"Flame seared sushi, also known as aburi sushi is Miku Toronto’s speciality. They provide an extensive menu with a variety of platters and meal kits, to create the sushi experience at home. Available for delivery via Uber Eats."

"Gallery Sushi is a casual spot in the heart of downtown for reasonably priced sushi. Specialty rolls are $7.95-$12.95 and include things like the crunch roll, black dragon roll and rainbow roll, but other options like the salmon lover’s roll and twist roll are great additions to the simple menu. Donburi, teriyaki and noodles are available at a great price as well as AYCE for $20.99, a cash-only, take-out special that offers two sushi rolls for $6.25 and a celebrated lunch special that ranges from $7.95-$11.95 (think 11 pieces of sushi or a chirashi bowl for $11.95)."
"During the winter months, it’s hard to beat a perfect bowl of authentic, Japanese ramen. Head to Sansotei Ramen for the real deal. With fresh ramen pork bone broth made every day, both thin and thick noodles, the extra toppings, and even Kaedama (noodle refill half-way through), you’ll get the real Japanese ramen experience right here in Toronto."

"Founded by a couple of canine-loving brew hounds and their black labrador mix, Snoopy, Black Lab Brewing keeps their brewery completely separate from the taproom so humans can enjoy a beer with their four-legged friends (while abiding Toronto's notoriously strict health and safety bylaws). Black Lab Brewing is a little brewery with big aspirations, striving to create a cozy community of beer lovers and bridge the gap between brewer and consumer. The brewery doesn't serve food at this time (those pesky bylaws again) but they do allow outside food to be brought in or delivered."
"The dog in Black Lab’s logo isn’t just cute branding: This east-end brewery rolls out the red carpet for furry patrons and hosts its share of doggie birthday parties and rescue fundraisers. If you are a biped with kidneys that can metabolize alcohol, good news: They also pour everything from an excellently toasty black lager to the aptly named Underdog Oat Pale Ale, which packs a surprising punch of bitter, piney hop flavour."
"What is it: Dog-crazed, beer-loving Torontonians finally have a place to indulge in both obsessions: Black Lab Brewing. While the production area is off limits for hounds, dogs are free to roam around the 3,600-square-foot taproom while their humans enjoy hazy APAs and imperial IPAs. Why go: With strict food safety laws prohibiting animals entry at most Toronto venues, we welcome Black Lab with open arms (and paws)."
"Save for the giant tanks, drinking at Shacklands feels like hanging in your fave neighbourhood dive bar: the walls are slathered in action figures, the stereo’s playing Matthew Sweet and old cartoons are on a loop on the TV. But instead of Labatt 50, the bar’s pouring a delightful jumble of sours, bretts and fruity blends, courtesy brewer Jason Tremblay."
"Don’t come to Shacklands looking for a lager or an IPA—you won’t find any. They pour only Belgian-style brews: farmhouse ales, saisons, tripels and dubbels. Everything here is downright funky."
"Distance from downtown: 53 minutes While not technically in Toronto, if you do find yourself chasing waterfalls in Hamilton, Collective Arts Brewing should be top of your list for refreshments. Founded on the principle that creativity brews great beer, this grassroots brewery fuses craft brewing with the aspiring talents of emerging artists and musicians. Each label is a unique work of art at Collective Arts, as is each beer."

"La Pecora is currently operating a takeout pasta pop-up out of Twist Gallery at 1100 Queen Street West. The menu changes daily, but always offers fresh, handmade Italian pastas, pizzas and other specials. Recent pasta creations have included pappardelle with oxtail ragu, meat and cheese lasagna, rigatoni in pork ragu and spaghetti with rapini pesto."
"Where: The St. Lawrence Market SouthWhen: Saturdays, 5 am to 3 pm, year-round. The site of Toronto’s oldest – and most iconic – market offers up fresh produce from local producers at the St. Lawrence Market’s Farmers’ Market starting bright and early each Saturday morning. Complementing the larger market across the street, the farmers’ market offers fresh food and conversation with food producers across southern Ontario."
"For eats and treats, St. Lawrence Market is a gastronomic haven. Spot butchers, fishmongers, bakers, farmers, and cheese purveyors assemble their prized goods for sale at Toronto’s oldest market. Still, the news gets better."
"Head to this Bloor West spot any time of the day for a delicious brunch. For savoury brunch-goers, try the spinach and feta omelet, or satisfy your sweet tooth with a strawberry/blueberry/Nutella crêpe combo or the banana/blueberry/apple pancake option.
