Located on Eglinton, just east of Yonge is Fin Izakaya (@FinIzakaya). The restaurant occupies a large space with plenty of seating and they take reservations, which is a big plus.
Located on Queen Street, just west of Bathurst is Chococrepe (@chococrepeTO), a quaint and cozy creperie. The space has a really warm feel to it, furnished with cottage décor.
I had a craving for Korean food one evening and ended up at Korean Village Restaurant, located on Bloor between Bathurst and Christie. Just look for the bright yellow sign!
This was actually my third visit to Nota Bene (@NotaBeneToronto). The first time I came to Nota Bene was two years ago and the food blew me away. Having had such a great experience, I brought my mom here while she was in Toronto visiting last year. Unfortunately, the experience was a complete letdown. However, after hearing such great things about Nota Bene’s burger and seeing that it was on Dining Date Night (for 30% off the bill), I decided to give it another shot.
