7 West Cafe

Rated this place:

Hua Sang Seafood Restaurant

Rated this place:

41 Baldwin St, Toronto, ON, M5T1L1

Octapus Lounge

Rated this place:

293 Palmerston Ave, Toronto, ON, M6J2J3

Old school r&b hip hop: It’s a low-key lounge off College Street that not many people know about. Good vibe, great music, like Black Sheep and Tribe Called Quest.

Fusaro's Kitchen

Rated this place:

147 Spadina Ave #108, Toronto, ON, M5V2L7

Place for work meetings or lunch: It’s a nice Italian eatery, close to my office and the best in the neighborhood. My favourite is the Sicilian penne dish because I like spicy food.

Nami Japanese Seafood Restaurant

Rated this place:

55 Adelaide St E, Toronto, ON, M5C1K6

Japanese beer: Its taste is similar to Corona – it’s a light beer – enjoy it best in the summer. There’s nothing like having sushi on a patio and drinking Sapporo beer.

Bairrada Churrasqueira Grill

Rated this place:

1000 College St., Toronto, ON, M6H1A7

Bbq chicken: It’s got healthy portions and it’s best with piri-piri, a traditional Portuguese flavouring, that adds a spicy kick. There’s also an amazing patio, and not to mention every Wednesday night, they roast a suckling pig and give free samples. True story.
