Dining in Toronto

Dining in Toronto
I, Mili Jain, am not a critic, foodie, restaurant owner, aspiring chef, promoter or dining connoisseur. I am simply a girl who knows what she likes and what she doesn't, especially when it comes to the social side of life!

I challenged myself (and some unsuspecting friends) to discover our city! To eat at those restaurants we drive by 100 times and never go into. To venture to areas we’ve never discovered and just step out of our own comfort zone. For whatever reason you find yourself here, whether I forced you to follow me or you stumbled upon this page, I hope you will find something that will help create your own adventure and inspire you to try something new.

I challenged myself to try everything ONCE, and to make THE CITY MINE!

And so a non-blogger continues to blog...

    Hoof Cafe is the best brunch I've ever had. Lineups can be long because the place is so small but worth going to once. Not expensive either :)

    @ Laura - dude I would have lost that sheet of paper FOR SURE!

    Thanks for the tips friends! I find these lists to be so subjective which is why I always like to hear people's reccomendations of pleaces they've ACTUALLY eaten at!

    There are many spots missing from that list!

    Here are a couple that are worth your time:

    Boulevard Cafe (Annex)
    Serra (Bloor/Bathurst)

    Great food and atmosphere without the overpriced menus...
