We're all different on the Narcity team.
Hanmoto // 2 Lakeview Ave
"Hanmoto is a super small and cozy spot with the most delicious Japanese izakaya I've ever had. As a Montrealer, I am a BIG fan of Kazu, in Downtown Montreal, but Hanmoto puts it to shame; this is definitely my new go-to Japanese spot. Try the salmon aburi! " - Laurie (Content Manager, Narcity Media)
Nimman Thai Cuisine // 2451 Lake Shore Blvd W
"This place has easily the best Thai food I've ever had, and my go-to comfort food. I'm a huge fan of their shrimp pad thai and hot and sour soup! They are also located right by the lake, which makes for a pretty nice view as well." -Sara (Videographer, Narcity Toronto)
DaiLo // 503 College St
"DaiLo has amazing food that is innovative, reasonably priced and, of course, delicious. Asian-fusion executed superbly. Think French brassarie meets dim-sum." - Eul (Head Writer, Narcity Toronto)
Insomnia //563 Bloor St W
"I am a big fan of Southern comfort food and Insomnia always hits the spot for me. Their chicken and waffles are in a league of their own and they have a stellar cocktail selection. They are also located right in the middle of the trendy Annex and have a bustling, urban vibe inside to match its outside." -Brooklyn (Contributor, Narcity Toronto)

Tabule // Multiple Locations
"I'm a big fan of Tabule, it's got awesome middle eastern food. The falafels are literally bomb and I'm pretty sure their hummus is what dreams are made of. I usually do take out/delivery but the ambience inside seems really nice! They have two locations too, one a Yonge and Davisville and then one on Queen St. West" - Kate(Contributor, Narcity Toronto)
Emma's Country Kitchen // 810 St. Claire W
"Emma's Country Kitchen has the best brunch menu in Toronto!!! Sooooo good. Plus they have baked goods and frozen food so even if you can't get a table you won't walk out empty handed." -Brittany (Content Manager, Narcity Prairies)
Los Colibris // 220 King St W
"As Mexican cuisine is one of my favourites, Los Colibris is a top choice for me in Toronto! It's super chic and has a very welcoming atmosphere. Their ceviches are absolutely delicious, their tequila list is extensive, and they offer A+ friendly service." - Nicole (Writer, Narcity Toronto)
Riverdale Perk // 633 Logan Ave
"This cafe is the East End’s hidden gem! It has a charming neighbourhood feel and their sandwiches are some of the best in the city." - Charlotte (Contributor, Narcity Toronto)
Buca // Multiple Locations
"It's so hard to pick just one favourite restaurant, but Buca makes it a little bit easier. Amazing Italian cuisine with a sophisticated and chic vibe. Perfect for a special occasion like a date or a birthday celebration. Try their tasting menu if you really want to ball out!" - Maria (Content Manager, Narcity Toronto)
Chako // 2190 McNicoll Ave
"I really like Chako, an all-you-can-eat KBBQ spot in Scarborough. The dining area is sleek and modern, and they have a variety of meats you can cook over the grill, although grilled pineapple is probably one of my favourite options - so deliciously sweet! Go for the late night menu to get the most bang for your buck". - Christina (Intern, Narcity Toronto)
