Roasted Marshmellow ice cream - It is listed in the 100 top eats to try in Toronto by Toronto Life and is a must try! While I find it slightly heavy by the time I've reached the bottom of my cup.. it is probably one of the more popular flavours and one that everyone is sure to like.. Who doesn't like roasted marshmellows right? Even if it isn't your favourite at least ask for a sample!
In any case, I've been going to this ice cream place in all the years that I have been going to high school and their selection of flavours is always interesting and fresh- flavours range from cinnamon or ginger to your simple sweet creams or chocolate.Their ice cream is made from all natural ingredients, and you can really taste it too. My personal favourite is mint "O", but I've only had it once and I've never seen it pop up on the display board since I tasted it some 4 years ago. Its a very minty version of their oreo ice cream which is equivalent to your cookies and cream but better because you get large chunks of oreo as opposed to crumbs.
Summer's just around the corner and the place is always packed when the weather gets HOT. They're also open pretty late! I just went the other day around 10 to get my ice cream fix.

Definitely one of my favourite sushi places. Although its doesn't have excellent lunch specials that students and discount hounds look for, it isn't over priced. Those few extra dollars that you spend are SO very worth it though. It has definitely served some of the freshest sushi I have had, one of my favourites was the negi hamchi maki which was served slightly warm but it just melts in your mouth when you have it. Although the restaurant is small and tight for seating, this intimacy actually adds to the experience, since one can watch the sushi master at work. One of the more interesting tools you will see him working with is the hand torch- ask for the Japango roll!
I've also had the omakase (tasting menu) and it was fantastic. It consisted of a five course dinner starting with a cherry blossom soup, a set of 4 appetizers (one of which is their oyster shooter), sashimi, salt water eel tempura (not unagi- thats fresh water), black cod with miso that is absolutely melt in your mouth and finally a 4 piece set of sushi made with fish you have probably never ordered.
I can definitely say it is my favourite sushi restaurant. Its generally really busy for dinner so I'd recommend a reservation, or you can also get take out! the staff are very nice and are as attentive as possible. Even though its such a small restaurant the tables are always filled. The sushi master is very friendly and just from overhearing conversations there are quite a few regulars who visit him often!

If you've got some extra pocket money and a friend to indulge with, this restaurant is a great place to have some tapas. The selection is definitely quite eclectic; the menu covers a nice selection of cured meats to some simpler dishes such as flat breads. For those who are new to tapas or just the items on the menu the staff are very friendly and helpful in providing suggestions of serving size and what dishes to order.
The atmosphere of the bar is calm yet romantic so it serves as a great hang out spot after shopping on west queen west or meeting up for a more intimate dinner date.
