These are the actual places I miss. They may not be your favourite, but they are mine! Shut up! It's been 18 months.
Toronto, ON, Canada

Hanmoto

Asian Restaurant · Trinity Bellwoods

Toronto, ON, Canada

Imanishi Japanese Kitchen

Japanese restaurant · Beaconsfield

Toronto, ON, Canada

Ed's Real Scoop

Ice cream shop · The Beach

When I feel really shitty, I go here, get an ice cream and then walk on the Boardwalk. It's quite lovely. They've got a few locations around the city but this one is the coolest because of the location.

Toronto, ON, Canada

Evergreen Brick Works

Park · Leaside-Bennington

Got married here. Highly recommend. Hikes and Saturday Farmer's Market are pretty great too.

Toronto, ON, Canada

Bandit Brewery

Brewpub · Old Toronto

It's just nice to be outside on their pretty patio drinking beer.

Toronto, ON, Canada

Superpoint

Italian restaurant · Trinity Bellwoods

Pizza and pasta. Food's pretty good but it's a vibe I enjoy.

Toronto, ON, Canada

Maker Pizza

Pizza restaurant · Kensington-Chinatown

Likely best take-home pizza in Toronto. Pretty expensive fwiw but I miss the food here.

Toronto, ON, Canada

Utopia Cafe & Grill

Restaurant · Palmerston–Little Italy

I just went here a lot growing up. Would eat a lot of burritos and nachos here. It's vegan too.

Toronto, ON, Canada

St. Lawrence Market (North Building)

Farmers Market · Waterfront Communities-The Island

I live nearby and we get a lot of our groceries here. It's quite scenic and the people are cool. Probably best access to fresh fish in the city.

Toronto, ON, Canada

Bar Isabel

Spanish restaurant · Trinity Bellwoods

One of my old favourite places to go with Jo before they took all the good items off the menu. Someday I hope they'll bring the fried chicken, squid, and ceviche dishes back. But alas.

Toronto, ON, Canada

Robinson Bread

Bakery · Old Toronto

Sourdough here is crazy. IMO best in Toronto.

Toronto, ON, Canada

Giulietta

Italian restaurant · Old Toronto

Everyone has their own Italian places but this is my favourite. It's pretty fancy but I really enjoy it.

Toronto, ON, Canada

Blackbird Baking Co

Bakery · South Riverdale

This is one of my favourite places to get sourdough. They started in Kensington market and have expanded a bunch in the past few years. I prefer this one because I usually run by it.

Toronto, ON, Canada

Seven Lives - Tacos y Mariscos

Mexican Restaurant · Kensington-Chinatown

This is another Kensington tacos place but the line is usually ridiculous and the prices are a lot higher than they should be. Nonetheless, everyone in Toronto loves it.

Toronto, ON, Canada

El Trompo

Mexican restaurant · Kensington-Chinatown

The first Mexican restaurant in Toronto apparently. Actual Mexican food not made by some bros or marketing firm with crazy flavours. It's also pretty cost-effective.
