W Burger Bar (not to be confused with Kensington's recently opened Burger Bar) is foremost a hamburger joint, and their comfort-food menu is anchored on a solid selection of burgers. They also serve boozy milkshakes, and their female wait staff wear translucent pink v-necks and black bras that emphasize bust over bustle.

Over the last few weeks, we've checked out a number of restaurants around the city. Claire stopped by Mogette, a charming French bistro located on Mount Pleasant north of Davisville. And Orman headed to Bloor West Village and the Shops at Don Mills to try out My Place -- A Canadian Pub and Glow Fresh Grill and Wine Bar, respectively.

Full reviews of Mogette Bistro, My Place - A Canadian Pub and Glow Fresh Grill and Wine Bar are posted in the restaurants section.

Located at the northern end of Church St., Lola's Commissary offers modern interpretations of traditional brunch fare as well as a wide variety of lunch and dinner items. I was pretty impressed by the egg dishes, but it was the French toast stuffed with cheesecake that blew me away.

The promise of "impossibly delicious goodness made possible," is far too confident not to be met. And, sure enough, the lovely folks at OMG Baked Goodness made good on their word and then some with a few of the freshest, plushest cakes I've ever had. The vegan options are surprisingly good, too.

Simon's Wok is in East Chinatown, but this vegetarian Chinese eatery is worth seeking out. (There's much more to Toronto Chinese food than BBQ Pork on the Spadina strip, west-enders!)

Simon's conveys a different perspective on vegetarian food, with a whopping 111 menu items to choose from, including a wide range of hearty "fake meat" options. And trust me... earnestly-named dishes like "Assorted Wheat Gluten" are a lot more delicious than they sound.
