i tried the tacos and granted i let them get cold and reheated them in the micro when i got home, with the beans and rice tossed on they made for pretty good eats. always in search for good take-out options, i'll go back and try the tortilla soup and ceviche that ann-marie recommends! show more
I won't dispute the quality of Patachou's croissants. Further to that, they have an excellent selection of sweets. I'm definitely a fan. I have to be honest though. I posted my vote for Pain Perdu's croissants just East of here. I'd recommend that those wanting to visit should just try both. You be the judge. show more
The croissants at Pain Perdu rival the best in the city. I am actually *thankful* that I can get to this place by foot or bike. The weekend morning rush gets busy. Call ahead to place your order for Mother or Father's Day. It's also a nice cosy place to have cup of coffee and read while the staff bake throughout the day. They also prefer to be addressed in French so here's your chance to put your bilingual skills to work in T.O.! This is a must visit place if you're on the St. Clair West stretch. show more
I've had a chance to try a few things on The Stockyards' menu, all prepared in their hand made smoker out back. The smokey smell that crawls to the street will draw you in when you walk by. This is not a light meal by any stretch! You will leave there with your stomach full! Not bad value either but I wouldn't call it inexpensive. Lunch and a soda will set you back over $12. I will go back for sure just try more of their fare. The make their fresh lemonades and limeades there as well. While I'm all for healthy eating, it's nice to see BBQ establishments such as the Stockyards make their way back into our foodie culture here. show more
Community hub. Expensive but interesting farmers market on Saturday mornings. My kids love the sandbox with the water tap in the middle of it. Feels like an urban beach for kids in there. The playground is too sunny (bring sun glasses) but my kids like it because it's more challenging than most playgrounds in the neighbourhood. Skating rink in the winter is awesome (regular rink plus a long winding path made of ice. Really nice community dinners there to support the Stop food bank. show more
The owner grew up in the area and roasts his own coffee in the basement. He has kid's toys at the back and is very relaxed. There is also music in the evenings (jam sessions) but since we have kids, we ever get out! The service is slow and relaxed so you can't go if you in a big hurry. show more
The search for delicious Mexican in Toronto is quite challenging. El Rincon has amazing Tortilla Soup and Ceviche; but the tacos leave something to be desired...like a selection of sauces to throw down on your crispy or soft, flour or corn, tortilla selection. About 10 types of tequila on the menu. 2 floors and a patio. It does the trick for a Mexican fix. show more
