Have heard great things about Blondies and finally was able to go. We ordered ahead and picked up Cold Drink/Hot Girl and it was bomb. We also got dips and it went super well with the pizza. I actually liked the service, the aesthetic and the pizza was better than Pizzeria Badiali but I may also have pizza taste that is more closer to north american type pizza than authentic Italian. I still have to try Makers and North of Brooklyn but this is one of my top pizza places for sure now.

We were on Ossington trying to get into a place on a packed Thursday and this place let us put our name on their waiting list. An hour wait but it was not bad as we were just around the area. The inside is lively, bright and well laid out. The menu is geared towards sharing and we took recommendations from the waiter and ordered the House Dip Kopanisti as well as the Spanakopita. The house dip was good but nothing special, I did like the bread it came with as it was prepared in house and tasted great. The Spanakopita was a spinach pie sandwich that tasted phenomenal. I had tried it on Greece and this was just as good with a flaky croissant exterior and the inside was where all the cheese and spinach was. It was a table favourite. We unfortunately had to leave after appetizers due to something coming up but I can't wait to come here again to potentially try some of the seafood spots. Ossington fails to disappoint with its great food options.

Was in Vaughan for an appointment and decided to grab some Pho. This place is not the best looking but has that vibe where you know they are going to have good, authentic food. We ordered the Spicy Tom Yum Noodle Soup and the Spicy Lemongrass Noodle Soup. This was our third time trying pho after two subpar experiences and can definitely say this one was really good. The broth was great and had a great spice level. The portion sizes are huge and you may find yourself packing some to go home. If you're near Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, I would try this place out. Just don't be put off by the appearance as you'll notice it's usually packed as it was on this random Wednesday night.

If you're craving Japanese BBQ, Gyubee is probably one of the most well known places for it in the GTA. We went to get dinner here on a weekend and it was absolutely packed. The menu is full of options and they are delivered to the table pretty quickly as you order. They are also very attentive to the cooking area and replace the cooking tray often. Pop is also good to add as it has free refills. They are pretty strict on the two hour seating time so that's something to be aware of as you go with a big group. The interior is nice and clean as well.

Reserved this place for my wife's birthday after seeing great reviews and it was also was chosen as a Michelin Guide restaurant for this year. The inside is nice and cozy, more on the contemporary side rather than modern and sleek which is what I prefer.

We ended up ordering Chicken Satay which was probably the best dish, the flavour was amazing. The Smoked Duck Curry was one of our mains and this was also amazing, the mix of flavours was phenomenal. We ordered the Dry Khao Soi which was great, similar to other Thai spots.

The service was also amazing! They were super nice and friendly. They even threw in a nice little birthday treat. Highly recommend this place
