According to my son, quite the young foodie, the burger at the Harbord Room narrowly beats the one at the Drake, and The Healthy Butcher are the best to grill at home...we'll be adding to this list as burgers are sampled around the city...only local, sustainable burgers need apply! Bonus points when the ketchup is not filled with modified ingredients...you know who we are looking at!

LIVE TO EAT on Eglinton!: What a pleasure it is to shop on Eglinton West at the Healthy Butcher. Even though their store name implies meat, they are my stop gap measure in between farmer's markets for local and organic fruits and veggies, fish, cheese, bread and eggs. In a very small store (compared to a grocery store), you can buy everything from safe cookware, spices, organic condiments + flours, delicious artisinal cheese and crackers (monforte sheep's cheddar and evelyn's crackers...yum!), the best popcorn (passion popcorn from Ontario) and lots of nut-free and organic products (if you haven't already tried Mapleton's Organic Cappuccino Ice Cream, you must!). The staff are absolutely wonderful and very accommodating for any special requests. Even though there is no "easy" parking, it's easy in and easy out (they will carry their groceries to your car)...and open 7 days per week. 2 other locations also...it's worth the drive.

The Drake Hotel

great menu, great spaces: We consistently enjoy delicious brunches and dinners at the Drake. Friendly, aware and attentive service is the norm. If you enjoy burgers, this is the best one in town. If you want a comfortable spot for a romantic date, a large table for a family gathering or a private space for a private party, this is the spot in Toronto. They have it all, including a rooftop patio for all seasons. ECO-ASPECT - The menus are built from organic, "local and seasonal ingredients and inspired by Anthony Rose." Now only if they would serve organic beer!

Hurry to Harbord: It's so important for us to be connected to our food, and thanks to The Harbord Room and those brilliant foodies behind the restaurant, as we order, we are privy to knowing where everything comes from. The servers are very well informed and understatedly enthusiastic (in a good way) about the menu. Each appetizer sounded delicious, the cold tomato soup (read: gazpacho) was simple yet outstanding. The presentation of each dish was great, and it was all smiles as the dishes were served. Around our table was, "best burger ever", "wow", "yum", "try this", the marniated honey mushrooms just as garnish were fantastic. The prices are very reasonable for what you are being served. The wine list included some good local labels, and it would have been nice if any of their cocktails had the same commitment to local, organic or fresh flavours! Please DO NOT pass on dessert, especially if they have Churros on the menu. Request the booth by the window, or get there early during patio season to grab a seat, eat, drink and savour.
