Mystic Muffin
Prices here are insane; better than fast food chains. The mom and pop that run this place day in and day out are exactly as they present themselves – direct but friendly, quick witted, know their value and unafraid to…

Lobster Port
One of Erika’s parents favourite places – there is a lady named Ann who works there who has known Erika since she was a little baby! We also ordered dim sum from here for our tea ceremony event. Food is…

Pho Ngoc Yen 3 (Downtown)
One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Toronto. The flavour is outstanding, complex multi-level and deeply satisfying! We came with a large group (there were 9 of us) this time, and it was easy to make a reservation. Menu is…

Flipper’s Toronto
One of our overarching couple goals is to try all brunch restaurants that are within our vicinity. The food and drink were super delicious, but the service was extremely slow (how can you deny Simon his coffee refill??) This place…

Berczy Tavern
This place used to be Le Papillon, where we had our first date. The food and service quality has definitely improved, but it does still feel like it’s missing something (not sure what). The place itself feels very sultry, but…
