Hmmm. The kitchen (and perhaps ownership) seems to have changed hands. The hearty, home cooked meals are gone. They've been replaced by a confusing set of dishes that have no connection to the Big Ragu's original appeal. Something is amiss and it's making this place slide. show more
Yummy and very reasonably priced!

Had brunch here yesterday. Love the vibe and the food was amazing. All of it is made from scratch. I was able to chat with the owner Lucy and she is so friendly and down to earth. It is worth the trip to the Junction if you are not close by. show more
Great cafe. I hosted a mom's event here once during off-peak hours and they were very nice about it. If you want to organize a group I would call ahead since it is quite small place. There is parking on all the surrounding streets if needed. The food is excellent homemade fare. The owners work very hard to make everything from scratch (other than the bread). Delicious! show more

Vintage furniture and funky art to make your home more interesting. Smash has amazing pieces if you like old and eccentric mixed in with great design. I highly recommend it, although, don't go there looking for a bargain. It's a place where you need to check in regularly to see what they have uncovered. show more
I've been buying fish from Osler for 15 years or more, and it is always fresh and well prepared. The folks can tend to be on the gruff side but they know their fish. It's located right at the top of the railpath, so it is a nice bike ride too. show more
Yummy organic Bison Burgers with caramelized onions.
Or a hearty homemade tofu & walnut vegan burger. Let's just keep all the options open.

This is where Mexicans go to eat
Great affordable Indian take-out. Nice owners.
It's great to have an eco-store in the Junction and the staff here are very friendly and they seem to have put a lot of thought into what they carry.
Friday mornings they sometimes have reading circle
Heard about this from a friend of mine- apparently fresh fish brought in daily- closer to you I think. Let me know if you have a chance to check it out.
Who doesn't like gelato?! And especially if it's authentic Italian gelato. This place has been around for-ever because they know their gelato. And make a mean espresso too. Yummmm!
This is not a store front... but if you find their baked goods in a health food store they are worth a try even though they are vegan! I'm not vegan and I really enjoyed their carrot cake. It had lots of flavour and spice. yummmmmmm show more
Despite the St. Clair renewal, with new businesses popping up weekly, this is among the classic Italian restaurants in Corso that has endured time. This is not a dated establishment though. It has a really vibrant dinner scene on peak nights. Fans and locals visit this place with some regularity. The sign may not jump out at you when you walk by but have a peek through the window. Plates line the walls and the tables are tightly packed. It's a cozy place with tons of character and very good food.I have to admit that I've only had the prix fixe menu here so I need to visit again to get a bigger picture of what La Bruschetta truly has to offer. The food and wine was most enjoyable though so I will certainly go again. Dinner and wine for two will set you back $100 + for a full course meal. The vibe here invites you to spend 2.5 hours for dinner though so it's a pleasant place to linger before walking it off on the stretch. show more
Tre Mari has an unassuming look about it but make no mistake! This place has so much to offer. I gravitate to the breads, fresh pizza dough ($1.85!) when we want to make our own, and Portuguese desserts. The almond cookies and mini chocolate mousse cakes are top notch and addictive. The cafe area fills up constantly so it has a hustle & bustle feel about it. This is among the classic local haunts in Corso. show more
You'll never want to order from a chain again. Pick Up or delivery. It's not uncommon to walk in to find a party of 20 celebrating in there with wine and dinner. An excellent, well established, family business.
CHoaG has fantastic tarragon Mennonite chicken sandwiches- just to mention one thing in particular. Brunch on weekends is delish. Many of their offerings are organic. Weekends can get busy- so don't show up prime time completely starved. The space is bright and cute with local art on the walls. They are open 9-4pm daily and open at 7am on weekdays. show more
The beet, the beet, the beet is on fire. Ok... it's not on fire... but I sure like this place. As long as you aren't looking for bargains! But the value is there- healthy stuff for lunch or some veggies and bread to take home.It's a cute little cafe with a grocery section. Mainly organic. show more
