Solferino has a nice setup. It's pretty spacious for a gelateria. Their flavour list is large but they don't have all the flavours on it every time. The owners (I think) are this pleasant couple and they bring a nice family feel to the place. A cool place for a date or just to hang out.

Bar Italia has a really no pressure wait staff that gives you lots of time to make your decision. They are super friendly and the service is fast. The menu is pretty much standard Italian food. Portions are good and the dishes taste great. They have a really cool patio out front which is awesome in warm weather.

Although the food is good, portions are generous and the setting is nice, the place has a very fast food feel to it. There are no tables, just benches and you will find yourself sitting next to several strangers. So it's not such a good "intimate dining" place. There is an upstairs area which is more classy but with double the prices for that menu.

I went to Cafe Moroc for Summerlicious. Unlike Jimmy C I had a pretty good experience. The wait staff was pretty polite and they were kind-of hurrying a bit but summerlicious is always like that. The food was good and while the portions were not very large, they were well sized. The whole restaurant is decorated very nicely and has a classy feel to it.

Good old times at Thymeless. Cooled out reggae bar with a chill Rasta bartender and DJ. Most nights are laid back and not too busy. Don't bother paying cover on Friday/Sat. - kind of weird cuz it's the same as Wednesday and it's still usually quiet. Cheap pool, cheap Hemp beer and huge ass speakers bumping some nice reggae

Very interesting cuisine. It is spicy and tasty. Some dishes were better than others but there are a lot of menu options. For your first time, it might be best to order the "sampler". It comes with a small amount of all items. There is a vegetarian available as well. The restaurant is small but has two floors. You may wait for a while before a table. The service was quite slow. We waited for over 30 minutes for the food to arrive. There was only one waitress available and the place was fairly busy so no props on the slow service. Don't go hungry - get there before you feel hungry!

This is a pretty cheap and high quality place. The food is made quickly and is very fresh. They do not take any forms of payment other than cash. No credit, no debit. It's a bit inconvenient. Their menu is quite varied with some options for vegetarians. The decor and lighting are simple and attractive. Basically, it's a self-serve place. Place your order, they cook, and call you to get it when it's ready. Avoids serving staff. Another patron in the restaurant today had a problem with his meal and the girl working there was quite rude to him while addressing his legitimate complaint. To us she was cordial and pleasant but not friendly. Acceptable. The food's good though.

Bistro 333 has a very nice ambiance and is not a snobby restaurant. The staff is courteous, friendly and accomodating. The menu and wine list are well rounded. It can be a bit cramped at times but besides that, it's excellent. There's also Club Menage upstairs with a patio for after dinner drinks or partying.

Tasty, fresh, filling. They offer a variety of unique pizzas. It's a must-try if you are a gluten allergy sufferer.

I had a great time at Mt. Everest. The restaurant is spacious and neat. Decorations are attractive. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food is excellent. Great tasting and they have a large variety of dishes. There is a pretty cheap lunch buffet everyday ($9). Try it out when you want some really good Indian and Nepalese cuisine.

Packed to the brim on weekends. The crowd is varied - people from their early 20s to 30s and 40s can all be found. Maddy's is a massive house that has been converted into an even bigger bar. There are 3 or 4 levels including patios. Multiple bars are located throughout the establishment and all can get busy. The service is pretty good but expect to pay a premium price for the atmosphere. Casual but attractive attire is recommended.

A pretty cool hip hop lounge. On Saturday it wasn't too crowded or dressy. A mid 20s crowd - some of them took the hip hop culture very seriously but everyone was having fun. It's small but it wasn't packed or busy. Comfortable. Drinks were $4.50. They have a nice decor with white leather chairs and couches. The booths are comfy. The DJ was playing lots of hip hop and switched to some reggae after last call.

Very nice interior, beautiful lounge and bar area with expensive televisions and a well stacked bar. The food could have been a lot better - not much flavour and relatively small portions. A "big box" pasta place that charges as much as the smaller, specialty restaurants. The service was really good - very attentive and polite. Other than that, it's really nothing special.

MOD Club/Theatre is an amazing venue in Little Italy. A small place - it can get really crowded during concerts and their club nights but no one's complaining. The crowd is genuine and knows how to party. Don't bother showing up if you're pretentious, superficial and "trendy". The crowd here loves to let loose and enjoy. Their focus is Brit-Pop. To really have a good time on their theme nights, dress up in your favourite 60s gear and get out there!

A great little underground theatre in the St. Lawrence Market. Rainbow is cheap - $4.25 matinees and Tuesdays. They always have a couple of new releases and a few older flicks just in case you missed them when they came out. There's a nice piano in the lobby that anyone can play. Friendly staff, neatly decorated and a pleasant place to watch a cheap movie.

Cheesecakes, regular cakes, ice cream, cocktails, waffles, and other great items. The sundaes and banana splits are amazing. The prices are reasonable. Service was good. A fun place for a date or group of friends.

Highly recommended. Cheaper than Baskin Robbins and great service from Charles. He broke down the flavours and helped us choose. There are a bunch of great options. For two people, it's great to share a medium bowl. 3 huge scoops of ice cream. And it's about $4. Great deal. It's small so get there early in the summer!

Very exciting and loud! The place was pounding out techno and some other random music on Saturday. Very busy so be prepared for slow service. It took us about 20 mins to be served a pitcher of beer and glass of wine. Same for the 2nd round. The place has a bit of a cramped feel but you can get a table if you're lucky. Food looked good. The crowd is people in their late 20s to early 30s. Some were quite dressed up and others were more relaxed. Somewhat pricey overall but you're probably paying for the atmosphere as well.

We walked into this place thinking it was a shisha bar. It's more of a techno thumping, trendy looking place that happens to have shisha around. The crowd seems a bit pretentious - definitely don't wear jeans and sneakers. All the guys had faux-hawks and collared shirts. Some fake tans too! It was busy and seemed very exciting. There was a strange vibe about the place - it seemed to smack of effort. Not my idea of a shisha bar - way to energetic for that.

Inside on Fridays is packed to the brim. We got there around 11:30 - we were on the guestlist and cover is $5 with guestlist before 11:30. So no luck for us. After waiting for about one hour - yes, one hour - in the guestlist line, we finally got in. Cover was now an astounding $15. Talk to the bouncer - he let a couple of us in for $10 each. The coat check and washrooms are in the same area so it's extremely cramped; to the point of being a fire hazard. $3 for coat check. Music on all 3 floors was soca, reggae, hip-hop. Each floor was very busy - not much room at all. The crowd is late teens, early 20s and generally pretty varied. Inside plays good music and has lots of attractive people but be prepared to wait in line, spend lots of money on non-alcoholic related stuff, and be cramped wherever you go.

So far I've had only the pizza and pie at Wanda's. Repeat trips will ensure that I cover everything on the menu. The decor is simple and attractive. There are several clippings of awards won - with good reason. All elements combined for a great visit. Daniel, who was working there during our visit, was very patient and helpful. The pizza tasted great - warmed up just right in the oven. The highlight was dessert. We tried the Ambrosia pie (Apple, Berry and Peach) - delectable. Not too sweet and you can really taste the fruit. The next pie we had was the Peach and Praline - recommended by Daniel. Sweet and luscious. It's a treat to taste warm, sweet peach, pralines and caramelized brown sugar in one bite! A must visit. I recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |

A quaint, small place in a quiet neightbourhood. On Sunday afternoon it's not too busy. Elegantly decorated with nice small touches. The server was very helpful and patient. She made good recommendations when asked for suggestions. The food was good but lacked intensity. It could have been a bit more flavourful - the jalapenos were not very powerful in particular. For the price paid, the portions could have been somewhat bigger. Overall, a pleasant spot to visit but nothing singularly outstanding. A good place to try out.
