Southern Indian veggie cuisine

Saravanaa Bhavan
1571 Sandhurst Circle, Unit 153, Toronto

Having grown up in Chennai, India (home of the original Saravanaa Bhavan), I've been to several SB branches over the years. Still, I find it impossible to tell the difference between the food at the Canadian branches and that of the ones back home - it's as authentic as it can be. Don't leave without trying masaala dosa, idly and saambhar vada. If you're feeling adventurous try 'South Indian Thaali', which is a combination of around 20 different kinds of food in one plate.

comedy club

Yuk Yuk's
Multiple Locations

By far the most 'proactive' comedy club chain in Canada, showcasing the best talent from across the country. There's always something new going on, whether it's the Great Canadian Laugh-off contest or Club specials. Makes for a real fun evening.

Live Music Venue

Cameron House
408 Queen W, Toronto

This "long-standing bastion of art and culture at Queen Street West" has some talented indie bands playing almost every evening; genres range from classic jazz to old-time country, from swing to celtic mariachi. The art-music-theatre-bar's unique and independent soul is evident through beautiful murals both on the walls and the ceiling. I hear October's got a decent line up of new bands. I'm definitely going back.

Thai Food

Green Onion Pan Asian cuisine
112 Dundas Street West, Toronto

I rate the food 3.5/5 (compared to other Thai restaurants llike East, Salad King, etc. which I think are slightly better), but the most amazing thing about Green Onion is the service. I had dinner here tonight (busy) with six other people, and our soup, appetizers and entrees all arrived in under 10 minutes. If you're in the area and need to have a quick meal, this joint might be a good choice.

Indian chaat

Bombay Bhel
Multiple Locations

Authentic Indian chaat. Best I've had in Toronto. The 'Sev Puri' is particularly good. Bombay Bhel's also got a decent regular Indian menu, and their portions are astoundingly large. I ordered 'Achaari Kabab' with fries (delicious), and it was a meal fit for an ogre.

Persian Restaurant

Banu - Iranian kabob vodka bar
777 Queen Street W, Toronto

Very classy restaurant/bar/lounge. Koobideh Loghmegh (grilled, ground, gnashed, minced sirloin kabob wrapped in flat lavash bread!) and Doogh (carbonated yoghurt drink) stand out.

Mediterranean restaurant

Politica Resto Bar

Nice, swanky restaurant in a quiet neighbourhood. A bit pricey, but worth it all the same. My favourites are the Crsipy Cornmeal Crusted Calamari and the grilled Atlantic Salmon (melts in your mouth). And of course, the Genoa Ricotta is the best pizza I've had in a long time.

Belgian Waffle

360 The Restaurant at the CN Tower
301 Front St. W. (CN Tower), Toronto

It's huge and soft, as are most other desserts at this restaurant.
