I never expect chain restaurants to be good: Hippo felt to me like an upscale version of
Applebees or Ruby Tuesday when I walked in. However, I ended up pleasantly surprised. The
choices are still reminiscent of these chain restaurants, but everything is very high
quality. There are...

Most of the Italian restaurants that I've encountered in Paris either cater to the haute
cuisine crowd or are mostly pizza joints. This one, however, is neither: the pizza is
great, but the pastas and the antipasto bar are the stars. A special pasta is nearly
always on order, and...

Thoumieux is well known as a restaurant and hotel in the area, but what is better known
amongst the locals is the café around the corner, also sometimes referred to as "the
vodka bar." While they do order other things, vodka is the specialty here, which can be
seen from the...

From the outside, le Zinz looks like a grubby wine bar, with graffiti covering the doors
and mismatched furniture. The staff doesn't look like the typical wine bar staff: they're
more like the staff at your favorite dive bar. So it's always a pleasure and a slight
surprise when they...

Paris is home to a lot of bakeries and pastry shops, and many of these are simply
mediocre, especially around the tourist attractions. Many tourists don't know the
difference between a great bakery and a not-great one, and, unfortunately, as long as the
not-great ones are still...

We stayed at Avalon House, which is apparently one of the top hostels in Europe. There was
nothing particularly wrong with it: it was clean, it had a nice social space, the free
breakfast was really good (homemade strawberry jam... mmm!) the beds were comfortable and
there were a lot...

Take a ride on the London Eye to get the best view of the city. The Ferris Wheel cabins
that are similar to compartments on a gondola have glass walls so that you get a 360
degree view of the city and all it has to offer. I am usually scared of heights, and I
will concede that...

... or go in if you want to. But not after standing outside for a few moments to relish
the beauty that is this modern building and the modern fountain near it. The entire
piping of the building: gas, water and electricity, is color coded and threaded on the
outside of the building...

This tiny wine bar started out as just that: a pourhouse. Later, they installed a kitchen,
and while the place is still small and the kitchen resembles a Parisian home kitchen, but
the dishes they turn out are phenomenal and perfectly matched to the main attraction: the
wine. They...

You would never notice this tiny place unless someone pointed it out to you, but most of
the best places are like that. This tiny Vietnamese restaurant in Belleville, the Chinese
area in the outer limits of Paris, boasts some of the best pho I've ever tasted in my
life. Paris is...

Insomnia used to be a weird sort of Internet café that also served food. Now it's a
café/bar where people hang out late into the night, snacking on great food, listening to
the hottest DJs in the area, and serving themselves awesome drinks from the barstaff, who
get really creative...

This place recently opened up on my street, and while it took me awhile to get there
(every restaurant in the seventh is expensive), when I finally did, I was glad I
went. This is a small place with a rotating menu written on a chalkboard. Every choice
is heavenly, cooked to...

People in the cooking world tend to get a little bit too obsessed with newfangled ideas.
We’ve all seen it: a restaurant that serves foam on top of everything, another that
deconstructs every dish down to the point where you’re basically assembling your own
meal… sometimes a...

I hate most fast food: the one exception is pizza. Other than that, whenever people
suggest getting something to carry as we walk, I end up paying for higher-end sandwiches
and paninis or just getting a side of fries with ketchup in a styrofoam box because
takeout burgers, hot dogs...

Barney Greengrass is one of those New York Jewish staple places like Zabar's or Russ and
Daughters. Barney Greengrass has a huge smoked fish counter where you can get some of the
best smoked salmon and pickled herring in the city, but it also has an incredible
breakfast menu....

This café/brasserie which sits right next to the métro stop with which it shares a name
should not have food this good. After spending time in Paris, you start to be able to
tell which brasseries will be worth your time and which will not, and generally,
brasseries such as Mabillon...

This restaurant kind of confuses me: it's called the melting pot, but cheese fondue is
only offered as an appetizer! Maybe it's because I'm so used to living in France and
having Swiss-style fondue, but I didn't really know what to do with myself when the cheese
fondue was finished...

This homey restaurant serves several different items like soups, sandwiches and chilis, as
well as selling artisanal cheeses and pasta salads to go, but the whole reason to come
here is for soup and bread. There are lots of loaves to choose from and there is
usually a free sample:...

Labyrinth, just between to the Brunny and the Green Room, is in prime University of
Toronto student territory. It's opened most every night, but it's only the place to be on
Wednesday nights for one reason: martini night. The half-priced martinis at this bar
bring everyone running,...

This tiny converted house right off of Yonge would be a fun hangout even if it didn't have
24-hour service, but the fact that you can wander in at any time of day for a bite to eat
is part of what draws so many Torontonians here night after night. The food is good and
the drinks...
