Tips near Queen Street West

Oh my god this place has the best sausages!!! A friend brought these over last night and were they ever delicious. Some are spicy and all are gooood!

Went for dinner on a cold dark winter night and had the best Thai food ever! I highly recommend this place.

Amazing place to buy electronic parts including networking wiring. I'm not sure if they do repairs, but they probably know people who do. Also, they have a "wall o' mystery" and a gorilla in their front doorway. Badass.

cows are just as friendly as horses.

Great americanos and lattes. Choose your espresso bean roast and get a tailored cup. Nice space. The main space is small'n cozy.

Great food nice space. Lots of options for lunch. Tea and coffee. Nice staff. I like this place. Space to work during off hours.

I find that this place provides great personalized service in a relaxed and non-intimidating atmosphere. They stock a unique selection of clothing from a wide variety of designers. Selection ranges from casual, to evening, to corporate attire.

Amazing place for the do-it-yourself-er, gardener, woodworker, high quality tool lover... If you are at a loss for a gift for someone you can always rely on Lee Valley...

Most fantastic salads either to eat in and take out

Delicious organic vegan take-out.

Vegetarian and vegan dishes too. Organic and tasty. A super healthy lunch at reasonable prices. Portions are decent. People are nice.

New Place opened called Knife http://www.torontolife.com/daily/daily-dish/opening-daily-dish/2010/06/01/just-opened-knife-a-queen-west-shop-devoted-to-the-world’s-best-kitchen-blades/

DO NOT let those travelling sharpeners touch your kitchen knives (especially if they were expensive). You can buy a small sharpener at Lee Valley for about $15. with which you can maintain your knives yourself. Once you have the knives honed by a professional (i.e. Pollocks or otherwise) then you can maintain them yourself. If you cut yourself with a dull knife it is much worse than a sharp one! show more

All-vegan burrito and taco place. They also have delicious donuts! Try the "pulled-pork" burritos.

Totally kid friendly. I often go there with a few mommies and babes and we fit right in.

THEY HAVE THE BEST DECAF COFFEE In the city--very important for those who love strong coffee but can't handle the caffeine.

Staff is AMAZING with children. Not too much space for large strollers but they have high chairs.

Great vegan baked goods

Sadie’s is a vegetarian diner with some vegan items on the menu. Great local place. Usually quiet, but service is fine.

A good place to get some authentic thai food for lunch. The place is packed so go early or late. Dinner seems pretty quiet yet. This space has nice modern decor contrasting their original location on parliament - sukho thai- both delicious. Although this space is quite a bit more upscale it is not a lot more expensive. show more

One of my absolute favourite places for vegan food - best on menu? Their mixed salad special! Mmmmm

Basically vegan, with cheese as an option in some dishes. I generally feel healthier after eating here!

Delicious salads that make you feel healthy and energetic.

Marben is mainly for meat lovers, serving local farm meat. They buy the whole animal and cut it inhouse. (Also offer butcher workshop). I am recommending this place mainly for one reason, they have the best Beef Bacon I have ever tasted in my life. It is worth the trip to Wellington, on a Sunday afternoon. Keep in mind that they ran out of things quite quickly and they do not stress about having everything at all times. Service is excellent. show more

I recently had a great lunch here with my business partner. Delicious food, good coffee and great service all combined in this very bright well designed space. The interiors mix industrial elements with teak and reclaimed wood. Just what this area needs- a fabulous bar with food and reasonably priced drinks! show more

Ocho is a boutique hotel with a restaurant / cafe, espresso bar, and liquor bar on its first floor. You may have noticed the astroturf alongside the building... I'm guessing it will transform into a really nice patio in summertime. Hotel rooms open up in June 2011. show more

Great place to work. The space is nice and open, with lots of sun from the front, free wifi and places to plug in your laptop.

I bought a great desk chair here. It was reasonably priced.

An awesome place to find rare hand made world instruments. Great environment and energy, you can really tell they love music it's a great place with a lot of character!

I had my engagement ring repared here. Great little shop. They teach workshops and have lovely things in all price ranges. A nice alternative to places like Experimetal which have gotten quite expensive.
