Sima Sushi is my favourite restaurant! The food is always fresh, and the service is fast (you can even substitute brown rice for white rice)!
SIMA Sushi - Japanese Cuisine - Kingston, Ontario | Official website of ...
This is where I have been holding some of the writing workshops. Great salads (hummus, chicken) and desserts, especially a chocolate/nuts/caramel treat, so delicious. Their hot chocolates are tasty too.
CRAVE Coffee House & Bakery - Kingston
This is where I have been holding my writing workshops as well. Amazing atmosphere, like a living room of sorts, cozy. The chocolate/ peanut butter balls are delicious, and so is the tea.
Pedal Works Cafe
Great pizzas; can even build our own (especially good because I don’t eat a lot of cheese; I really like pizza with prosciutto). Even the salads 🥗 are large and delicious. Really like the chicken ones (large portions - could be a whole meal) and rec...
Wooden Heads Gourmet Pizza - Downtown Kingston
Osmow’s is great! Open at all hours of the night; especially good for feeding my two active young men (sons). I particularly like the falafel salad, and the chicken/beef dishes are also filling. My two young sons love the sauces too (I just ask for i...
Osmow's Shawarma
I like Jack Astor’s because my young men (sons) love the chicken wings. The upstairs (roof top) patio is great, with the view of market square/ city hall.
Jack Astor's
Great coffee shop on the East side of Kingston! We go there after the gym. Attracts great community networking. Can sit outside in the summer. Have been attracting participants for my writing workshop through notices I have left there. It is inside a...
Patriam Coffee | Kingston Coffee Shop
I particularly like the mango salad and tofu or chicken coconut soup! Usually, I can make a reservation, even when Kingston is busy with all graduating students from all the colleges, universities and schools. It is definitely a quiet place. In fact,...

Really tasty ice cream. There are often lines in the summer. They even opened an affiliate at Market Square! My favourite is chocolate skor! Second favourite: vanilla skor! 🍦
Mio Gelato
Everybody loves Dairy Queen! My fave is the one on Princess Street downtown. Never any queues! And I love the fudge sundae with whole peanuts!
Dairy Queen Grill & Chill
Everyone loves Marble Slab! Build your own ice cream. I particularly like fudge and nuts in there with vanilla ice cream, chocolate covered waffle cone! 🍦 And just found out they’re open till midnight! Yay!
Marble Slab
Has a fun patio in the back and one in the front; many different floors, it’s an old building. The nachos are good, and portions are large enough for my two young men (sons). They like the chicken wings!
The Kingston Brewing Company
Really like the fajitas there and chips and salsa! Patio in the back is fun, near the water!
Lone Star Texas Grill, Kingston
Right on market square in Kingston, it’s a fun wine tasting spot. It definitely has an European feel to it!
Bobbi Pecorino Italian Wine Bar
I like White Mountain ice cream, especially the frozen yogurt with fresh fruit of our choice, all mashed up in a waffle cone. I particularly like blueberry and banana with vanilla frozen yogurt! 🍦
White Mountain Homemade Ice Cream
Great place for ordering in. Enough food for those hungry young men (my sons)! Tasty food. The bowl is great, can add own toppings. The bed can be rice, tasty roasted potatoes or both. Chicken and beef are tasty, can have a bit of each. Reasonable pr...

Great Japanese restaurant! There’s a really good seafood noodle dish. And the sushi bites are really huge. Very quiet. Good to hang out all afternoon. The acoustics are great for conversation. There is even an area where one can sit Japanese style on...

Love the lasagna there, vegetarian and meat, home made, all different sizes! Focaccia is so tasty too (home made). Take out! Just cook the lasagna when I get home.
Pasta Genova | Kingston ON
Very fun spot: along 1000 islands parkway! Can bike in the area (segmented pathways near the water away from cars); goes for kilometres. Then, stop off and have a nice lunch. The turkey sandwich and salad are delicious; and so is the ice cream 🍦 nex...
The Ivy Restaurant
Very fun! The clam chowder was especially tasty, as was the tuna pokey bowl. The bread was fresh!
