This Parkdale eatery adds a twist to regular pub fare and wings are no exception. Their oven-roasted chicken wings are big, sticky and out of the ordinary, with sauces like Moroccan dry rub tequila pineapple, maple chipotle, red Thai curry and spicy pumpkin honey garlic. Add fries, salad or house-made blue cheese dipping sauce.

Word has spread about the awesome brunches at this Parkdale stalwart. Crowds can be daunting, but superb French toast, made with challah and garnished with daily toppings (from stewed mangoes to candied cashews), is worth the wait. A relaxed atmosphere and dishes that are familiar but with a twist, such as buttermilk oatmeal pancakes, make it a safe option for those with tykes in tow.

I will admit it when I think of Queen and Lansdowne I don’t immediately summon images of lush garden patios and warm, clean air evenings. But Mitzi’s Sister, in the heart of Parkdale, is a definite it-patio, not only for the excellent tap selection and extensive drink list but also for the fish tacos. Munching on an F.T (new acronym; do you like it?) in Mitzi’s backyard is like an evening in Mexico (think Guadalajara not Puerto Vallarta) but without the threat of swine flu or a mariachi band. Speaking of bands; Mitzi’s does have live music, but if you are not into that scene, the patio is the perfect escape.

This cozy, open space features flattering lighting good for first dates, semi-comfortable seats, an impressive microbrew selection and decent sightlines, which means it's easy to focus on the live acts (nightly, often no-cover) if conversation gets stilted.
