Mira Mira food is just OK. The patio is nice though.
Milou is pretty good for a shabby chic kinda of french spot. It gets very busy though and no resos
Just looked at their menus and couldn't find it. Did they axe it recently?
I agree, proper donairs are getting nigh-unobtanium again here, after Jessy's closed. Almost have to hop out to Milton now if you want one.
The Wood Owl is good, but not life-changing. Slightly higher quality than its sister The Wren, but I prefer The Wren (more menu items that appeal to me....I admit I'm not a wine and fancy food person). I could eat The Wood Owl's eggplant frites weekly if I didn't care about my health.
Quickly made a reso this week to Osteria Giulia, but had to cancel after looking at the menu more indepth. I have no problem paying for an expensive dinner, but these prices were just mind blowing.

Fonda Balam is exceptional
Not to sound uncultured, but is it really $9 for a taco?
They are substantial tacos. I'm a pretty big eater and their signature dish (2 tacos with consomme and fixings) was plenty for me.
I had the quesabirria ($21) and it was a decent sized meal. Also very tasty. I would go back in a second.
Ya brah.
it's great!

The one thing bl*gto does right is the formatting of their restaurant reviews.
Same same same.
Been to 3 of these. Vela is massively over-rated.
Agreed with this, very pretty inside and decent service but very average food.
Oroshi was amazing. Obviously not the same experience as in-person omakase but quality was exceptional.

~~Mira mira have a Donair on the menu,~~ which is getting hard to find in Toronto
Just looked at their menus and couldn't find it. Did they axe it recently? I agree, proper donairs are getting nigh-unobtanium again here, after Jessy's closed. Almost have to hop out to Milton now if you want one.
Oh no, you're right, the Donair is now gone from their menu. 😭
TIL Jessy's is now closed. What a loss for Toronto, I hope someone realizes our need for donair!
Fuck!
Love me a good Donair. But without a go-to spot I started making my own to great success. Not very hard.
The Wood Owl is good, but not life-changing. Slightly higher quality than its sister The Wren, but I prefer The Wren (more menu items that appeal to me....I admit I'm not a wine and fancy food person). I could eat The Wood Owl's eggplant frites weekly if I didn't care about my health.
Was at Rob Rossi's Osteria Giulia last month. I think I still prefer Giulietta more. Not sure the former is worth the Yorkville price bump.
Milou!! Fantastic spot

Hmm Casa Madera isn't on this list. I guess they couldn't get resos.
