Restaurants with excellent patiosBar Italia Great food and ambiance. Boulevard Cafe The fish & seafood are a specialty. The patio is wonderful on a warm day. Harbord Street is a pleasant area to browse, walking from the restaurant to Spadina Ave. Bymark Bymark is EXPENSIVE. But, Bymark has the BEST patio in the downtown area for drinks. A lemon ginger cosmopolitan or apple or lichi martini (all $15) will certainly whet your whistle - and may just break the bank, but go ahead and splurge - it's worth it. Bymark is also home to the $33 hamburger. Yes, $33. Well, it's a grilled prime U.S. Burger, 8 oz. With Molten Brie de Meaux Cheese, Grilled Porcini Mushrooms, Crisp Rosemary Onion Rings & Truffle Mustard Aioli. C'est What Very good selection of beers, good bar food. Nice atmosphere for bring folks & playing a game of pool. Ci Vediamo The daily specials are what brings me to Ci Vediamo. They are inventive, flavourful & fresh, always a treat. Embrujo Flamenco Tapas Bar Great authentic Spanish Tapas and the best Sangria in the city with a Flamenco show at no extra cost. Five Doors North 5 Doors North is a trendy yet relaxing, unpretentious restaurant. Only open for dinner, the menu is broken down into several sections (eg. antipasti, primi(pasta), secondi(meat), pesce (fish) & contorni(veggies). Portions are tapas sized and diners are encouraged to pick items from each section. Risottos and seafood are excellent and the ribs are highly recommended. Hair of the Dog By far the best pub in the Gay Village. A comfortable setting with a menu many notches above standard pub fare, and excellent staff. Great for dinner, weekend brunch or just to relax and have a few drinks with friends. Hot House Cafe Lots of good choices at the Hot House, specialities are their summer salads, pizzas & jumbalaya. Very nice place for a group to go. Kei's This restaurant is run by its owner and has tasty food. The size of the place make it awkward to have more than 6 people in your group but the fresh food is worth it! The Mee Goreng is my favourite and the tempura vegetable apetizer is a great way to start the meal. Kensington Kitchen Great casual food. Marcello's Pizzeria Absolutely fantastic Family run restaurant Mitzi's Sister Mitzi's Sister is located on west Queen West, in Parkdale. Get a sense of the real Toronto in this funky neighbourhood of art galleries, antique stores and unique independent retailers. Live music every night, and no cover charge. A favourite with local artists, film people and journalists. Nevada Restaurant While I look forward to discovering what the daily specials are, I really enjoy eating my favourite dishes from the menu. Lots of variety, with lots of flavourful dishes. Penelope Restaurant The food here reasonably priced, always very fresh & flavourful. The shrimps with feta is heavenly. Good wine list & nice desserts - leave room, you won't be sorry. Also located on King Street West across from the Princess of Wales theatre. Queen Mother Cafe The food selection is Asian based (my favorite is the Pad Thai) with some more traditional Canadian selections. Amazing desserts. Friday is a popular lunch time and reservations would be needed. Seating is primarily booth based in the main area and tables on the patio. Remys Restaurant Remys is located in Yorkville, interesting at all times of day. It has a large roof patio, great for groups and for watching people. The restaurant on the street level can accommodate most needs - quiet spots where you can hear what your dinner companion says, party areas for groups, and a lively bar. Pizza is excellent. Prices are reasonable. Southern Accent This is a fabulous restaurant, an old victorian home transformed into a cajun treat. The rooms upstairs are very quaint, intimate and very uniquly outfitted. for example, one of the old bedrooms is now a small dining room, with a comical ghost theme. I can only say it is a fabulous unique setting with great great food. This place is the first time my tastebuds came to life!! Enjoy! St. Lawrence Market St. Lawrence Market is one of the best places to eat lunch in the downtown area because you can find virtually anything you want! I highly recommend the BBQ chicken sandwich from Churrasco's Chicken on the upper level or the chicken/veal/eggplant parmigiana sandwiches as 'big as your head' at Pasta Mia on the lower level. The power sprout salads at Uncle George's Place on the lower level are superb too! |
