The Drake Hotel's rooftop Sky Bar is one of the best summer patios in the west end; even in winter they've got an open fire pit
Les pretentious than some of it's neighbours, the Beac' is small, crowded on weekends, and our go-to place for a late night dinner. Good taps, and a dj wedged in the corner. Подробнее.
This should be your LAST stop before stumbling home. Get the layered poutine. Trust us, it's worth the extra cash. Heart disease never tasted so good. Подробнее.
Down & dirty weekend karaoke in the Melody Bar; chilled and fancier in the "Cafe"; take your pick. Either way, good food (a french fry "bar" + a sweet brunch), and always something unexpected.
This place takes tequila seriously. Not sure what to order? Try anything reposado or (better) añejo. SIP. Alternate with sips of sangrita--just ask for it. Whatever you do, don't ask for salt & lime!
Arguably the best pizza in the city. Authentic Neapolitan style. No reservations, so go early. Can't? They'll call you when your table is ready. Подробнее.
A great live music venue, but also one of the best Sunday brunches around. Kid friendly, live bluegrass, mountains of bacon. Go early (opens at 11am) to avoid lines. Mariachi Monday is awesome too.
Ceviches are creative & heavenly, short ribs get high praise. Heaven for the fish-friendly, adventurous diner. Named one of the country's best new restaurants the year it opened.
T.O.'s best pho! When one of Toronto's best celebrity chefs--and an Asian chef at that--calls a place one of his favourites, that's something.
Pork Tacos! Great Ontario wine list. Too busy to get a table? They do take-out.
Hawaiian burger. Onion rings. Solid craft brew selection. Sweet but small patio. What more do you need? Sliders are fun too
Omg...south east Asian food-heads rejoice! Nam pla prik and rendang on Ossington?! Who knew.
Odd, but oddly delicious. Decidedly not mainstream beer (or food) flavours, so bring an open mind (think pickled egg & lamb tongue). Always awesome cheese thanks to Glen Echo
OMG-inducing empanadas, croissants AND a mean lasagna. Grab a quick pre-made sandwich if you're short on time
Great bar with a fantastic environment and an amazing selection of beers both on tap and bottle
Scotch eggs! Love your hot sauce? Ask for the chef's secret homemade stash...it's liquid fire and deliciously masochistic
Late night nosh that you'll never regret the next morning. Diner food done with sophistication and attention to detail. Awesome.
The other awesome live music venue in the hood (but the Dakota can't fit as many people!) Great Mexican nosh and solid beers too
This is a great place to eat if you want to feel like you are in another city. Located on a residential side street and inside an old Victorian home it has all the romanticism you could ask for. Подробнее.
Get the hand-chopped sirloin + roasted bone marrow burger! This place is one pen from 6am - 4am on weekends. Whoa.
Solid lobster roll. Uber-fresh oysters. Awesome cajun crab. Serious cocktails. Come early to make sure you get a table
