Re: Fave Ethiopian Food at Queen of Sheba

you should try the vegetarian plate at nazareth. it's $8 and feeds two people! they unfortunately don't do my favourite part of the dish though, the curried cabbage and carrots.

movie theatre

Fave it!

Carlton Cinemas (CO)
20 Carlton St., Toronto

I've seen some great movies here. I think that it's the perfect size for watching a documentary or foreign film. It has the feel of an independent cinema, and they play small and large-release films. The theatres spaces are small and intimate.

Latin American Emporium (243 Augusta)

I've been eating there for a few years. Although it's a bit of a wait to get served, has little eating space, and gets chilly in the winter, it's still my favourite. Although you can get the same foods at two or three other stores on the block, I find these taste the best. While I wait, I love browsing the unfamiliar ingredients on the shelves...

Bitondo Pizzeria
11 Clinton, Toronto

It contains so much cheese that you feel like you're going to choke with every bite. The place has pasta e fagioli on the menu. To me it feels like I imagine Little Italy did when it was still Italian.

Massimo Pizza & Pasta
302 College, Toronto

It's simple and delicious. Extra greasy and extra thin, the Margherita is my slice of choice. Before the restaurant makeover, it had oldschool "Italian" charm with newspaper articles framed on the wall (I never figured out why Susan Aglukark was so prominently featured) and checkered plastic tablecloths. I haven't been in since they got their new look, but if the pizza tastes the same, I'll definitely go back.

fine dining - Japanese

Fave it!

Kaiseki Sakura
556 Church St, Toronto

They use high-quality ingredients, and they present the dishes artistically. Their 5 course vegetarian tasting menu was incredible. Panko shrimp with yuzu foam, whole wasabi root, adzuki-green tea cheesecake and too many other delicious ingredients and garnishes to mention. A great place for a special occasion.

Japanese Restaurant not serving Sushi

Fave it!

Okonomi House
23 Charles W, Toronto

Okonomiyaki are an underappreciated, simple Japanese dish. This restaurant has the look and feel of a small family restaurant or bar in Japan. The okonomiyaki are delicious and can be made vegetarian, the green tea is delicious and cheap. A great place to go before a matinee at the varsity or cumberland.

Pho

Pho Hung Vietnamese Restaurant
350 Spadina, Toronto

Their soups are huge, their fried veggie spring rolls taste like chicken wings, and they have frog and knuckle on the menu.

bar

Embassy
223 Augusta Ave, Toronto

I've had some great conversations there, listened to deejays and live acts there, watched world cup soccer there, met a ton of strangers there, and they have modest but delicious selection of food and drink.

Although I don't know if it's still open, I had several wonderful vegetarian brunches there over the summer. It's decorated in light colours, has a serve-yourself coffee bar and does a great scrambled tofu.

Utopia Cafe & Grill
586 College, Toronto

I haven't been disappointed with any of their vegetarian sandwiches. They do a great veggie chicken club, substituting the bacon for grilled eggplant. Their veggie souvlaki and veggie burger are hard to beat, and portions are huge.
