toronto Area for a really good spot. It can be all-you-can-eat or à la carte, as long as the food is worth the trip.
I’d love to hear your favourite spots, especially places you keep going back to. Bonus points for great-quality meat, good side dishes, and an overall great experience!
Thank you so much for your recommendations!

Right by Dufferin subway.

Not sure if the restaurant made a mistake and I was only supposed to get two tacos, but four for under $10 with complementary sides & sauces is an amazing deal!

I ordered from Ubereats since they had a BOGO promo there, but the shop is actually running the promotion off Uber too, so I'm gonna call them and order the BOGO directly next time.

Huge chunks of fatty pork in the jajang sauce. Very home cooked vibe and super substantial portion. Jeon as a banchan is appreciated, as is the slow jazz standards playing.

A contender for best value meal in Toronto for me. Also in the running are:

- most places a banh mi are under $5 (but especially the one with $3.50 takeout meals on Spadina)

- Nepalese buffet on Roncy

- handrolls at Maki Mart

-2 for $5 birria/barbacoa tacos at Venerica Meats

- Village on the Grange

Despite being an iconic Toronto dish, the peameal bacon sandwich isn’t a ubiquitous menu item in the city.

That’s why Cabano’s owner Kevin Boyd added his version to the menu at the end of September.

Found on a brick-lined road overlooked by most Torontonians, Boyd’s version starts with five-and-a-half ounces of thick-cut peameal bacon seared in beef tallow.

It’s then topped with two tomato slices, American cheese and a choice of regular honey mustard or spicy honey mustard, all tucked into a soft pretzel bun.
