I Ate A Thing Did an ice cream crawl with my husband today

Spent the day walking across the city and tasting ice creams! Obviously our rankings aren't totally fair, since we got different flavours at every place, but here's our overall thoughts:

1 moon milk (guava cheesecake) - super interesting flavour, it wasn't even on our hit list but we just happened to stop in on our route. Will definitely go back for a pint

2 earl Grey SS (roselle) - obviously good, everything roselle does is good

3 Vietnamese coffee (ruru baked) - delicious, my favourite texture of everything we ate. I'm the most likely to go back here in the future due to location (also they give real spoons instead of wooden sticks!)

4 burnt honey ss (soma) - very strong honey flavour, I really liked it, but would have preferred on a cone without these awful cardboard spoons. Super generous portion too

5 blueberry lemon curd (scooped by demetres) - another really strong flavour, only ranked a bit lower because it was super firm. I'd crush a pint of this at home for sure, loved how lemon forward it was.

6 apricot thyme sorbet (good behaviour) - very interesting, not totally sure it worked, but i appreciate something unique. We originally ordered the pistachio baklava but it was super crumbly and honestly really gross, the staff kindly gave us a scoop of something else. Ill give GB another chance since I go there for sandwiches all the time, but a bit of a bummer considering how hyped up it was

7 blueberry sorbet (venerosa gelato) - not good. Super gummy texture, we actually tossed this one out. Not sure why we got a sorbet at a gelato place to be fair.

Sad we couldn't include other hits like bar ape and nanis, but we could only commit to so much walking around

I Ate A Thing Liberty Pizza Sausage & Pep

A friend sent me this place via a social media reel so I decided to give them a shot.

As a New Yorker in Toronto, I generally stay away from pizza places, I’m generally disappointed because I have specific preferences that aren’t met by the usual Toronto-style pizza joints.

I’ve finally found a place that I can add to the list that currently includes only North of Brooklyn. There’s a markedly NY impression in this pizza.

Both resemble the new-age style of NY-style pizza, made in the electric ovens, crispy undercarriage, a medium amount of char, and the characteristic that stands out the most: the drastic textural change between undercarriage and crust

At this point, I’ve resigned myself to not being able to find a place that will replicate the NYC style pizza slice that first became popular outside of NYC: the Baker’s pride gas oven, the drier dough, the almost orange color of the reheated pizzeria slice. This isn’t a bad consolation prize though.

Best lanzhou hand pulled noodles?

3 Upvotes

Hi all. I'll be visiting Toronto this coming weekend and will be staying in downtown. It looks like there are several hand pulled noodles joints in town, and I'm wondering which one is best for Lanzhou styled hand pulled noodles? The only restaurant labeled as "Lanzhou" is Gol's, but it looks like they're a ways out of downtown.

Recommendation Request Overpriced restaurants in Toronto?

35 Upvotes

What are some overpriced Toronto restaurants? I understand the concept of labour cost, rent, food cost, it’s a low margin industry. But I’ve heard there are a few restaurants that have questionable pricing, let’s hear it.

Not the best tacos but that self service hot sauce and salsa bar makes it a 8/10

Recommendation Request Anniversary recommendations

2 Upvotes

My husband and I are celebrating our second wedding anniversary and Tuesday and looking for dinner suggestions. We want a place that’s within 50-60$ per person. We are not big drinkers and like restaurants like Riki tikki, earls, cactus club, chula, amel, the Haam etc. these are just some examples. Open to middle eastern, Italian, American, Mexican, and/or interesting fusion Japanese or Korean. Anywhere in the east or west end, but not as far as junction. We’re looking for a nice vibe, maybe a patio and good food.

Anyone tried Enigma's lunch tasting menu?

Thinking of trying out the lunch tasting menu next month but haven't really seen much about it in terms of reviews.

Would appreciate some insight from anyone who's dined there, especially for the tasting menus (particularly at lunch). TIA!

Sambal! Go there!

32 Upvotes

No pictures that are worth sharing unfortunately but just had a great dinner at the new Indonesian spot in the east end - Sambal.

We tried Nasi Goreng, Balkmi Ayam and the Sambal Flight - everything just tasted so good. And the service was really sweet, they are so hospitable.

Strong recommend.

I Ate A Thing Mixed grill platter for 4 from Mangal Kebab House in Scarborough

Post image
57 Upvotes

My family introduced me to this place earlier this year, I loved it and we returned the other night with a couple extra hungry mouths to get this insane platter for 4. The food here is incredibly good, everything is seasond and grilled to perfection. 4 of us could barely finish this and someone took home leftovers for a decent lunch. This platter is $155 and there's a smaller one for 2 for $80, a little pricy but the portions and quality are on point. My favorite spot I've been put on to this year

kue lapis beras in Toronto?

3 Upvotes

I had this dessert in the Netherlands. It is an Indonesian dessert that is a colorful layer cake. My searching says it came to Indonesian during Dutch colonial times. I have searched and looked at menus but can't find it.

Has anyone ever heard of there or knows a spot where it is ?

Recommendation Request Where are we eating tonight?

9 Upvotes

In town for yesterday’s MCR concert and fly out tomorrow at 6am. What to know:

  1. We are staying in? On? West Queen West.

  2. I am 40 and feel like I was run over by a truck from the show last night, so ideally around here but we can also take public transit.

  3. No dietary restrictions!

  4. No new-American or Latin American. We aren’t from Toronto and have access to all that back home.

  5. Especially looking for incredible holes in the wall, and food from different countries that Toronto does great!

So far everyone in this city is the nicest. Thanks yall!

My husband and I had an extended detour in Toronto after our trip to Greece was delayed by the Air Canada strike. What an absolutely amazing city with amazing food! We got these delicious and beautiful pastries from the Delysées in the Yorkdale mall. They were just as good as the many pastries I've tried in France over the years!

I Ate A Thing First experience at Cops doughnuts

Post image
485 Upvotes

I first heard of Cops about three yrs ago, but never got around to trying them until today. There are three locations in Toronto, I went to the one on Adelaide West. For those unaware, they serve mini-doughnuts in three flavours: OG Glaze (sour cream + sweetened milk), Cinnamon Sugar, and a rotating weekly feature. This wk (Aug 18-24), it's Blueberry Cobbler. I ordered the Trio box, which has six of each flavour. The doughnuts were warm and soft; very delicious! Hopefully I can go back when they do a matcha glaze, I already missed it twice.
