Smashing good brunch?…read more Smash Kitchen has been on our list to visit for a while till we finally had the opportunity. For more than a dozen years, this Markham spot has been known for good flavors and portions. The weekend brunch menu from 10am - 2:45pm had an assortment of creative dishes. We opted for their LA mac & cheese ($25) with a saucy cheese blend textured by herb crumbles. The soft shell crab benedict ($24) looked irresistible with two nicely poached eggs beside crab drizzled with maple buffalo hot sauce. While it came with no sides, bites of the whole fried soft shell crab on brioche toast were scrumptious. The inside of this restaurant is cavernous, featuring even a private room and patio. It's much larger than the dated plaza entrance would indicate. Staff were generally active at the tables, even delivering colour sheets to young ones. Skip it or hit it? It was a long time coming but brunch here didn't disappoint. Hit it!

Such great burgers!…read more You know when you crave a good freshly made burger? This place can definitely provide you with one! They have a pretty good online ordering system where you can place an order online and pick up in the restaurant. The staff are friendly and the service is quick. Everything seems to be made to order so you get pretty fresh food. It's an independently owned restaurant, so whenever I have the chance to support a local business, I love to come here. Overall, it's a great place to try out if you love homemade burgers. They also offer a cash discount.

Public Gardens was one of the highlights of my trip to Toronto…read more The vibe is incredible--beautiful space, great energy, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay for another round. The staff was genuinely warm, attentive, and made the entire experience feel special from start to finish. The food absolutely lived up to the ambiance. The chicken parm was outstanding, and the ricotta with wild honey is a must-order. Don't leave without trying the mushroom fettuccine either--it was phenomenal. If you're celebrating a birthday, anniversary, date night, or any special occasion, I highly recommend Public Gardens. It's the kind of place that creates memorable experiences, and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Toronto.

Public caesar 4/5 - Loved this before and it's still great a year later! Well dressed and tasty. Fried calamari 3.5/5 - It's good but nothing special. Came with marinara sauce - good for sharing. Pepperoni pizza 5/5 - My favourite on their menu here for sure. Ask for a side of hot honey! Ciao bella rigatoni 3.5/5 - Looks better than it tastes. It's okay. It's cherry tomato, basil, parm, garlic. Your standard vodka pasta. Sausage sugo bianco 2.5/5 - My least favourite item from Public Gardens. It's kind of bland and just okay in taste. Overall, great vibes, standard bar food but still has a hold in my heart for some reason!

Stopped by for brunch at Next Door, located in the heart of Main St. Unionville. The restaurant is…read moreunique in a sense where it's situated in the historical Unionville Planing Mill. Was seated in their dinning hall ( the other side is more of a bar) and ordered a brunch tower for two. The tower includes their signature malaysian scrambled eggs, chorizo sausage, bacon, Brussel sprouts, toast with buttermilk pancakes stacked at top of the tower. The tower was beautifully presented and what I love most about the tower is their pancakes. Truly fluffy and light with whipped cream on top of it. Overall, service was efficient and attentive, often checked on and refilling water. On top of that, the restaurant has great decor and parking is provided in the back of the restaurant. Its considered on a slightly higher end for brunch ($20-30 range), but it was truly an amazing experience. They also have daily promos so worth checking out for dinner and late night deals.

With a small patio at the front, Poor Romeo is a haven for those who love direct sunlight. Maybe it…read morewas how the sun was hitting the restaurant on our July visit, but even with all the umbrellas up there wasn't an ounce of shade. Not wanting to roast, we safely seconded ourselves inside. Here I was greeted with a chill bar environment with tables so crammed together that it'd be a Tetris feat to get yourself into a chair if someone was sitting behind you. Luckily, it wasn't busy on a Friday afternoon, so I jimmied myself into a highchair and settled down with a Gin Lizzy ($15). It's a good first drink since it essentially tastes like a sparkling berry lemonade. The rhubarb reduction and lime make it go down so easy that you must remind yourself it's not juice given it contains gin and prosecco. Personally, even with a refreshing cocktail, I like them tasting stiffer. The El Diablo ($15) hit the spot as the tequila was pronounced but mellowed with black berry concentrate and lime. The ginger beer helped to add a twinge of spiciness and bubbles. This was a favourite amongst our table. A couple of nibbles tied us over until dinner. The queso & chips ($12) arrived with plenty of warm crispy tortillas that were seasoned making them nice to munch on solo or with a sprinkling of finely diced pico de gallo. The queso was a great consistency coating the chip without being too thick and was perfectly seasoned so that it was flavourful without being overly salty. The wild zero wings ($16 for a lb) were hot and juicy, tossed in an apricot glaze that gave the wings a sweet and savoury element, sort of like a Thai sauce but not quite as syrupy. And if they weren't saucy enough, a generous portion of creamy dill arrives as well. Poor Romeo is a great place for a quick drink with nibbles or a casual date. And if you're in the area for an after-meal tipple, their version of an espresso martini is the Night Flight ($16). It certainly tasted of coffee, from a coffee reduction and Jägermeister cold brew, but mellowed out with vodka and a bit of creaminess from the Tia Maria.
