Don’t let the “tavern” fool you! This restaurant underwent a full renovation and now serves excellent British cuisine. They have a great breakfast/brunch menu and a wonderful Sunday family style dinner.

Right across the street is a great Toronto pizza chain. Blondies has eclectic toppings and is always busy, so leave some time. Whether you’re stuck on dinner ideas or had too many weed gummies, Blondies is a great option. Cold Drink / Hot Girl was rated one of the city’s best pizza’s. Jorge recommends The Fourth Majestic with pineapple … a controversial choice.

The terrace is a cool spot on a rooftop with a great view of the city. It’s a popular destination on nice days so not always easy to find a seat. The service is reliably slow, so be prepared to wait a bit, or just order two drinks at once! Margaritas are great.

It’s a patio more than a restaurant, although they have both. The tacos are good and the nachos are quite good. However, it’s really the afternoon and evening drinks that make this place a neighbourhood hit. Margaritas are excellent (sensing a theme?) And Jorge recommends the churros.

Deep dish pizza. We know, DEEP DISH PIZZA?! It won the city’s best pizza award in Toronto Life. It’s really good, so just trust us and try it. For mushroom lovers, Truff-Ghi is a must. When they run out of pizza they just stop making it for the day, so call early enough to get your pizza.

Our favourite neighbourhood restaurant. Fresh Italian pasta, great wine selection, and consistently good daily specials. The carbonara is spectacular. There is a small indoor dining area and small patio. Reservations required.

APPLE FRITTERS! They must have other food, and maybe it’s good, we’ve just never tried. They are famous for their apple fritters, and rightly so.

Neigbourhood coffee shop with a vegetarian menu. The breakfast is sublime. Interesting baked goods, too! Coffee is *very* strong. The owners take great care of everyone — you will feel right at home.
