If gourmet burgers were a recent breakout food trend, this year looks like it's shaping up to be the year of the Izakaya. Following the incredible success of Guu, restaurateurs seem to be scrambling to open up competitors to get a cut of the action. Now Sushi Queen (the restaurant near Queen and McCaul) is getting into the act as it's just opened a second location serving plenty of Japanese small plates.

From the owners of Manpuku, a new fast food restaurant has opened on Baldwin in Kensington Market. On the menu? No noodle dishes or takoyaki but instead a variety of disc shaped grilled sandwiches with fillings like sweet tofu, mochi, salmon and pork cutlet.

There's a new contender on the local burger and fries scene.

There's a new pizza place in town but it's not where you'd expect. Found in the old Java Joe's near Bay and Gerrard this fast food restaurant might look like a typical Lebanese shawarma and kabab joint. But it's the mini pizzas here (including the delectable zatar above) that really make this place go zing.

Amongst the chi-chi houseware and furniture stores in Rosedale lies one of the city's best sandwich shops. On the menu is a simple selection of five fillings including a super tender slow roasted beef brisket.
