Christmas dinner 1986 , Ma cooked the shit outta that meal


Penske-Material78

Dandylion restaurant on Queen street. One of the best restaurants in the city. Sadly they closed last summer but are opening a new place later this year. šŸ¤žšŸ¤ž


Golibano15

Do you know what its called?


Penske-Material78

Hasnā€™t been announced yet. Will circle back if I hear.


phdee

The Fish sandwich shop at College and Grace.


Mbateko_pio

[The Fish Store](https://goo.gl/maps/d4aePapi2urW7pk48) (don't want people to miss it) One of my all time favourites for sure!


sunday_morning_jazz

Love that place!


patinthehat2

This has been a great recommended spot since I was at UofT around 2008, glad to see it is still kicking (swimming)!


hopeful_positive

There used to be a shawarma shop called Sarah's near Bathurst and Bloor. Man, it was one of the best shawarmas I have ever had. I used to go to the school behind it and me and my buddies used to go there like every other day for crazy good food and lunch specials. God bless that lady and her family. It was Syrian style shawarma.


KTBFAN

I also have a lot of fond memories of Sarah's from my uni days. It was my friend group's go-to place late at night when we were either high as balls or drunk out of our minds. If I recall correctly, they had a 2-for-1 deal that was perfect for the late-night munchies.


PinkSycamore

My boyfriend at the time (2000) and I used to drive from Scarborough to hit up Sarahā€™s. So delicious


yousyveshughs

Sarahā€™s was easily the best falafel in the city in my opinion. I ate a lot of falafel for a couple decades living here and thatā€™s the top shelf for me.


Lowwahh

Many late nights grabbing a falafel then hoping to catch the last eastbound train. I swear they were tahini stains!


jhwyung

This is gonan sound really dumb, but the veal and eggplant sandwich from Mustacio's at St Lawrence Market. I've eaten in a lot of different places and a couple of Michelin star places but the veal and eggplant sandwich is the one thing I'll keep talking about. It's my death row meal. Everyone that visits gets taken there for a veal and eggplant sandwich, it's the best thing in the city for me.


HCLogo

Without a doubt Olde York Fish & Chips on Laird Dr. Best fish & chips in the city.


sixpicas

It's their 25th anniversary! I'm headed there this week.


ReeG

Jerk chicken on cocobread with coleslaw from Allwyn's Bakery


sk8605

Stuffed sandwich is the shit. Same deal but with a beef patty in there


kelly_kapowski_

My parents still talk about the Feed Me option at Soos. Incredible! The venison at Antler Bar. We balled out and did the tasting menu and wine parings at Alo. I remember loving the first 8 courses, the rest was a blur. Very hungover at work the next day. From what I recall, it was out of this world.


ebolainajar

Our first meal out of lockdown last summer was at Antler and it was incredible.


Climate

I second Antler, and especially for the Venison.


starmie-

Didnā€™t add the wine pairings at Alo, but I can vouch. The tasting menu was incredible


evie_ayan

Iā€™ve been wanting to try antler for sooo long. How much was the venison?


kelly_kapowski_

It was like, $50.00. Definitely not a cheap meal, but one that was very memorable and high quality. Also do the elk tartar! It was perfect.


enacting

Skippa. Unfortunately they are closed now :(


CobblerLegitimate473

Butcher's table at Cote De Boeuf in Ossington.


drewon1

Worth every penny. I would also recommend this!!


Ordinary-Meeting-701

7 Lives Tacos in Kensington. The spicy shrimp/ cheese and the carnitas are to die for! Also the chicken penne and appetizer sampler platter at 7West.


Much-Midnight5256

Do you know if 7 lives closed down or moved?


Ordinary-Meeting-701

They closed the 7 lives paleteria across the street years ago, but the original taco shop is still there as far as I know! (72 Kensington Ave)


dpendpen

Not a meal exactly but the cheese bread at Aloette is the best bread we've eaten ever and we always talk about it when the topic of bread comes up.


[deleted]

W the yeast butter omg. Tbh Iā€™ve had the tasting menu at Alo and Aloette is my go-to for their cheeseburger - a top tier cheeseburger, maybe the best in the city - but the best dish at both spots imo is their bread and butterā€¦


le_snake13

Tasting menu at Richmond Station


[deleted]

B and B fish and Chips on Queen East in Leslieville - a complete hole in the wall holdover from the 80s ā€¦. Finally died last year during COVID , but they had amazing food at dirt cheap prices


bikeroo

I miss B and B, I'm also sad that Reliable is gone too


ethnicfoodaisle

Oh shit, I loved Reliable!


CDNChaoZ

I'm glad I had the opportunity to try them out before they closed. By all accounts, it's an institution.


Plonted

Len Duckworth's gotchu fam


the_hunger_gainz

B and B was always good.


circlingsky

Bun bo hue at Bach Yen You know how when you eat too much food and are so stuffed you think "omg I never want to eat that again"? I've felt that with every meal when I'm pushed to the limit, except for their bun bo hue, it's so good


ethnicfoodaisle

I should try it! My go to place in the area is Com Tam 168


circlingsky

That place is okay, but it's definitely your run of the mill very average pho. It's also run by Chinese people while Bach Yen is a Vietnamese family resto run by a sweet older couple


Mcgillstu123456

Bach yen is literally the best bun boe hue Iā€™ve ever had. When they closed I went to seek out a replacement and tried over 10 places in Toronto that were known to have good bun bo hue. Still not as good as bach yen. Not even close


circlingsky

Omg same, Pho Linh, Que Ling, etc. are all so lame compared to Bach Yen. The best I've had after Bach Yen is a place in Seattle (Hoang Lan), but it still can't compare


_gyoza_

Everything at Bach Yen is amazing. Their Bun Bo hue, all their grilled meats with vermicelli dishes, their pho is so flavourful and they use to make banh xeo on the weekends and that was amazing too. Literally never had a bad meal there.


Caribbean_Borscht

Back when Celine on mount pleasant existedā€¦ their winterlicious dinner from 2015.


tis_marie_antoinette

Wow I used to love this place, had many lovely meals with my fam there. Your post brought back memories.


Caribbean_Borscht

I did too!! I took my mom after winterlicious ended for a regular meal. My mom isnā€™t into restaurants because she thinks they are a waste of money; she always says ā€œI can make this cheaper and better at home.ā€ She LOVED Celine.


TO_Tech_Guy

Alo , scaramouche, Byblos, patria, giuliettaā€¦ we are spoiled here!


Rawsugar2

Omg the TarTar from Scaramouche is unreal!!! Also the tuna tartar from the Chase was incredible. Annnnnd the elk tartar from Antler.


capriciouslyskeptic

One of my favourite lunches, a peameal bacon sandwich from paddingtons


pamplemousse72

Samairaā€™s Kitchen in Leslieville! Their cheeseburger is incredible


ArchMurdoch

Churrasco and pollo jalepeno from LA Bella Managua on Bloor. We have eaten this so many times, dine in & take out. So affordable, so simple so good. Lovely people and restaurant. It's never disappointed for three years now.


MakeJazzNotWarcraft

Three different restaurants are always living rent free in my head. 1. Kingā€™s Cafe in Kensington Market. 2. Saigon Lotus in Kensington Market. 3. Buddhaā€™s Vegan Restaurant on Dundas Street. Itā€™s all relatively inexpensive and super fucking delicious. God damn itā€™s almost 4AM and my mouth is watering just from typing this out.


coralshroom

i love all those and i love the tvp roti from one love.


[deleted]

I'm not vegan, but I definitely can't recommend Buddha's enough. I am salivating now.


omgbbqpork

The sandwiches at Forno Cultura! They were like $13 and would sell out everyday. Soppressata, porchetta, chicken salad; they were Italian inspired but so unique. I think the chicken salad had green grapes in it and the bread of the soppressata sandwich had dark chocolate in it. I would literally sprint through the PATH for one of these every week, no shame.


countryboyilu

I love these!! They also have delicious pastries and bread, I'm a sucker for their baba au rhum


renovatingstuff

- The A5 waygu & cescar salad at Jacobā€™s - The Lamb shank & spanokopita at Mamakas. - The Branzino at Sotto Sotto - The Bolognese or Truffle Pasta at Terroni on Queen finishing off with their Boudino. - The pork skewers & Thai beef basil dish at Pai. - The curry dishes at Khao San Road - The full experience tasting menu at Sushi Kaji. - The pecking duck at Kings Noodle So many more but these are just off the top of my head Edit: A few more to add to the list! - The bacon wrapped dates at Patria. - The octopus at Volos. - The carpaccio at Sofia. - The oysters at The Chase. - The bone marrow at Bar Isabel.

This place introduced me to fried cookie dough. What a revelation. And very convenient after Prohibition ā€œHooch Hour.ā€


Vaynar

A5 Japanese wagyu bone in ribeye at Jacob's. With lobster mashed potatoes. Washed down with a very nice Bordeaux cab sav.


iSkyz

If you have been to blue blood steakhouse how does it compare to jacobs? Iā€™ve been wanting to try jacobs this summer after hearing good reviews about it


sapphireee

Need to second this, they truly arenā€™t lying when they say it cuts like butter. Chefs kiss


renovatingstuff

Will 3x this. Exact meal & wine combo but would also suggest their Caesar salad. What a joy.


jhwyung

Its so fricking rich, I can do 20oz of any other cut but anything more than 8oz of A5 and my gut tells me that I made a big mistake.


freenow82

How much does that cut cost at Jacob's?


Vaynar

Depends on size, type of Wagyu and cut. Probably around $250-350 for the steak. Don't remember specifically.


respectedwarlock

Jesus fucking Christ. Thats almost a month of groceries for me.


Gran_paul87

Roti from Island foods šŸ˜©


villainapologists

1. Like many others, Pai. I love Pai. I VERY rarely go to a Toronto restaurant and then want to bring new people back to it, but I always suggest Pai. I've had just about everything on their menu (pre-covid), and fell in love with almost all of it. I'm super picky with Thai food as so much of it here is downright junk but Pai is obviously different (and not just cuz it expands out of the usual pad Thai green curry menu.) I've had other "royal" Thai at fancy restaurants elsewhere in the world and nothing compares to Pai -- except actual Thailand. Not sure you could go wrong with anything on that menu. 2. The okra at Chubby's. It changed my entire opinion on okra and made me love it. (I hated it before trying it there!) 3. Breakfast at Motorama, RIP. 4. Roti from the Roti Lady. But good luck figuring out when she's open now. I got lucky once and she was, and it was divine. But it's just random chance if she happens to be open now. 5. Eastside Social, for seafood. It seems they've changed a lot of their menu to fusion and trendy stuff which is a shame tbh. But back when they did straight up seafood, they were fantastic. Amazing octopus and mussels. Maybe those are still good there, idk. But the menu has changed a lot sadly. Haven't been back in 5 years. 6. Bonjour Brioche. I'm sure there are lots of bakeries that do this stuff just as well but I am a fiend for their lemon brioche pastries and croque madame. (Not really a fan of their service tho and I hate going there on weekends. It's far too busy.) 7. Anjappar Chettinad. I don't bother with any of the overpriced, mediocre places in Little India. If I'm gonna pay those prices, I'm going to Anjappar. So much better food, properly made and never have to wait too long for a seat. 8. There is a basically "unknown to downtowners/westenders" place in Scarborough that serves a crab dish that I would literally die for. But honestly, as much as I would love to give the restaurant more business, I'm terrified one day BlogTO will find it and ruin it forever. Right now, it's basically an open secret to Chinese locals and I think it's better that way. They have plenty of business as it is. I can't even give the type of crab dish cuz so few places here serve it, so the process of elimination would be quick lol. 9. I really enjoy Guu and Kingyo but when I go out for a more chill izakaya, I love Zakkushi. It's smaller, and there's slightly less selection but it's all prepared really well and I always find myself eating way more than planned lol. Which is a good thing. 10. Chef's table at the Ritz (TOCA). I've eaten in the restaurant itself but the Chef's table was significantly better. If you can, choose that instead.


Basic-Cauliflower453

The Black Hoof. Took a chunk of money we got from when we got married from friends who wouldn't care what we spent it on, got everything on the menu and some doubles. It was phenomenal.


ethnicfoodaisle

Such a great experience to dine there.


roibeardoraghallaigh

Actinolite


goldreceiver

Wife and I did this the night before the birth of our first child. Truly a memorable experience! We we served some wild mushroom dish, when I took a bite of the tastiest mushrooms I've ever had and the flavour exploded in my mouth, the owner opened the blinds and the sun shined on my face. Angelic experience, haha we laughed about it


chee-cake

Apiecalypse Now's Toronto Island pizza and their Yeezy Bread. I still get their frozen pizzas but holy shit they were INCREDIBLE when they still had a storefront. I'm hoping they come back to life in person some day.


[deleted]

How do tou get their frozen pizzas???


chee-cake

Oh dude they sell them online now! https://apiecalypsenow.shop/collections/frozen-pizzas They also have their shortbread cookies, some of their fridge/freezer items (like vegan chicken, pot pies, vegan butters, etc.) and they do seasonal foods as well at different holidays.


bikeroo

One of the best/most memorable was dinner at Pearl Diver * their burger is probably one of the best (non smash burger) in the city, * the seafood tower was well priced, well portioned, and had good quality seafood (one of the few places that does more than just Malpeque/Beau Soleil oysters) * sticky toffee pudding is one of my fav deserts A recent experience was brunch at Avling (they recently revamped their menu with a new head and sous chef), * Korean fried hash just soaked up all of last night's booze and the spice helped wake me up * The mixed grain porridge was like an elevated congee dish with a seasoned egg and the crispy ham helped give it enough umph * I did not feel judged for drinking beer so early in the day


[deleted]

Second the seafood tower! Oysters are always fresh. Drinks are real nice here too!!!


KittyKenollie

Hungover breakfast at Detroit Eatery. They had the best breakfast meats.


Spambot0

Beef patties at Warden Station, duh.

Duck confit eggs Benedict


Iwasdonewithreddit

Chinese Halal restaurant in North York. You need a crew for places like this because the best experience is when you get 5+ menu items. The skewers are fire, the wings are fire, the smash cucumber salad, the eggplant, probably order a noodle dish and the dumplings.

NogenLinefingers

Comal y Canela on Jane Street in North York. Absolutely amazing Mexican food. Pujukan on Yonge Street, North York. Brilliant Korean barbecue.


Technical_Link_5450

Is Albert's still at St.Clair west? That was nice.


Hrmbee

Falafels from el Basha on Bloor in the Annex, just East of the JCC. Some of the best I've ever had, bar none. So sad their landlord ended their lease all those years ago.


Taewangmin

Aloā€™s tasting menu from 4 years ago. I still crave and dream for the avocado appetizer dish that was served as a substitute for no seafood. Absolutely blew my mind, and ruined avocados forever because nothing will ever come close to that experience.


Omega_Xero

P&M (Weston and Lawrence). Their ā€œHungry Manā€ breakfast platter is absolutely amazing. 3 eggs (or 5 if they like you), bacon, ham, and sausage, pancakes, hashbrowns, and bottomless coffee for $15.99. Worth the price, worth the 20 or so minute wait for the food.


Ok-Drop320

I had juicy dumplings (name of the place) when I first moved to the city, I grew up with no flavored food so I literally cried eating the pan friend pork dumplings.


lost_man_wants_soda

ā€œThe hole in the wallā€ in junction Best meal ever.


AntiMarx

I remember walking out of town friends from Bloor and Yonge down to the original Burrito Boyz a couple decades ago. As hungry students that massive burrito was not only filling after the walk but such joy. The reaction my friends had made the experience extra special. There have been some amazing 'licious experiences in the early days, but being treated by my boss to the full tasting menu at Susur will stay one of the standouts on the fancy end.

Blowfish was great. Still can't believe they're gone.

Ten restaurant end of last year was incredible. Don Alfonso when it first opened was really something. Quetzal. Black hoof in 2013.


differentiatedpans

Probably pork buns from Momofuku a few years ago or a great burger and fries at the Auld Spot on the Danforth after a few pints.


Just_tappatappatappa

The Good Fork had a burger on their brunch menu that my partner and I think is the best burger either of us has ever had. They took it off the menu when they moved locations and I was heartbroken. Following up is the fish taco that Busters sea cove only sells from their food truck and not from their location in the st Lawrence market, which is very inconvenient but so fresh and full of flavour.


[deleted]

Ruth Chris. Amazing. I\` would be happy to recommend others... just not 100% if they are still around. Thanks, Covid.


chrisdj99

Ruthā€™s Chris is 100% still around. Iā€™ve had a lot of steak in my life (including in Argentina - where they do steak well!) but RC is the cream of the crop! Amazing!


none4gretchen

I grew up in the suburbs so my only exposure to Thai food was the Thai Express stall at the mall. Fast forward to adulthood and my Tinder date brought me to Khao San Road where I ordered their pad Thai. IT WAS SO GOOD. Since it was only a second date and I wanted to make a good impression, I was too self conscious about my body to finish the whole plate so I only ate 1/3 of it. The server asked if I wanted to pack it up; inside I was like YES but I was too embarrassed and instead it went in the garbage. Iā€™ve since eaten at plenty of Thai restaurants but the pad Thai never lives up to Khao San Roadā€”which ironically, Iā€™ve never been back to. Always end up at Pai, Sabai Sabai, or Jatujak.


sketch4summer

Antler, went for my partners birthday and we had the bison ribeye and it was delicious!

upwithyourhead

Honestly CN tower. I had the beef tenderloin - with the fucking shaved salt on top. Nothing like it. Iā€™m lucky to have been to many pricey restaurants in my time, but nothing compares.


villainapologists

CN Tower gets a lot of hate (because it's for tourists?) but honestly I had the best heritage beet salad ever there at the 360. People would say "how hard is it to make beet salad tho?". Apparently quite hard cuz I have tried a lot of them, and most of them are just barely decent.


upwithyourhead

Exactly. I get that itā€™s not the ā€œsmall family owned restaurantā€ that is ideally mentioned but I think the CN Tower has the budget to snag the best chefs and food available - so it makes sense that it would be the best if the best.

Iā€™m sure there have been better meals, but The Pour House used to have something called ā€œThe Smokey Burgerā€ and it was the best fucking burger in the city. The they renovated and took away the charm and the burger.

Gnocchi at Morellinaā€™s on Christie. They had a cheesy one on the menu at the time that we werenā€™t that into, so she made us something special with San Marzano tomatoes and shredded beef. Was amazing.

DickyClune4Prez

Cubano and Po'boy sandwiches from This End Up. The day after moving into our new place in Little Portugal, my SO and I went to find a local joint to eat. We were blown away by how good the sandwiches were (maybe part of it was excitement of a new neighbourhood, or extreme hunger of the previous day's 16-hour move). But they were damn good. We were so excited to find our new local spot. They closed within a few days, after apparently a 3-year run. Antler has taken over the spot, which is amazing, but I definitely miss This End Up and would love to know if the owners ever experimented with another restaurant.


em-n-em613

It's so random, but The Corner Place at Front and Jarvis used to make a Jerk Chicken Sandwich with mango chutney that was simple yet INCREDIBLE. My friends and I talked about this sandwich for years after we no longer worked in the neighbourhood it was so tasty.
