Sara AlShaker: Simit is a traditional Turkish bagel found on every corner in Turkey. Finally made its way to Toronto! You can have it plain or with cream cheese and olive tapenade with a side of Turkish tea!
Rob Iacocca: The Turkish coffee is good, but the bagel... Oh the house bagel is delicious. The Owners and staff are seriously nice too, which is a great bonus.
Michael Katz: Consistently delicious simit and savory treats!

Katie Andrade: Really fun place with a good vibe and tasty food. Their drinks are also great and reasonably priced. Great for group dinners!
Mazen Baradhy: Awesome new pub in Leaside (equally great one in Liberty Village too). Loved the vibe and the food. Burgers are mouthwatering. Get the Baja fish tacos for appetizers and you won't be disappointed.

ᴡ Rica: Great food, good price, interesting concept
Izabela M: The food/service are great like at any other Keg I've been to, but the mansion interior is so much more interesting. Many cozy booths. Great for groups or romantic dinners. Free parking.
NY Islanders: In the NHL offseason, there is a good chance you'll find Josh Bailey, Ryan Strome, or maybe even John Tavares enjoying their red meat at this favorite spot of theirs.
Sarah Yu: Ask you server for the 'ghost log' book...a collection of haunting sightings by staff and guests....

Dan Brown: great sausages, great for groups. Kind of expensive though.
Aleksandra Szumska: Great bison wurst! A variety of meat, bears and great ambience! It truly reminds me of Berlin.
Yuri Victor: The chorizo sausage with jalapeños will erase your childhood. Jesus will come down from heaven and wipe the sweat from your brow. Then your face melts off.

Cantonese Restaurant · Sunnybrook - York Mills · 38 tips and reviews
Danique Williams: I go for the chicken fried rice, sweet and sour pork, spring rolls and barbecue pork. Not the best drink menu options so just have water or Chinese tea. Good for groups and nice long opening hours.
Cara Lau: Oh man, what’s not to love. It’s all the comfort food in the world. If you’re not Asian and feeling adventurous, get a half duck and the liver congee. To everyone else, the plain cheung fun is 👌.
KPL: Great food for great prices! The service is crazy fast too...

Japanese Restaurant · Willowdale · 16 tips and reviews
Kittie Chan: Newly opened North York location. Same quality as downtown ones and equally good, loud, vibes :) If they have it that week, try the jumbo shrimp sashimi on the special menu.
Maryam Gh: It is amaziiinngg. Love the oyseter here. They have the best baked oyster and it tastes super delicious . Very fun place
Ghazal N: Great place, love the oysters, octopus balls and sesame ice cream! Beer mugs are 1L each! Order accordingly! :-D
Lester Kan: Sumba dancing more like gimmick but the food is very solid. The best Brazilian cuts in the world, even better than Brazilian steakhouse in Brazil. This is a busy restaurant and better book in advance.
Jeremy Slessor: Strategy!!! Don't just take everything they offer when they offer it. They know when you've JUST seated and will bombard you and over stuff you with choices! Just relax and take your time.
Nikki B: If I knew it was AYCE salad I wouldn't have went. I don't eat meat and I thought they had a menu but was forced to pay $60 for terrible service and salad. Never again. An it's over priced!!

Sasha Lutsaievskyi: Amazing beers! Balanced taste, even for some funky sours. A lot of IPAs almost without any sweet malt base taste, a paradise for hopheads.
Brian McCabe: Good beer, nice environment to sit with friends and talk. Lots of infants and little kids running around though, which was kind of weird.
Greg Donaldson: Great local brewery. Try the Sunlight Park or Maris if they are in stock - both delicious!
