Shawarma

I love Shawarma! My daughter and her boyfriend introduced me to this and I just love the food and flavors. You can choose chicken, pork or vegetarian dishes falafel and have them with rice, salad and potatoes or pita bread.  I had the chicken sandwich shawarma with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and their sauce.  It's so good! Yummy...I went to the one on Derry Rd and McLaughlin. 

Montana's

Locations I've tried are Hw10/Courtneypark, Dixie Auto Mall and Dundas/Islington. Food was good and tasty but you be the judge.  Teriyaki Pork was so good Onion Strings were very tasty  And the Nachos was pretty good too! 

JJ's Japanese/Thai Restaurant

Located at Erinmills Pkway/Mississauga Rd. I had lunch with the tennis ladies and I took my parents for dinner here, it was amazing food! It's quite busy so you might need to reserve a table for sure. Healthy food, great taste and nice ambiance. Teriyaki Salmon with zucchini, so good Seafood fried rice to die for! Sweet and sour fish with stir fried veggies There are so many dishes to choose from and you can have it as "all you can eat" if you wish. Well cooked and seasoned food...delicious! 

Jack Astor's

Celebrate your Birthday at Jack's! Why not go somewhere casual and endulge. Located near Square One on Rathburn. Their nachos are so good Their chicken wings are delicious  For dessert a mini brownie cake with icing and caramel for free!  Because you're celebrating your Birthday. 

The Works, the best burger!

My daughter and I went to "The Works" in St.Catherines at Ontario St and it was the best burger I've had! I had the Skater8 Burger, it had peanut butter and bacon, I love anything that has peanut butter, OMG it was awesome! The Works is now also open in Oakville. You have to eat there and let me know what you think.  And the home made cut fries are so fresh and good. Ok come on, don't you want to try it? Enjoy and have fun! 

Dolled Up Cupcakes!

Located at Winston Churchill Blvd/Battleford, they have the best homemade cupcakes! My favorite is the Chocolate Cupcake with Coconut icing...it's so good! They have so many selections that it was a hard decision. They also make custom made cakes and cupcakes to your liking, such as Channel Logo Purse etc. Go ahead check it out!  The Chocolate Coconut Icing Cupcake It was delicious! 

Teriyaki Restaurant

I went for lunch at the Heartland location on Brittania/Mavis. I ate the Chicken Teriyaki with steamed rice and veggies, it was so good! Chicken Teriyaki Doesn't this look mouth watering?! 

Red Velvet Cake

The best Red Velvet Cake my sister and I had was served at Demetre's! It was not too sweet, very moist and a delicious cream icing! It was orgasmic, yes I said it and it was amazing. Demetre's Red Velvet Cake  The Second Cup Cafe also serves Red Velvet and it's pretty good. But Demetre's won this round for sure.  Second Cup's Red Velvet Cake 

Buffalo Wild Wings

Located on Winston Churchill near the 401. One of the best wings I had so far. It's juicy, bigger and delicious! You have to get sides with the wings, such as the onion rings, it's huge and so good! Or have the chilli fries instead,  yum! Then wash it down with a fruit smoothie. Forget the calories and just hit the gym the next day! Enjoy and have fun...

Perogies

I heard the best brand of perogies are made by Supreme Perogies! So I had to try it for myself. I bought them at Starkys but you can also get them at Loblaws or No Frills. I had my own recipe to cook the perogies, it had carmelized onions and bacon, of course you have to eat with sour cream. It's an amazing dish! So good! Give it a try...

Good "Breakfast" for a cheap price!

If you're ever passing through St.Catherine's...the breakfast menu at Hana's or Cosmo's was cheap and delicious! My favorite is their eggs benedict and on the healthier side the egg whites veggie omelette was good. Eggs Benedict yum! Tutti Fruitti on Brittania/Latimer was not bad, the wait for your food was long even though I only ordered the fruit platter! And it's pricey, like I said trial and error. Fruit Platter

Milestone Restaurant

The Milestone we went to is located on Mavis and Matheson. Not my first choice but the food was pretty good. Fish cakes or was it crab cakes and Bruchetta. Calamari their style, chicken wings and chocolate cake for dessert! I have to say my sister and I did enjoy it. 

The Elliott House Restaurant (Culinary School)

It's located north of Kennedy Rd and Matheson. This place is classy, romantic and the dinner menu is delicious! One of my top five places to eat. Salmon with rice, veggie marinated in a sauce that's just delicious and home made sauce. Roasted chicken with mash potatoes, veggies, sauteed mushrooms and gravy. It's mouth watering! Steak grilled to perfection, mashed potatoes, veggies and gravy to die for!  To end the meal with an amazing dessert,  chocolate mousse cake with raspberry sauce, fresh berries and caramel flan cake with fresh berries!  Wow what a night...

Pho Mi (Vietnamese) Food

I love Vietnamese food! It's healthy and delicious. My favorites are the vermicelli dish with grilled chicken/veggie and their soup dishes. Their avocado shakes are amazing! The locations I've visited are Battleford/Winston Churchill, Latimer Rd and Mavis/Bristol (Pho Fuzion). Chicken soup, grilled chicken with rice, egg and veggies. 

Mandarin Restaurant

Who doesn't like Mandarin!  Lunch buffet menu is different from their dinner menu. It doesn't matter because it's all delicious!  I've been to two locations, Hw10/Matheson in Mississauga and Biscayne/First Gulf Blvd in Brampton. In my opinion Brampton is a lot better.  So if you haven't tried it yet, give it a try and let me know what you think. Salad bar, soup and bread, sushi bar, pizza, roast beef and mash, dim sum, hot buffet area and dessert area. 

Panera Bread

Love Panera Bread!  Fresh baked bread and pastries daily.  Great place to meet for coffee or a place for students to do their work but not a quiet place (free wifi). I usually have their soup in a bread bowl or salad with panini.  Now they serve breakfast!  My location is the Heartland Center Mavis/Britannia and they just opened a new location near Erinmills Town Center Eglinton/Erinmills Pkway    Just order and they bring your food at your table!  You're given a buzzer number to let them know where you're seated, that's good service!  Enjoy...

Lunch Hour Rush

How about "Boston Pizza" for a fast lunch when you're on a time restriction?! They have variety of selections for a great price. Fish taco, small deluxe pizza, calamari and warm soft "Panookie" for dessert! It was amazing food and fast. 

Popeye's Grand Opening!

New location just opened today May 13th Heartland Centre, Mavis/Britannia My husband was craving for their spicy fried chicken today, huge line up but he said it was well worth it!  They also have seafood if you don't want chicken which they're famous for.  Don't feel like cooking?  Why not Popeye's tonight...

Turtle Jack's

Located at Hw10 and Courtneypark This location is modern and the other location on Winston Churchill and Battleford is more country.  Food was pretty good and variety of selections. Trial and error...let me know what you think?  Grilled Salmon with mango salsa, basmati rice and veggie.  Cajun chicken with avocado sauce, basmati rice and veggie.

Dim Sum (means Brunch)

My favorite Dim Sum location is Sam Woo (Mavis/Eglinton) it's clean, friendly staff and great food!  When we go it's never a disappointment. I love chicken feet with steamed rice, Harcow (shrimp), deep fried calamari (Asian style)  Steamed eggplant with garlic, amazing  And shrimp dumplings!  So good  There are more to order, good price and it's cheaper after 2:30pm Mon-Fri 

Oprah's Chai Tea

One of my favorite coffee places is Starbucks.  They're selling the Oprah's Chai Tea (it's new) and it's so good! Mixed blends of spices and it has that sweetness that just makes you smile! One of the best Chai Tea I've ever had.  It's a great gift to any occasions! It's amazingly delicious!  Give it a try...

Chococrepe Cafe

Chococrepe, it's one of my high school friend's (Oscar) cafe and reconnected with all of us thru Facebook.  Many of my Facebook friends attended the grand opening in April, sadly I couldn't make it but I will try it very soon.  They all raved about this place and the crepes apparently are amazing! Check it out... 620 Queen St West Toronto, Ontario M6J 1E4 Photos provided by Chococrepe's Facebook friends.  Thank you it looks delicious!  See you soon.
