3280 Midland Ave Unit 27 and 28, Scarborough, ON M1V 4W9 When you hear about a restaurant twice in one week from two different people, you can’t help but think to yourself that it must be good. Pho Anh Vu was such a restaurant. They

El Sazón de la Tía Flor

1549 O’Connor Dr, Toronto, ON M4B 2V7 Strange to say, but I don’t have a favourite Mexican restaurant in the Greater Toronto Area. I used to like the one that was in Unionville (I can’t remember the name of it), but it closed so I 

Diana’s Oyster Bar and Grill

Diana’s Oyster Bar and Grill

2105 Lawrence Ave E, Scarborough, ON M1R 2Z4 Raw oysters…you probably either perked up at the mention of that or cringed. I never knew what the fuss was about with raw oysters. I had some in the past and they were ok, but it wasn’t

866 Wilson Ave, North York, ON M3K 1E5 For a few years in the past, I was introduced to several different Turkish restaurants, courtesy of an ex who was from Turkey. A Turkish restaurant that always stood out to me is Mustafa Restaurant. They serve 

HO Sushi Express

HO Sushi Express

28 Lee Centre Dr, Scarborough, ON M1H 3J1 It is not difficult to find a Japanese restaurant in the Greater Toronto Area nowadays, but finding one with fresh, good-quality sushi is a little more difficult. For dine-in restaurants, I have a few favourites, but sometimes 

Blackhorn Steakhouse

Blackhorn Steakhouse

251 Ellesmere Rd, Scarborough, ON M1R 4E4 It was a milestone birthday for my dad this year. I originally wanted to throw him a party or BBQ to celebrate it, but since several family members wouldn’t have been able to make it, my husband and
