My fav brunch in town currently. The menu is so fun and mixes things up (brunch food can get repetitive). Food is absolutely delish

I prefer this over din tai fung sorry not sorry. More authentic, less big-chain vibes, quality taste, amazing peking duck

Unanimously toronto's fav thai spot
PAI Northern Thai Kitchen
Everyone is here for the gamjatang hotpot lets be honest

Your chance to try authentic asian pizza (sweeter take)!

Authentic Italian spot with a small but trusty menu (pastas > pizzas here)

Hands down my favourite thin crust pizza. Immaculate crunch, chewy crust, well balanced flavours…
Mac’s Pizza
a cozy, lowkey hunter's lodge-type brewery with bangin Austrian food. Menu is small but so on point!!
Beisl Toronto
Romantic date night spot, fun dress-up occasions, drake hotel's photobooth nearby
