Tokyo Sushi on the Queensway in South Etobicoke
One of my favourite takeout sushi restaurants in Toronto is Tokyo Sushi. I remember being very excited when it opened about ten years ago on the Queensway, because there weren’t very many sushi spots in the neighbourhood. Many have come and gone since then, but I’m very happy that Tokyo Sushi is still here. It’s […]

Morocco House in Etobicoke #WorldInMyCity ~Algeria

The Butter Chicken Roti menu features classic Indian dishes with a contemporary take. The food is so tasty and the service is excellent. I like their spice scale: Mild- Is water a […]

La Cubana on Ossington
The food in Cuba is wonderful. On our trips to Havana we ate some really delicious stuff, drank some perfect cocktails and woke up every morning to the best coffee outside of Rome. I didn’t think I would taste mojitos or medianoches like I had in Havana right here in Toronto. From the authentic pressed […]
