    I did not expect the pork belly medianoche to be so thick! Pineapple salsa is a delicious edition. I arrived around 11 & my food was delivered after a quick run to the restroom. It was hot, as preferred. Drinks are strong & tasty. Last call was around 1125p.

    Rip off meal. Service didn't check in on us. Expensive food overall. Like $80 for a sandwich and a main and two drinks. TERRRRIBLE value.

    Pulled Pork sandwich

    We are Karina from Miami and we're staving, nothing else in the area seemed appealing to us at 9pm so we went with what we thought we knew.. Bean soup, super yummy and typical, pulled port sandwich (not Cuban) but delicious, pork belly plate, super fatty but oh so satisfying with a kind of Moro style rice and beans, but the croquettes.. the Ham and cheese croquettes.. I have no clue where they have tried croquetas from but hear we're not it lol! They tasted like papa rellena (stuffed potato balls). I am croquettes feen and I do not recommend these. But it was a decent spot for a late night bite!

    Headed to Ossington this weekend and found this delightful spot! The ambience was super fun with pastel diner vibes. The achiote roasted chicken was really good with delicious fried plantains. The coleslaw on the side was seasoned very well and wasn't overloaded with dressing which I enjoyed. The guava bbq beef short rib was the allstar! Extremely tender beef with a delicious sauce on top. A must-try for sure! The coffee with leches was okay but more on the bitter side. I wish the cup was larger, it looked closer to a 6oz. The avocado salad was extremely disappointing as it was overly vinegary and the avocado was overripe to the point of being black. Don't recommend. Overall, I enjoyed my experience but would not order the coffee or salad again.

    This was a great spot to catch up with some friends on a Monday night. They have plenty of appetizers, sandwiches & mains. We ordered the cuban burger, guava short rib, pressed cubano & conch fritters. Our favourite was the pressed cubano! The interior was very diner like which we loved. Overall great vibes & a good spot on Ossington as most places are closed in Mondays apparently. The service was good as our waitress was very friendly.

    Absolutely in love with the interior of La Cubana. It's cozy and local while both modern and retro. The space is clean and bright but has a nostalgic, classic feel. There are so many intentional details that went into the interior that makes the atmosphere so special!! And along with the space, the food is GOOD and very affordable. We came for dinner on a Saturday and sat at the bar. The service was great, so great that the food actually came out before our drinks! The achiote chicken platter was a perfectly balanced meal. The chicken was flavorful, and the star of the show was absolutely the slaw - so delicious! The mojitos we got too were strong and refreshing. They have a bar in the back too, which is a cool addition. Great Toronto spot for sure.

    Sitting in a very popular street, La Cubana has a nicely tucked away speakeasy at the back of the restaurant. The front of the restaurant is nicely designed with lots of Spanish blue tiling and the menu popping out in white and red. I came by this place on Saturday around dinner time and the speakeasy was nice and quiet with a few customers enjoying their signature cocktails. The staff greeted us and guided us to the speakeasy. Inside the space there were about 5-6 tables, with a greenery garden ceiling and plants sitting in different corners of the space. The bar itself was stunning with a number of options and nicely lit to show off the display. The cocktail menu had a nice variety of signature drinks. I tried La Playa which had jalapeno infused tequila and mixed with some other liquor to make it look blue-ish green. The drink was presented very elegantly and beautifully and it tasted very nice as well. Ossington has a number of different gems but I'm a big sucker for speakeasies in the city.

    We were really impressed with this Toronto spot! We got there right around lunch rush on a Saturday, so we did have to wait a bit to get a table, but it wasn't bad. Once seated, our server gave us drink & food menus. I ordered the margarita and a few people ordered the beer. For food I ordered their burger and it was delish! The interior has a great vibe with fun diner decor and a beautiful bar top area.

    We went to five star restaurants, sandwich shops, and everything in between on our Toronto trip, but this had to be my absolute favorite meal!! It was absolutely adorable and the food was amazing! I got the chicken and it was perfectly moist and oh so perfectly seasoned! I didn't know just how much I was missing out not eating Cuban food with cabbage, but now that I've done it I'm never going back!

    Tostones 2,7/10. Creo que son congelados. No sabían frescos y estaban overcooked en el medio. No estaban ni crocantes. El suero de cilantro estaba rico, la textura estaba muy buena. Yuca frita 5/10. El color dorado era muy apetecible. No estaban muy sazonadas. La textura no estuvo muy rica. Pero las volvería a pedir. La salsa de ajo sabía demasiado a ajo y la textura no era muy buena. Shortrib Medianoche 7,4/10. El pan estaba muy suave y rico. A mi me pareció que el col le daba un muy buen sabor. La carne le faltó sazón. Personalmente no sentí la salsa bbq lo suficiente. Pressed cubano 8,8/10. Demasiado bueno, el pan estaba perfectamente dorado y crujiente. El jamón tenía buen sabor y el queso igual. Lo recomendaría siempre. Servicio 8/10. Le pedimos recomendaciones y fueron buenas. Todo tuvo buen tiempo de espera. Cuando nos íbamos llegaron bastantes clientes y se vio un poco desorientado. Overall 8/10. Volvería a ir para probar el resto de platos.

    Short rib medianoche

    The guava BBQ beef short rib sandwich has been hyped up to me for years now and I finally got to try it - it did not disappoint. The beef was tender and flavourful, the sandwich running with juices, and that guava BBQ sauce hitting all the right notes. The drinks were great too, the mojito was simple and classic and La Havana was super flavourful with their apricot brandy. Overall a cute spot with a real Cuban retro feeling interior, and I can't wait to come back!

    Cute little place. Really enjoyed the ambiance of the place. However, none of us were too thrilled about our food though. The sandwich was a little dry and required plenty of sauce to eat. Our favorite part of the meal was the conch fritters. Those were delicious.

    At night on a rainy Friday we had to wait around 30 min for a table for 6 without a reservation. It's a super small space with a restaurant area up front and bar in the back. I wouldn't recommend coming with a big group. We tried the short ribs, pork shoulder and pork belly main dishes. All were good but I liked the pork over the short ribs. 1 is definitely enough per person. We also got their donuts for dessert but I didn't find them good - tasted like an old fashioned timbit.

So the bear itself in the affogato was a solid icy chunk of milk (coz we chose the milk flavour) that just frozen. We added the affogato on top of it and while it looked aesthetic, the dessert didn't make sense at all. We were unable to break the frozen chunk or be able to mix it with the coffee and the coffee mixed with that frozen chunk submerged tasted really bad. Paying $16 for that wasn't worth it at all. The bingsu was good though. We got the mango bingsu bowl and it came loaded with mangoes and a marshmallow and an oreo cookie to make it look pretty! I don't think I'd come back to try anything else here. Was a little disappointed.

    One of the only places to get Late-Night dessert! Holy Choco stays open till 4 AM which means you…read morecan satisfy your sweet tooth at (almost) any hour of the day Their menu is HUGE and unfortunately has some steep pricing, but the food quality is excellent. Delicious desserts, waffles ice cream, smoothies, and more. We ordered: Medium Mango Smoothie - $7.95 Simple Pleasures Waffle - $15.50 The waffle was light and fluffy and the toppings of fruit and chocolate were a great combination. I requested to be lighter on the chocolate but there was still a LOT of chocolate on our waffle. The mango smoothie was refreshing and sweet. I started going to Holy Choco when they first opened and their service was really good from some of the owner. Super attentive and caring staff. Unfortunately, it's since gone downhill since they've hired new staff and we had a number of small problems when visiting this time (dirty tables, dirty cutlery, requested if our food could be put in to go containers because they didn't want to do dishes, unfriendly, etc.) I hope they improve upon these staffing issues soon. Their seating area is good for friends and groups to loiter. Also, if you plan on bringing a laptop, they have MANY OUTLETS!!

    Holy heck this dessert spot by Wellington Station was amazing…read more Highly recommend the dessert wheel ("Fondue for 2-3" $29.99). We chose dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and Nutella. For items: we chose strawberry, banana, halal marshmallow, waffle bites, brownie bites, and Oreo with a round of cappuccino's ($5.50 each). The interior is nicely decorated with a cute angel photo op in the back, and window bar seats and couches to choose from. Great spot for 2-4 people. The only criticism I could have was it took a while to get our order. So, it's not one of those places you can be dipping into expecting to be done in 20mins! We stayed for nearly 3 hours and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

    I heard that this was a must have when traveling to Toronto. BeaverTails did not disappoint…read more I went straight for the BeaverTails, although they do offer other delicious options. We ordered the Bananarama and Coco Vanil. They are both awesome, although if I could only choose one, I'd go with Bananarama. It was amazing. I'll be coming back for more in the days to come. The service was fantastic. The individual that helped me was very nice. She had several recommendations. There is a nice patio to enjoy your treat, along with the views. Like I mentioned before, I'm definitely coming back for more. I highly recommend you visit BeaverTails when in Toronto. You will not be disappointed.

    I'm so glad I FINALLY got to try Beaver Tails when I came up to Toronto. I remember seeing it from…read morean old Cartoon Network show (Anyone else remember "Stoked") and I knew I just had to try it when I finally got up here. I got the Avalanche (Skor,Cheesecake, and Caramel) and I loved that they stretched the dough when we ordered and then start frying it right there. It really ensures that we get freshly fried Beaver Tails at the peak of their deliciousness. After I got mine slathered with the toppings I ordered, I dug in and as expected, it's really hot but SOOOOO good. It's like the concept of a donut only thinner and crispier, thus resulting in a much better texture and crunch throughout which I very much prefer over a donut actually. The cheesecake spread mingling with the sweet caramel, crunchy toffee bits, and crispy hot dough is just such a perfect combination. It's a bit of a mess to eat but sooooo worth it. It really is such a shame that there isn't an establishment like this in NYC because it could seriously do some REALLY good numbers over here I reckon. I HAVE to get this again when I come back up to Canada (unless ya'll want to build a place down across the border haha).

They have so much drink and dessert options to choose from! My favorite was the potato bacon croissant, such a delicious savory combo. Everything else we tried was just as great. They have so much cream filling inside.

    I stopped by Kream after seeing all the hype on Instagram about the famous Korean "Dubai…read morechocolate." When I saw the price was $9.90 per chocolate, I was honestly a little surprised, bc it's sold under 7 per chocolate in Korea. But they were running a promotion until the 15th -- 5 for $30 -- which made it much more reasonable. I've never had the original version sold in Korea, so I can't compare it directly, but from what I've seen and heard, it seems pretty similar to what's trending there. Korean reviews are overwhelmingly positive, and people say it tastes just like the viral version. The texture is definitely chewy, just like the name suggests, and it's very sweet. Personally, it was a bit too sweet for my taste, but that's just my preference. That being said, I gave some as gifts and they absolutely loved it. So if you enjoy rich, sweet desserts -- or you're looking for something trendy and fun to share -- this would be a great choice. The shop itself is small and cozy, but very welcoming. The staff were friendly and made the experience pleasant. Overall, even though it's not exactly my personal favorite flavor-wise, I can understand the hype. It's a fun treat to try at least once, especially if you've been curious about the viral Korean Dubai chocolate trend. I'd recommend stopping by and taking advantage of the promo while it lasts!
