Touring Toronto Best of IgoUgo

Overview

Quote:
In the summer time there is always a Jazz festival happening on the waterfront in Toronto as well as a film festival in the latter part of summer. Make sure to get there early to park and enjoy a fabulous dinner before. As Toronto is a multicultural city which celebrates its ethnicity, you will find Chinatowns, Little Italy, Greektowns, Koreatowns, etc. which will serve the best international foods you've probably tasted in North America. It is also a very safe & clean city so you can feel free to wander around, or catch a show (some of the theatre productions I've seen there include: Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Miss Saigon - all excellent and at exceptional prices considering a U.S. dollar ...Read More

Gratze Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant

Quote:
Absolutely the best Italian pasta you'll taste. Decor is rustic tuscan and there's always great music and ambience. The pasta noodles are made in-house and each entre is made a la minute...meaning they do not premake sauces in a pot but make each order separately from scratch. The Udine pasta with goat cheese is heavenly as are all their pastas. Although reservations are not necessary there are usually line-ups so it's better to make one and be on time.

Lemongrass Cookbook Store The Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "Lemon Grass"

Quote:
This place makes the best pad thai I've ever tasted. Their fresh Vietnamese rolls with poached shrimp is also mouth-watering as appetizer. The ambience is elegantly modern with dark walnut woods contrasting with the frosted glass decor. Also try the green curry which is both creamy, sweet & spicy. They also have a sister restaurant on Yonge St. and Eglinton named Green Mango. It's the same menu but the decor is much more casual.

Restaurant | "Mars"

Quote:
This is the place to go for a great weekend brunch. It is a comfy, 50's feel place where orange juice is freshly squeezed, the coffee excellent and the brunch menu to fit your appetite. The Eggs Benedict is awesome here as are all their brunch selections. You won't leave hungry.

Gam Tong House Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant

Quote:
The space is small and usually crowded but it's the food that keeps'em coming back for more. Very authentic korean food. Every item on the menu is good but I recommend for those who love spicy seafood - jam pong. They make all their korean noodles in-house and the jam pong (a noodle soup in a spicy seafood broth) is a real winner. The ja jang mein is also good (noodles tossed in black bean sauce korean style) as are the kal bee (short ribs marinated in soy garlic sauce and grilled), if you like tofu the soon du bu chig gay is wonderful(spicey tofu soup) but you can't go wrong ordering anything here.

Lee's Garden Restaurant Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "Lee Garden"

Quote:
If you love fresh seafood and authentic Chinese food this is the place to go. The decor is very casual but the food is the main attraction. Excellent seafood - the steamed grouper in black bean sauce is amazing as is the mango chicken dish which is only offered in the summertime. All of their food is really first rate but be prepared for long lines and parking hassles if driving to Chinatown to eat here.
